I have never seen someone write "get a real job" on a receipt. I've seen bad tipping but not this level of asshole-ness

Sometimes back in the day, I would put the tip underneath an overturned glass of water.

My friends used to put the tip inside of a straw then sear the ends shut so she had to cut the money out.

Seriously they just thought it looked cool, I'm not sure that it ever occured to them how annoying that was.

People from my grandparents generation were terrible tippers.

But thats because the tipping was less back then

In the 40s, the etiquette books recommended a 10% tip.

That is incredibly shitty. That money was never received, since no one's going to stop what they're doing to look for money inside of straws. Straws just get thrown out when a table is bussed, so that was money that literally went in the garbage. :smt011
