How much do you tip at the grocery store?

After your cashier bags your groceries, how much do you tip? Is it a percentage of your bill, or do you use a flat rate? Or some sort of per bag system? Typically I use some sort of total bill + how friendly they were + how efficient they were system. Usually 10 percent plus my own little algorithm, and it is also dependent upon what store I'm in. Example Wal Mart gets tipped less than Publix

I think it's still rude to not tip at least a little.

I'm german and i have NEVER ever heard of people tipping at the grocery store before.

[Anonymous No.10087232]

>>10087223
dude, I'm 51 years old, I have never seen or heard of anyone tipping baggers.

I am certainly not going to tip the retarded people they use at my grocery store. Literally retarded. they drop stuff and freak out.

Nope, no tipping, hell half the time I have to bag my own groceries because el retardo is having a freak out at the next lane over.

[Anonymous No.10087235]

When I was a kid (and they hired normal people) they used to take your groceries out to your car, even then no one got tipped.

[Anonymous No.10087236]

>>10087195
If both the bagger and clerk both clap when my card goes through, 5 dollars apiece.

[Anonymous No.10087240]

The grocery stores I go to, its looked down upon for not tipping the baggers, because they do it for only tips. They don't get paid at all. It's usually why I avoid the non self-checkout lanes. The baggers would run to your shit to bag em quicker than you can get to them and stare into your soul for the tips

[Anonymous No.10087247]

in the army i used to tip the baggers at the commissary, because i know they're probably not getting paid much and they were usually teenagers.

back home in texas now, shopping at HEB, i don't tip cashiers who bag.

Maybe you've just lived in cheap areas all your lives. It's just common courtesy.

[Anonymous No.10087257]

>>10087252
no it's not "common courtesy" I know people in many parts of the US, and tipping a bagger is not done, hell they make $10+ an hour here. minimum wage.

You're just stupid, for giving away money un-neccesarily.

[Anonymous No.10087262]

>>10087252
also I like how you insinuate that I am poor, and mean. But it's just not done, because there is no reason to.

Instead of trying this hard to convince me, maybe you should put the effort into looking inside yourself and deciding whether you're really comfortable treating service workers the way you do.

[Anonymous No.10087278]

I am not doing anything wrong, and they are being very well paid, even if they are retarded.

You on the other hand are an conniving person. You have convinced me to NEVER tip a bagger ever.

I shop at 2 'kets.

ALDI
>self bagging
>you use their boxes and clean the store shelves for them
>employee to shopper interface has crashed
>They would likely rather slit their wrists and bleed out then take your groceries anywhere
Here's the thing
>you put 25cents in shopping cart to use it, which is returned to you at end.
>I tip the shopping cart by leaving it whole carrots
Shopping carts love carrots.

Publix: Where shopping is a pleasure island
>Full mega service
>employees suck and fuck 4 free
>Drink entire gallon of milk, return no questions asked
>Cashiers mostly white college age ring'em up whores
>baggers either retarded, autistic, or barely breathing
>NEVER TIP
Publix's shopping experience has established me as KING ALPHA

I will occasionally tip the cars passing by at front of store when they let me pass. I also tip the salvation army lady for having a cool bucket and shaking it just right.

[Anonymous No.10087299]

>>10087278
I also don't tip:
the guy at discount tires that fills my tires.
The people who dry my car at the car wash.
servers at any fast food restaurant.
Starbucks employees
any place that has a tip jar.

[Anonymous No.10087302]

oh thanks for reminding me, I also don't give money to:

Are you the same person continuing to rant? You really need to address your issues if you are. A person who is satisfied with his own behavior does not respond like this.

I worked in a grocery store in high school. There are two types of stores: one where baggers get paid and don't expect tips (this is even a company policy at some - do not accept tips) and one where baggers don't get paid and work for tips (this is common at on-base commissries).

I worked at the former and never expected a tip. However, sometimes assisting people outside in the snow could get you a few bucks. However the big ticket was helping guys stocking up for yachts/ fishing boats / boat races with their $500 - $2000 orders always got you a tip that could range from ten to sixty bucks. These are the folks you wanted to do everything for.

basically you or OP or whoever comes here post bullshit about tipping, and then acts all righteous about it.

You are wrong and tipping of baggers is not common. The holier than thou attitude is not helping your cause.

Contrary to anon, I also tip:

>foreign exchange students (in foreign exchange)
>Grandmas and Grandpas everywhere for beating the allies in WW2
>Deepweb drug dealing sources
>Skywriters (from my plane)
>Ideas (existentially)

the simple fact is it sucks to be you. Tipping of baggers in the part of the country I live in just does not happen. There are no stores here that do not pay baggers full minimum wages which is over $10 per hour.

$10 is about half of what I make doing IT work.

I tip about 20% on the total bill and split it 25/75% for the cashier and bagger. I'll throw in an extra 5 dollars if they carry it to my car.

>Americans are so conditioned to give away their money they even "tip" cashiers

I can't tell whether this is funny or sad.

[Anonymous No.10088287]

I've never worked in any retail environment, besides food/drink, that expected tips. You are not supposed to get tips working at a supermarket. You are not supposed to accept them or solicit them. Old ladies might give you some money for helping them unload groceries into their car. I always treasured the money I got from people that tipped me when I was cashier. If you're getting tipped on the regular as a cashier or courtesy clerk; you're either doing something very right or something very wrong.

I know this defeats the purpose of your joke. But, I don't want any non-Americans getting twisted.

It's funny you think this is real. The only time I've seen grocery employees get a tip is if the bag boy helps an old lady carry her stuff to the car and she gives him a dollar .
