Quote from: BruceTruMusicFan on December 16, 2023, 11:05:06 AMI wonder what came first - the entitled black customers or the demanding rules? I think many Black people go into business not necessarily to provide great service or offer an amazing product, but rather to gain freedom from corporate America. Because of this, they have very little patience with customers, as it feels like they are back to being someone's employee. They don't improve because they don't value feedback and opinions. How many black-owned businesses do you see responding on Google or Yelp?

Now, about black consumers. I work in travel, and my business slowed down greatly at the beginning of the pandemic. I started driving for DoorDash on the side. The first thing I learned was how cheap and entitled black customers can be. I hated to admit that these stereotypes were true. Every time there were special instructions and no tip, they were black. The black people who tipped were around 20 percent, and even then, it was in small amounts. I have spent my entire life arguing that black people not tipping is not true, but sadly, it is.
i definitely tip and even advocate for servers/drivers .. encouraging others to do it.

But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't battling with the gorls about tipping. I've had so many debates about this topic on here.

But is the whole "I ain't tippin them shit" thing is exclusively a black thing?

Im sure there are plenty of nonblack people who don't believe in it

Significant Discovery: First known Black American family of Kalmyk descent

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated to be only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

There are plenty of non-blacks that don't tip.  Go to forums on cruising and read how many people that go the the Customer Service Desk on the first day to turn off the optional gratuity charge for the staff.  :ATLcameo:
