Tips

i never mix tips with my salary cash,what i decide to do is spend the tip as soon as i get it,at times i accumulate for a week then go do shopping for groceries,if its so much i buy utensils i have wanted to buy or anything that i have been yearning to buy but couldn't do so with my salary,at times i just treat myself to buying luxury food items and treating my family to a good dinner.the best tips i enjoy is during the Christmas season,i once got so much money that i was able to do half my gift shopping with the money.

Wasn't aware of this practice neither. Those people are nice, and I'm sure you're very appreciative. I don't work in a service industry where one gets tips, but if I did, they'll definitely go into savings after I've paid off debts.

Well done on collecting the tips, hope you spent them wisely. When I had a saturday job all the tips went into a tip box and at christmas/easter etc they would get counted out and the money went towards buying our boss and under boss a gift! Plus we also had ot chip it with some money as well. Most unfair.

that is so wonderful and you must be so happy. If I was young and doing a job that gave me tips then I would get out of any debt and then live on my salary and save the tips. It is a good feeling to have a little nest egg tucked away for use in later life - like a deposit on an apartment etc. Save your money and be independant. Good luck and may you earn many more tips. It is certainly an incentive for yhou to be the best employee

Hi if i work were I got tips there still taxes take out if it on the books so sometime the main paycheck might be low the employer has to a estimate of tips some one might make so sometime the worker get a lower pay check at the end of the year the tax refund will be bigger ,now if it off the box i would use it to get clothes I need. ok have a good day.

That's really great. It helped you in a way. I could not contribute much to your discussion as I don't have tips at my work.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well i am happy to know that u have always used the tips given to u in a proper way that speaks about your dedication to your work and your thoughts about the importance of money in one's life. I think u have done a great job of saving those tips due to which u are able to pay off the credit card debts and i think there is lot to learn from u in this regard. Had i been in your place then u would have also done savings initially till i felt that this amount is sufficient to pay off my debts and loans. What say?

That's cool! I would love to work in a hotel too. Actually one of the course intend to take in college was a Hotel and Restaurant Management, but since I'm a little petite person I was not able to pass the height requirements and took up Business Administration instead. If I'm only taller I have pursue that dream job and is probably getting good tips as well. Anyway, I'm happy for you! :)

You're such a lucky one... I wish I have job like yours lol. Well, for now I have no job, I am a mother of two kids and student. I am hoping that time will come, I will receive a good salary.

I am jealous to hear your story. I am a receptionist of a company. never got a tip from the guests, but my salary increased three times. That means my boss approved my hardwork. as a front line employee, everyday i should have a service attitude to everyone. have a nice!
