This is nothing but a personal attack, and once again I have reported you. I thought we had settled our differences civily but obviously you can't let it go.

At least my posts have been on topic. All you have done is attack me personally. You have also done nothing but slay racist remarks by assuming that most people who drive a taxi must be foreigners who don't speak english and only those who are white are deserving of your hard earned tip.

Never said any of what you posted above

. Re-read my posts again.

I certainly have no earthly idea where you find an attack in there.

Calling someone a dog is a personal attack

I went back and reread my posts to you and on this thread in general and I don't see me calling you a dog anywhere.

One: I never said you are cheap.
Two: I was expanding on your logic about tipping.
Three: I don't carry mega bags, and, we always rent a smart cart
to get the bags to the rental car.
Four: re: sleeping dogs lie, sure, you can go to sleep now.

right here in your Point 4.

forget about it gail, you are just a mean spiteful old lady who can't admit when you are wrong.

Wow, you don't see how this is a personal attack? Sad.


I tip according to service. I never go by a set percentage. If the driver is personable and makes me smile, helps with the bags, is on time, etc, I give a larger tip. It's not up to me to help him pay his bills if his company doesn't pay him well. It seems that the whole meaning of tips has changed. A tip is supposed to be a little (or a lot) something extra for a job well done.

"what does the disney cruise line have to do with tipping the Mears shuttle driver??????"

This goes back to your comment about paying the shuttle/town car companies to get you to your destination and how you don't believe in tipping extra for that.

If you take a cruise on DCL you are already paying them to have your meals served to you and your stateroom cleaned. Using your logic you would not have to tip anyone anything so they would not receive anything from you.

My post was a comment on your tipping strategy.

ripleysmom, I am not going to get in a tipping arguement with you. I am a generous tipper for services performed well. I tip housekeeping daily in a hotel and I tip 15-25% of a dining bill based on quality of service. the original poster asked how to tip a shuttle driver and i gave my opinion with the logic behind it. If you would like to start a new thread about how to tip on cruises I am sure you will get many opinions in that arena. I do not tip based on "aww the poor guy has a family to feed so let me subsidize him" mentality. If that same arguement held true then a coworker who does the same job as me should be paid more because he has kids and a family to care for????

No, actually I don't, but, if it is construted as one then I do apologize, what was meant was I am done debating with her.
She can go back to her corner and I will go back to mine.
Sad, no, cannot find something that does not exist.

As to your tipping, I totally agree with you. It is not up to you to pay his/her bills and it is not your problem if this is the industry he/she is making a living at.
TIPS = To Insure Prompt Service. They used to be paid at the beginning of any service, that is how you got the attention of the server.
I generally go with a percentage, much easier for me to calculate.

For Mears, I think what princess tips is adequate, when you do the calculations it is a decent tip. If I were to use Mears, which I would not, I might be inclined to tip more. But, that is just me.

This quote above has to be the most "classless" post I have seen in my 2 years on the DIS. The only person(prncess) making "personal attacks" on this thread has just been put on my ignore list.

Okay everyone, the post has gone too far off topic and has been locked.
