I was in the heating service and the company that I worked for offered 24 hour service. I had a call at 3 in the morning of no heat and I recognized the persons house I went to. She was a bartender at a local bar. I repaired the furnace and then went home. The following weekend my friend and I were out at the bar that the woman worked at and ordered a couple of beers. I did not tip her and she told me that most people tip. My mind went to the night I got out of my bed cleaned of the service van went to her house repaired her furnace and no tip was offered. She turns around opened 2 beers and expected a tip. I feel a tip should be if a person wants to give one.

[@richardthomas1743]

No to tipping on getting a cup of Coffee.

[@DinanBMWm5]

Sometimes I feel pressured to tip and sometimes I don’t care to, but I agree, someone doing the bare minimum shouldn’t expect a tip when they’re getting paid to do the bare minimum.

[@gerryduffy6700]

No tips for a takeout coffee! Tips should be earned in my view, and I tip regularly 15-20 percent. You’re right Josh 😊

[@bb818usa]

Big 10-4 on that

[@rmedlinnc]

Agree 100% about tipping! TIPS= To insure prompt service!

[@mikegapper8485]

No Tip Josh ,dont feel bad. Service =Tip .No service = no tip

[@drive4life424]

The credit card systems that ask if you want to tip is built into the program and it's not the employee asking for a tip. I do agree that tipping just for a takeout order whether it's coffee or food isn't necessary

[@ericjccook]

This is the correct answer.

[@K_3_R_R]

By far one of the best KZbin channels out there. Simple, down-home, family friendly entertainment. Love riding shotgun along with you on your trips, and enjoy spending time with you and the growing family. Hope you all are well, and I wish you safe travels.

[@parrott350]

always carry cash. Cards are bad, Cash is always good, I always give a tip, sometimes it maybe small, but if i have a choice I tip. Cash is king. Don't get set up with that card, You ALWAYS should have some cash, even hidden on your truck somewhere for an emergency. Carry some cash Josh , Best regards Chuck.

[@paulblackburn8746]

I agree with you about tips, minimum input and service equals no tip.

[@BlastingFun2007]

Lake Superior got its name from the Ojibwe called it Kitchigami, meaning “great lake.” In the 1600s it was called Le Lac Superior, or “upper lake,” by the French missionaries, denoting its location at the top of the Great Lakes region.

[@bks7842]

Yeah, I'm with you. I don't feel the need to tip for take out. Also, I hate being asked if I'd like to donate to (insert charity here) that I know nothing about when checking out at the grocery store.

[@susanlamendeau2344]

Tipping should be our choice and not asked for. It is about good service

[@dougspencer3572]

I'm one hundred percent with you Josh! Myself I wouldn't have gave one.

[@tantsits77]

Agree with you. No tip. That’s their job.

[@John-Maine]

NO TIPPING FOR COFFEE OR ANY OTHER QUICK TAKEOUT !! I tip well for wait staff service ....higher end of tipping is my standard......you actually have to perform poorly for me to tip less than 20-25%....but not for a cup of coffee or picking up a sandwich to go... You're Still in Our Good Graces Josh !!! Longtime subscriber/viewer here !!

[@truckgp7078]

Tipping is out of control everywhere Josh. Everyone asks for a tip now.

[@user-jf2wn9gp7h]

For sit down restaurants I generally start at 20%. It's up to the server to keep it there. Bad service, tip goes down. For a coffee that they just pour and hand you, absolutely not.

[@jillotto5762]

Hi Trucker Josh I agree with you about the tips if someone deserves it I will be glad to tip but you were not in the wrong what a great video have a safe trip going home god bless 🙏

[@MikeO-vx7bq]

Couldn't agree with you more !

[@maryrussell7298]

Josh you’re absolutly correct about tipping!

[@tcifusion4497]

LOVED THIS AS MUCH AS ALL OF UR VIDEOS.....FAMILY TIME COMING UP!!!

[@jefflee5047]

I fully agree with your thoughts on tipping.

[@davidlayne4147]

Karen should have shouted, 'Hello Wisconsin!", like Ashton Kutcher from That 70's Show. 😀

[@joshbryant67]

Your right on tipping I always click no tip in that situation. You go above and beyond. Or restaurant where I sit down a server take my order then brings it to me they get tip. I had a blow out on my trailer tire. Was told 90-120 mins for Roadside to show up. He was there in 45 min and had my tire replaced on semi trailer . Also had to pull the mud flap hanger back with his truck all in 15min have to unmount and remount tire on rim. I tipped him $20 for being so fast since my clock was running

[@cswelsh]

I agree with you Josh. Tipping should be up to the customer. When I moved to Japan , I was suprised to find that there Is no tipping in restaurants, cafes 　and taxis

[@kelhapam]

French travelers exploring the Great Lakes in the 1600s called the westernmost lake “Superior” on account of its higher elevation. And in 1854, the name was applied to the lake's newly formed westernmost town: Superior, Wisconsin.

[@dougkeim693]

How about when they ask if you want your change back.

[@rbj2292]

I agree with you about the tip. Keep on trucking!

[@dallaslanderson2418]

In this day of 13 to 24 per cent inflation, tipping is out of the question

[@JoseCarlos-BarbosaJunior]

Hi Josh I appreciate your videos thanks!!!!! I'm from Brazil.

[@mikeharris3148]

Your not wrong about tipping, it should be earned and not expected

[@charlesland8287]

I feel the same as you about tipping, I would not have tipped in that situation

[@Jennifer-pz5jl]

No, I don’t tip on coffee, if I want to tip, I do what I want, not what they ask. I tip on the sub total, not the actual bill due.

[@youcantodoit]

As to the tipping... the expectation of a tip on any kind of request is getting out of hand. They're not called tips anymore. It's called extortion.

[@donald-1463]

Josh that's the new normal it's getting worse that'll be a good tip for today

[@dashhoundlover2837]

JOSH ON THE COFFEE I AGREE WITH YOU !!!!

[@JanesDough855]

I agree with you. For a restaurant to just expect a tip for service you may not have liked is rude. One should not have to feel forced, but there are people who don't tip, so thats rude too.

[@johnbruckner4681]

Food workers sometimes like a greeting or thank you more than tips!

[@allenchandler3488]

I agree, no tipping on a quick coffee.

[@Nick-nw6zg]

Hope Britt and Theo are well👌🏼❤️🤘🏼🇺🇸

[@corybrown7187]

I feel the same way about tipping Josh, IF I sit down and get even slightly better than subpar service I will always tip, If I order anything over the counter hell no. Auto tipping for over the counter, is that not theft? Because a tip should be optional all the time, not mandatory.

[@ladyslipper4647]

Thank you❤ You stay safe too🙏🦋

[@TwentyFirsters]

Loved a sign in a local fish and chip shop. "Some folks think Tipping is a town in China".

[@seanmcgee5211]

Totally agree. I’m far from cheap but tipping has gotten out of control. Why do I have to tip for a cup of coffee but I don’t give a tip for a burger at McDonalds.🤔

[@adambrown2533]

It’s just the machine that is auto generated to ask for a tip not the person in general asking for a tip

[@taramiddleton5153]

I only tip if the service is outstanding in the business. I hardly ever tip

[@SamuelManaole]

I agree 100% on your tipping policy. Here in Las Vegas the casino dealers & bartenders expect ( almost demand ) that you tip 10% on all your gambling winnings and 25% on your food and beverages. Even if you lost and spent big money. CRAZY !!!

[@SamuelManaole]

Josh just a clever thought.... When I receive your generous gift "a hat" I'll will guarantee to TIP my hat. But no cash.

[@josephschmidt3832]

I agree with you completely Josh. The only way I’m tipping is if they do something out of kindness that is not of their requirements

[@AlanMcPhearson]

Always love watching your videos and always fun seeing the family

[@philstone5195]

...and the companies that make those card readers make a percentage of the total bill.

[@danielyoder3396]

I agree with you & Hut Pizza will ask fore tip on carry out order & only way I tip if it a delivery or and I don't do business at restaurants that add tip to the bill because if you have horrible service you not getting a tip .

[@Metcalfeben84]

The automatic tip requests are getting out of hand. I don't normally tip for a coffee unless I'm feeling generous.

[@georgepoortinga3232]

Look for no tip option… it’s usually there Very much annoys me when it automatically pops up I try to carry cash for this reason

[@GregM]

In my case I would of said no tip just as I did the other day for a similar instance. If I ate at a restaurant that automatically added a tip to the bill that would be the last time I would eat there.

[@ericwessel4836]

I don't feel you are wrong ,I feel the same as you

[@steveroper8733]

I'm completely in agreement with you, Josh. I've noticed a huge increase in those automatic tipping requests since COVID. I'm not sure why. Generally, I'm a good tipper, 25% or more but now it seems like the tipping requests are out of control. Standing there manning the register is not the same as those folks that serve tables. Tipping should not replace paying employees a reasonable living wage.

[@reddog4674]

You are not wrong this has been happening for far to long I remember the first time a restaurant tried this with me 25 years ago they were not happy with the outcome !

[@SamuelManaole]

Good job sir 💪

[@bigal-ox9jw]

I pick "no tip option "

[@jonathanbaker4936]

Josh, there is no toll roads and no toll bridges in Wisconsin or almost all of Minnesota. I am glad that you finally made it back to Wisconsin. The City of Superior and the Village of Superior (both neighbors) are named after Lake Superior. If you ever come down to the Interstate 94 corridor between Milwaukee and Chicago and if you stop at a truck stop near the Illinois border with Wisconsin, I might come out and meet you. By the way, Superior is about 400 miles northwest of where I live in Wisconsin down in the far southeastern part of the state. Safe travels.

[@jarrodmiller3319]

I don't get tipping for simply completing the transaction. If I don't buy the item, there's no transaction at all. If you didn't do anything above that, forget it. I'm already upset about tipping yesterday for Chipotle on the app. I guess my thumb caught the tipping section while scrolling down and I accidentally added a $3 tip. Food was ready after the scheduled time anyway. First food to come out was already 18 minutes late and they had only opened 5 minutes before the "promised" time.

[@iancrane-luff1918]

Here in Australia, we go out of our way to not tip unless unusual circumstances as we pay our staff a proper wage most services will ask you not to tip

[@ChadRyan]

I don’t tip in coffee shops or fast food places even if the machine asks for it. The exception is if I receive exceptional service. I’ve noticed a lot of “pizza by the slice” places want a tip for a guy to hand me a slice of pizza.

[@clash0820]

Like you I feel obligated to tip.....sometimes you should and sometimes you shouldn't tip depending on the situation.

[@scruff1026]

I agree completely on the tipping situation I asked some waitress a while back, cause I don't tip when ordering take out, and the agreed. That was about 8yrs ago who knows how they or others think now a days.

[@markmungiole3547]

Unless you are sitting down and they bring it to you no tip.

[@Andy-ir1sj]

To even things out, you should ask the receiver to tip you for delivering their freight😄same reasoning..hehe

[@KevininMTL]

My thoughts unless provided with exceptional service: Counter service = no tip Table service = tip

[@brucekimmel7475]

Who knew what???? Yes this asking for tips is getting out of control. You should get a tip for tarping your load You should get a tip for untarping your load You should get a tip for showing upon time You should get a tip for hanging up the fuel nozzle when done You should get a tip for changing lanes without hitting anyone You should get a tip for waking up in the morning You should get a tip for taking a shower You should get a tip for brushing your teeth Safe travels

[@wattyh1]

Hi Bro. When you are away from your family for 1 day or 2 week's on a trip when you deliver to all your customer's do you get a 10/15/20 % tip for your service. A tip should be a personal choice. If you are getting a good service then you dont mind giving a tip. when they are expecting a tip regardless " remember im scottish " they get told to " go away " or something along those line's LOL

[@terryh6304]

I agree 100% with ya on tipping. It's gotten ridiculous.

[@robertschaefer3223]

I hate tipping before any service is rendered.

[@JoseCarlos-BarbosaJunior]

You are sure!!!!! I agree with you.

[@samruffino8281]

I agree with you,I'm old school plus I am old .I am a big tipper always have been. You get NO tip for doing your job ,only if you do extra for me, then you get it ,not for showing up for work ..I worked on a beer truck for 20 years driving and unloading pulling up stairs and curbs that was the job ,NO TIP Be careful out there ,Big Sammy

[@KickininMyRv90]

It is insane people asking for TIPS. If every fast food and restaurants provided a decent wage, no tip required unless as you say For exceptional service. Asking for a tip on a coffee is uncalled for a should be stopped. My thoughts. Great Vlog. More of Theo though. 60/40

[@67shelbygt500]

In my honest opinion I do tip myself but I like to have that choice for the same reasons you have mentioned if you have bad service. A tip is a tip it should not be included in the price it's there for you to give as a generous gift and shouldn't be taken for granted

[@ConcFour9050]

ie: Timmy's or McDonalds , The Middleman/ lady has been removed.. A Tip Not Necessary .. As You said if the Server were to bring the Food / Drink to You then grounds for a Tip.. No matter how you look at it though given today's climate Post Pandemic Increases are so willingly passed onto the Consumer... Beauty

[@johnbueckert6114]

I think that tipping has gotten out of control!

[@SamuelManaole]

THINK ??? ITS HORRIBLE HERE IN THE STATES !!!

[@Chase-bn9ju]

I agree on the tipping 100 percent

[@maxracingteam23]

I always use howes anti gel when the temp gets to 10°F or COLDER. I don’t want to take any chances.

[@johnaitken6899]

Don’t forget to ask for a tip when they unload your trailer.

[@troym1376]

My personal feeling is if I want to tip I do. If the service is sub-par no way! I went to an establishment and when cashing out I was asked where's the tip? Really!? I don't return to places like that.

[@tanyabrown5760]

Asking for tips is wrong! I work at a Tim’s and no way do I expect a tip! It’s ridiculous now a days

[@jacobravenwood7968]

Feeling obligated to tip at a convinence store must be a Canadian thing because I have never felt bad hitting the no tip button on the machine. However, if I am at a restaurant. and the service was good or above average then I would give a larger tip. However, I do also agree with you that a restaurant should never force you to tip. But thats in the U.S. and that's the way I was taught growing up to deal with tipping. 😊

[@t-roy1864]

Tipping has gotten a little out of hand. So bad that I went to a hardware store, paid with a credit card, and when I went to sign it there was a line that stated "Tip".... Are you serious. Tip automatically added to my bill is always the worst service you can get, why not, they don't have to work for it or keep your drinks filled because they still get their tip 🤷🏼‍♂️ People will tell you they only make a couple of bucks an hour so they need their tips. Not any more. I went to BK and the new guy, 1st day on the job started at $12 an hour. Don't get me wrong, I tip and I tip good, anywhere from 30 to 70 percent but that's my option, not theirs.

[@jamesparker29475]

You are right about the tipping 😅😅😅

[@belabahn]

3:39 - I heard that tipping in the US is (almost) mandatory. They should have state-level (or national) industry-rules about a correct living wage for restaurant workers. In Europe (Germany, Northern Ireland or Hungary) it's different /and I think this is the correct way/. A Tip, das Trinkgeld [lit: drink(ing) money] or the Borravaló [money for (the server to buy his/her own) wine] is only a courtesy. If you (the guest) are satisfied with the work of the waiter/ server/ bartender, you should give a tip. It's amount is usually 10%. There are some newer /frequented/ places, where the servicing fee is already calculated into the bill. If I'm eating there I don't tip, unless the food or service was exceptional.

[@howardlem5374]

My 2 bit worth...I'll agree with you, the tip is for very good or exceptional service! But just filling up the coffee cup to go isn't worthy of a tip. I might tip if I ordered a customized Latte & they took time to get it right. If I get table service, I will tip unless they were completely inept.

[@g3gg634]

I agree with you 100% Josh.

[@g3gg634]

Tips have always been an incentive to work harder!

[@truckingwithjr]

I’m with u on tipping, it seems everyone wants a tip and u have done all the work. Love ur videos keep up the good work and stay safe

[@maxracingteam23]

I think you should just re rail your semi when the time comes. Yes expensive. But your frame will be one piece and all new.

[@DCU963]

Here is a tip, don't tip them.

[@gordon8797]

as soon as a machine asks me to tip I won't.

[@solodzghost5036]

i agree with you about the tipping situation

[@chandyskariah8284]

Well said

[@MichaelW969]

I never tip for carryout. Don't feel bad.

[@wicksfarm4895]

tip if you get service but tip on 2$ 15% is 30 cents. I guess there gone like Quebec they tax the tip of the worker no matter what. Too bad you are not closer to me i would stretch your truck for pretty much nothing. I stretch and shorted about 45 or 46 of them, drive safe

[@Natebry]

I was a waiter for 5 years and during that time I definitely felt that tipping was necessary. But now I think they should just raise the price of the food. We as the customer are paying anyway when we tip

[@richardthomas1743]

Hello Josh! Thumbs UP man!
