I've read in a number of threads that some folks tip vendors.  For those that don't mind answering this.. how much and how often?

I sometimes round-up payments, so vendors get a dollar or so extra from me. I don't see it as a tip more of a convenience thing really, especially when converting currency to BTC. I don't think the vendors seek favour, just honest and discrete buyers. We all need each other, vendors, buyers. forum members...Symbiosis...Forgive me probably consumed far too much quality product to be making any sense.

Depending on the vendor and payment method I generally just round up most of the time. There's no need to do so of course.  

 
Every once in a while I throw in an extra $10.  I don't know why other than I would appreciate it and remember it if someone did it for me.

 
If a vendor has gone above and beyond for me (like special orders) I will throw in an extra $10.

A little bird told me about using a box when sending CIM so recently I've included some holiday chocolates as a tip.

 
I like that Oz how clever!  Who doesn't want a sweet tip! I'll have to steal that one from you.

 
I do sometimes. You never know when you're going to need a favor.... like actual overnight shipping.

 
I tip sometimes, especially when the person has tremendously helped me. But, I also always tip at the usual places, and not so usual places including piZZa hUt carryout and at sUbwAy (I mentioned those since most people I know do NOT tip there). But if the service is phenomenal and they’re going above and beyond, then I’ll def tip. But, that’s just me. And I’m a firm believer in “To each their own”.

 
I think tipping is corrupt and needs to be done away with everywhere.  I feel like I'm paying twice. The best holidays (and service) I've had were in Asian countries and in Oz where spare change wasn't even accepted by my female taxi driver after she voluntarily carried my luggage from the boot to the hotel lobby.  I used to work for tips as a stripper, and I hated it from that end too.  Employers need to pay all their workers a living wage, and not misclassify them as "independent contractors" or "business owners".  When I got tips onstage, I felt awkward about it, esp on my first day on the job.

I'd never tip the postal worker.  They're usually Feds and get good pay, benefits and jobs security.

 
I have always tried to tip up even if it’s a buck or 2, especially using bitcoin. Vendors certainly appreciate a nice lagniappe and it’s generally good business practice!

All the time, and amount is based on dollar size. Say an order is 280,id just round to 300, for example

Yep!! It shows appreciation, and these "tips" add up here and there. Leelawadee even uses their extra tips to help other clients who may need some support in buying a magazine. I love her and i love that pay it forward attitude!!

  1. xenxra @ xenxra: pretty sure black also went rogue sometime late last year
  2. Strawhat7 @ Strawhat7: Yo, whatever happened to Mr. Black? Just got a rando email from him after ghosting me like a year and a half ago
  3. LW815 @ LW815: Know what’s really going on in somebody else’s head or how much they’re really dealing with and feel like they’re left with no other options. Been a very sad few days but 2 complete (irl anyway) strangers cared enough about what I was going through to talk to me about it, though they owe me nothing and have no reason to help my personal pain other than the kindness in their own hearts. Just shows that this place is a real community, not just a forum of people who only care about themselves.
  4. LW815 @ LW815: Was nodding in/out the entire time writing those shouts and spparently was fully out sending the last one lol. But II find it ‘uplifting’ as two people I’ve never actually met and only know the others online presence through subscriptions, who I have a better chance of getting a handy J from Jesus Christ himself, both were so quick to share their own experience and wise words and assurances that things will look up and not to feel guilty or be mad at somebody for going that route - as you never
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 meh, same difference. they both got blacklisted on here. wouldn't be the first time a rogue shop sent out unsolicited comms after the fact.
  6. MOD @ MOD: Hello @everyone
  7. LW815 @ LW815: Own personal experience with this kind of this type kind of situation and sympathized with my pain when I really just needed somebody to talk to. Both went out of their way to help a stranger in a time of need when I really needed somebody, and body to talk to. MM
  8. LW815 @ LW815: Sent a simple conf email and I just dropped a ball on them. I really just needed to let it out, didn’t expect them to reply in such a thoughtful way that it drastically changed the rest of my day and mindset for the bette . Above and beyond - and the last night while chatting with another that I knew had at least once one child,, so i wished them a belated happy Father’s Day, which again caused me to spill it all to them and again received the most thoughtful and kind response, as well as their-
  9. LW815 @ LW815: They didn’t need to. They could have just continued on with the nature or the main purpose of what the relationship between us is, I didn’t really have anybody else to let it out to at the time and they both went far beyond what I’d expect. Not that I’d assumed they’re cold/A-holes - it was just a lot from somebody who’s technically a competent stranger. A very close friend of mine committed suicide on Father’s Day and iwas emotionally wrecked witih nobody to talk to, and the first author just
  10. LW815 @ LW815: @Mokachin0 not really uplifting in the normal sense, but two popular authors on here took the time out of their likely very busy days to not only read my massive walls of text, but both also replied with the most kind, thoughtful and positive responses when I randomly dumped my personal problems into their laps
  11. H @ hotdog45: I have never ordered mags from him I meant
  12. H @ hotdog45: @xenxra I thought that too but after digging on the site it is chemical cabinet. Either way I deleted the email. I have ordered mags from him, but I thought you guys should know he's reaching out to people again. After reading the thread if anyone gets an email from him I would suggest doing the same.
  13. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 isn't that ghost? he threw his rep in the trash and got blacklisted
  14. O @ oh be g: thank you! hopefully this will inpsirw someone!
  15. M @ Mokachin0: @oh be g check your dms!
  16. O @ oh be g: these were instilled in me by a coworker who has had about the worst trauma experiences in life and he is still the most positive upbeat guy ive met
  17. O @ oh be g: btw these are actual good practices and help greatly if u form as a habit
  18. H @ hotdog45: Anyone else get an email from schedwick666 I haven't opened it. I remember he was on here but I cannot recall what happened
  19. O @ oh be g: and always remember to use any .... whateere it mayy be safely ad rememeber those who have passed. keep safe in their honor
  20. O @ oh be g: ill play! wake up every morning knowing its a gift to wake up!
