I’ve seen this in other countries but it’s usually something like “who would win in a fight; Batman/Superman”.
it’d have to come down to muck savages and jackeens in Ireland though.

The divider is quite flimsy. With a sleight of hand, flair and dexterity you can place your coin in its rightful place while moving the card up, to the side and then down again in order to scrunch some of the base coins to the preferred side.
I was about to say “wouldn’t it make better sense to have two cups”. never noticed the divider!
IDB
What about foreigns?
scottser
yeah, do they not tip?
Odis
Racists, the pair of you. Are they not Dub Foreigns or Culchie Foriegns?
Derval
Tipping doesn’t apply to Ireland.
There is no 2 tier minimum wage situation in Ireland as there is in USA.
So, unless you wish to tip everyone on minimum wage – yes that includes people in factories that make your favourite toothpaste, then don’t tip anyone.

PS.
Who’s idea was it to give computers to culchies?
I have this theory, bear with me please while I make it up,, but I think they’re using OUR computers when we aren’t looking!
We used to have a wall to keep them out. We should use the excess Poles to rebuild it and then send them home too.
Dublin is great, because it’s full of Dubliners. Let’s keep it that way.
Broadsheet, please post more of this kind of shite.
Thanks.

Ah it does. I’m 34 now, nigh on 35, and when I was a young lad I can remember my parents and their friends tipping for excellent service, but only when it was excellent. Don’t think it really applies to Munchies, you talking about in a restaurant where the staff fawn all over you, give you great advice on the food, wine etc, and are helpful but never cross the line on being buggy, but if they’re doing the bear minimum, ie, seating you, taking your order, bringing you food and getting the bill stuff off. The tip you’re getting matey is try harder next time.
In the US you had better tip. That place is horrible to it’s service staff. In Nevada and a number of other states, service staff are taxed on assumed tips, this includes the cleaning maids. I couldn’t believe that. I still feel bad about the first time I was in NY and I clear forgot I was supposed to tip the barmaid.
Derval
Yes the wages laws and how the pay system is implemented in USA is really stupid but there you go.
Tipping is just really stupid.
I just avoid places as much as possible where tips are expected.
munkifisht
Well that’s a f**king stupid attitude. Why would you avoid the Sates simply because of tipping? It’s part of the standard cost there so even when you do include it things are around the same price or a hell of a lot less than in IReland without the tipping.
Derval
I never said I’m not stupid.
But also, I didn’t mean avoid USA, I meant avoid being served by a waiter.
Jim Computer
When you want to find a ‘stupid attitude’, you haven’t much searching to do.
Most people want to see a legitimate bottom figure on the bottom of their bill, and they’re perfectly entitled to expect that and nothing else. This is Ireland.
Please, stick your Americanisms back up the orifice you plucked them from.
You’re in Ireland now
We run things.
munkifisht
F**king stupid Derval… I said f**king stupid :).
But if you’re in Ireland, or Europe in general, don’t really know where these places are where they expect to be tipped. If you means service charge, service charge is a different thing.
You run sweet f**k all Jim.
…
Sweet.
F**k.
All.
Derval
I’ll have you know, I’m the least stupid person in this automobile.
John E. Bravo
Most Dubliners who can afford to tip are the childern of their betters from the west.
realPolithicks
America?
Jim Computer
Good attempt Mr. Bravo, but the proper Dublin pronunciation of the word ‘children’ is ‘chill-der-din’., not childern.
That’s a tip for you.
Pass it on.
fFs
Clever version of click-bait to get the punters’ cash

exactly, and unless the staff at Munchies IFSC have become a LOT more pleasant since I was last there it’s their only hope.

“Who tips better”?
People from Tipperary.
reds
If somewhere leaves a bowl out for tips, I generally don’t tip. Certainly wouldnt tip if I saw that bowl.
I’ll leave a generous tip if the service/food is good….but not if someone has a bowl with a sign in it looking for a tip.
but thats just me.
Alfred E. Neumann
Not just you. Lots of other people with weird individual justifications for their meanness.
Jim Computer
Get a grip. pseudoman, I meam ‘Neu’mann.
The ‘tipping’ culture you advocate only perpetuates and excuses a low wage.
It shouldn’t exist, and it certainly shouldn’t be encouraged.
Tell me where you live.
I want to punch you.
Trust me, It’ll be good for BOTH of us.
Janet
yep pretty easy to spot people who never worked in the service industry ..
Derval
If you work in a toothpaste factory you are serving those who use that toothpaste.
Derval
It’s easy to spot those who think that writing down what people ask for and then bringing that to them is a special type of work.
Do you tip people who work in Argos or supermarkets?
Do you tip teachers, bus drivers?
Paolo
Stupid comment. Tipping culture helps nobody. And yes, I worked in the service industry for many years.
Jim Computer
Oops, sorry Alfred.
I’m not sober, but still, I have no justification for singling you out.
You seem like a perfectly decent person on reflection.
I’m sorry.
This website, it’s so full of idiots.
munkifisht
I hope you’re counting yourself among their ranks.
Jim Computer
Of course I count myself amongst them, monkeyfister,, but only when I leave a comment..
The rest of the time I’m sober.
Still don’t care very much, either way.
What were we talking about?
Alfred E. Neumann
No problem, Jim. I think I understand the Broadsheet posting cycle.
6AM – 3PM: Hungover.
3PM – 1AM: Drunk and giddy, becoming drunk and truculent.
1AM – 6AM: Still drunk, but with added cocaine.

Is it not true that dublin is full of scumbags and all the nice people who you encounter are from other parts of Ireland/the world?
Paolo
Seems like Dubs are more easily guilt-tripped into paying someone’s wages instead of their employer.
I’ve seen this in other countries but it’s usually something like “who would win in a fight; Batman/Superman”.

Or SO I HEARD.
