I worked security for Vince Vaughn and his table one night at the club I used to work at in Chicago. Dude was completely wasted and wasted all his money. Tried tipping me $3. Was I mad? Well, a little bit. But in the end...I got to meet Vince Vaughn.
And I was still getting paid anyways.

Since we've made this a celebrity tipping thread instead of about Aaron Rodgers...

Some of you may know of this story already, but Favre gave a buddy of mine who is a delivery guy for a pizza company a $50 for two pizza's and some soda. It was something like a 20 plus tip.

I agree.
I bet Ted MADE him tip only $30.
You DO realize a team's GM controls 100% of what a football player does, even on his own time.......yeah....THATS it!!!LOLOLOL!!!
(I know you were kidding Trippster......in case anyone reads my response and thinks it's meant towards you!)

There's no law that says you have to tip ANYTHING. But if the service was good, it shows class to tip decently.
Last week i read in "Dear Abbey" (I'm gonna catch crap for admitting that) where someone asked what was correct to tip. If the service was great she said 20%. And, if you couldn't afford a decent tip, you shouldn't be eatting at the place. That last line kind of ticked me off. I and my wife don't go out to "fancy" places very often, as we can't afford it. (My idea of "fancy" is where we would drop $50 between the 2 of us) We do that maybe once or twice a year. If the service was good I'll tip 15%, as thats about the most i can afford. I know the wait staff works on mostly tips, and i worked at a couple of restaurants when i was young. If i could afford it, i would LOVE to tip lots more. But sometimes i just don't have it.
Rich people SHOULD give a tip based on the quality of service, as they have the "disposable income".
If i had the money, and left $30 on a $800 bill, i'd be embarrassed. Thats not even a 4% tip. But thats just me.

Ted wrote up the contract for Aaron Rodgers that disallows any tip to exceed 30 bucks.

Tipping is not just for rich people Cheesey. I agree with Abbey. If you cannot afford to leave the 20% tip for good service then you really should re evaluate if spending the cash to eat there is a financially prudent decision in the first place. It is simply the cost of eating out.

Personally, I would much rather spend the money from the nice restaurant on a much nicer meal that I would cook myself. For $50 I can make an outrageously nice dinner with drinks!

Sound like Arod was the one that paid the bill so that is why he was singled out and responsible. Maybe he thought the service was horrendous. IF that were the case then he should have also said something to the manager. But an $800 dollar bill for a bunch of drunks deserves a $160 tip.

On the other hand, I guess it is also depended on the AMOUNT of service is required. If I ordered an $800 bottle of Champagne and all the waiter did was bring the bottle and 4 glasses, do they deserve $160 for the walk to the cooler and back? I think not.

So I wuess I am playing both sides of this issue. I see it from everyone's point of view.

I shall now run for some type of office. I have become a politician. :cyclopsani:

read story again

the person said they were hellen keller drunk

how can one be assured that being that drunk you know exactly what your pulling out of your wallet or pockets?

I have done it NUMEROUS times..in fact have lost lot of money by giving to much as a tip when I was drunk and I also have not left anything for a tip when being to drunk..


This person also complained that they were so drunk and loud it cleared out half of the place..WEll GD lady/man, kick them out stop catering to them

    dfosterf (2h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
    dfosterf (2h) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (4h) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (4h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (4h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (4h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (4h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (4h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (4h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (4h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (4h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (4h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (4h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (4h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (5h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (6h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (6h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (6h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
    Zero2Cool (22h) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
    Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
    dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
    Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
    Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
    wpr (9-Apr) : yay
    Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
    Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
    Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
    Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
