My Tipping Problem


It was easy back in the States to tip someone. Every time you go to a restaurant you pay 15% of your bill to whomever is serving you. And man when the waitress is HOT we tip her like there is no tomorrow, 20 to 30%. and some times 100%. You can call me crazy, nuts, or horny but man when a waitress serves you "well" that is worth over tipping. That is how it was back in the states. But here in Kuwait it is a complete different story. We only have Phillipino waitresses and honestly they ALL ARE THE SAME. No matter where you go they all have this really weird greeting and they always smile no matter what the situation is. I think being positive all the time is a good thing for tips of course. May that's their untold and secret project; to push all Kuwaitis to bankruptcy by making them over tip. Umm, i think that's a problem and we all have to put our heads together to make them stop. But hold on, DO KUWAITIES TIP?!?! I leave this question to you people.

The only Kuwaitis on Earth who do tip are those living in the West. I doubt that the Kuwaiti people know why they don't tip in Kuwait !

I am really sorry about the other blog ... to answer your question about how lean the woman is, actually she was kinda fat when we first met but I (Mr. No) made her say NO to almost everything eatable. So yeah it was ALL ME. hahaha

I tip 10% no matter what. 7atan law bad service. Out of common decency!

plz check post titled: Me, Myself & Mr. Pimple .. for i have given u some useful advice in that metter :)

as for tipping.. well some places trick u by adding the service charge (i.e. tip) in this situation.. in this case (in Q8) i tip the person who waited on my table 1 KD for their trouble.. which is only fair since they will get a % from the service charge.. i know ur gonna call me cheap and stuff.. but keep it real! why pay for dinner twice! dinner+service charge+15% tip!! get out!

but if there was no service charge on the bill.. i tip 10-15%
