[QUOTE="300 PRC CUSTOM SAKO, post: 2944717, member: 124840"] Professional (the REAL Professions, not the current, well I do it for a living, I'm a "professional ") people do not take tips of ANY kind. Nurses, doctors do not take tips. The idea of a tip has gotten crazy, for example, the precalculated tip on bills...they are all based on the total bill...well I'm NOT tipping on taxes.
