I’m sure you have had the experience of giving tips or have even been given a tip? How does it feel? Does it feel good or not? Well, what is tipping, in my understanding it’s like giving payment as an act of appreciation for the extra effort you’ve exerted to perform a certain service. And it sounds appealing to us it’s something associated with kindness. Yet, today it is abused. It is not really given anymore by your freewill but it is almost giving by a command. Have you encountered a scenario like this? If so, then how does it feel? It is not anymore a gratuity, it is more on forcing you to give on. Some establishments even discourage giving tips to their employees but somehow step up their game and we appreciate their extra effort. Now let’s tackle the good and bad sides of it.
Tipping is good.
Appreciating an effort is a good sign that you are observing and delighted with their presence. We commonly give tips to our drivers, service crew in a fast food chain and even in malls. Because we’ve clearly seen how they make an extra effort to serve us as best as they could. Even in our home we appreciate our nannies effort on upbringing our children, our maintenance for securing the maintainability of the cleanliness of our house. By giving tips or gift to them they even strive to make their service effectively and efficiently because they know there’s someone who appreciates it. It’s serves as a motivation to continue their hard work. Good sides of giving tip are that it really solidified the bond that would connect us to other people in service industry. It also makes them to appreciate your kindness and you as a whole. But I’m not saying to you just give tips so that other person would appreciate you. I’m just saying good effects of giving tips it a win-win situation. They got the appreciation and you got the respect.
Bad, effects really?
Why tipping has bad sides as well? In service industry we really need another person it may in a massage parlor, food chain, malls or even in our home. Man power is need really in the changes of our lifestyles. How tipping gains its bad effect? As you observe we give tips as a means of gratuity. But now some people in the service industry even ask for it they demand into it. And if they are not given some even curse or worst of all they don’t serve you once you’ve visited them again. Were in fact you already paid to avail all their best services being offered. Always remember giving tip is freewill not demand.
Now that you are aware about its good and bad effect, what would you do? Always remember that giving tip is an act of appreciating an effort but it should be not to by asking it in demand. Tipping tips always put in mind that it’s within you either to give a tip or not.
