Tips

[Asosbabe]

Gave a tip New Year's Eve. Brother in law was really angry. Surely its OK especially this time over year

Eh? Do you mean a tip in a bar/restaurant? Or a random tip to him about some aspect of life?

Was it 'never eat yellow snow'?

Always relevant, I feel.

If it’s your money and you’re the one giving the tip what’s it got to do with your BIL?

What now?

Delivery driver

Huh?

My money, not his, not life changing amount!!!

He’s really odd to be “really angry” with you about a tip, especially nine days on. Unless you gave the delivery driver 500 quid or something. Sounds mean-spirited and tight to me. We usually give the delivery driver a pound or two.

I suspect it’s your unique communication style that actually pissed him off.

What now? As at who gives a ... ?

What was wrong with my communicating style?

Why does he know or care?

"Surely its OK especially this time over year"

"As at who gives a ... ?"

Is that really bad then? I knew I wasn't the greatest communicator but this could explain a thing or two! I'm that bad on the communicating?

You’re being vague OP, yes. It wasn’t exactly clear what you were asking in your first post.
How big a tip did you give the delivery driver? How did your BIL find out? Why was he so angry?

£5 tip for delivery meal for twelve people. I thought that was OK. He's very rich and on most things very generous. Just was cross over giving a tip to a delivery driver

We almost always tip for meals out, and at Christmas the postie, bin man, grocery delivery man and our regular courier man get tips in a small card.

Yes, of course you should tip the delivery driver and a fiver is a pretty normal amount. If your BIL has a problem with that he’s a tight arse. And also a weirdo. HTH.

He's rolling in it and very generous on everything except tips.

Your BIL is a Muppet. Rich and tight. What a shocker.

Edit: if he’s still going on about it nine days later that’s just odd. Don’t mention tips in future.

Just think tips is an easy way to spread it around if you have it

So you tipped a delivery driver with your own money, 10 days ago.

Why are you giving your BIL's opinion a second thought?

He's not going on nine days later to be fair. It's me thinking about it nine days later why such an issue? Issue stopped with him one day later to be fair but interested to know if I'm out of touch on tipping

A fiver is a generous tip for a delivery, but a nice gesture on a night such as New Year’s Eve. There’s not much more to say.

A fiver’s not much on a meal for 12 on NYE
