Tiger Woods is Selected as the Worst Celebrity Tipper, But How Did Michael Jordan Not Make the List?
The Miami New Times has complied a list of the “Cheapest Celebrity Tippers” and Tiger Woods came in at No. 1. LeBron James is on the list, but Tiger’s one of the richest athletes in the world, so he’s garnered all the attention.
It seems like the list is basically a combination of all the other “Cheapest Celebrity Tippers” lists floating around the web, but the strange part is that the notoriously frugal Michael Jordan didn’t make it.
Jordan never tipped anyone in DC when he was with the Wizards, TMZ has called him out, and Wayne Gretzky embarrassed Air Jordan in Vegas once for being a cheapskate.
If anything, Tiger learned how to be frugal from Jordan. It’s probably a Phil Knight NIKE thing. [Miami New Times]

I loved the story of him taking back a $5 tip to a dealer after winning a $1,000 hand because he had remembered he had already tipped her that night.
August 18th, 2011 at 12:42 PM
I hear he tips pretty well at Perkins though.
August 18th, 2011 at 12:49 PM
It’s nice to know some people can’t even eat dinner without paparazzi tracking their every move. Who cares what they do/don’t tip.
August 18th, 2011 at 12:50 PM
phil contrasts quite nicely…quite a few stories about him being ridiculously generous.
also carries over to the course…phil was quite generous giving his scorecard a few extra strokes too.
August 18th, 2011 at 12:50 PM
I think I always overtip. I try so hard to NOT stiff them that sometimes I give too much.
August 18th, 2011 at 12:52 PM
How many of you tip the waitress a little extra simply because she’s hot and/or flirty?
I always think with the wrong head.
August 18th, 2011 at 12:52 PM
If anything, Tiger learned how to be frugal from Jordan.It’s probably a Phil Knight NIKE thing.
or more likely, it’s a product of their competitive nature/up-bringing.
August 18th, 2011 at 12:52 PM
This, and I was never in the service industry in any capacity and am honestly not sure why I overtip. To get less than 15-20%, you basically have to bring over my plate and spit in it as you set it down.
August 18th, 2011 at 12:52 PM
sucker
August 18th, 2011 at 12:53 PM

yeah, the tip of his weener
August 18th, 2011 at 12:54 PM
i tip well always…a small gesture that’s appreciated by the waitstaff. they gotta deal with a ton of bullshit so i try to be as easy to deal with as possible…makes their lives easier and you usually get better service.
August 18th, 2011 at 12:55 PM
How many of you bastards have dropped your phone number on a receipt before leaving with your buddies?

Yeah, I am so over… wait, there’s a whole bunch of these lists around and people actually read them? I am apparently out of step with the world
August 18th, 2011 at 12:55 PM

Used too. I know better now. I shudder to think at the amount of money I’ve thrown away on broads that wouldn’t touch my penis.
August 18th, 2011 at 12:57 PM
Most straight males agree with this.
Never done this though, chicken shit way out. If you think she might be interested just ask for her number, always after you pay the bill though.
August 18th, 2011 at 12:59 PM
This is true. It’s not an absurd amount. Like instead of a $3 tip on a $15 meal, I’ll go $5 or $6. It’s not even that much difference, but for some reason I think it makes me feel better. Life is hard.
August 18th, 2011 at 12:59 PM
Could you imagine fucking up and asking during the meal and she’s like “I got a boyfriend” and then it’s all awkward and downhill from there.
August 18th, 2011 at 12:59 PM
How many of you bastards have dropped your phone number on a receipt before leaving with your buddies?
Back in HS my friends and I used to do this as a joke to unattractive/old waitresses that we knew probably didn’t get any attention. We were assholes.
August 18th, 2011 at 1:01 PM
How many of you bastards have dropped your phone number on a receipt before leaving with your buddies?
Never. I just wait until she reaches for the bill and then I grab her wrist and write it on her arm.
August 18th, 2011 at 1:01 PM
I call bullshit.
August 18th, 2011 at 1:02 PM
Could you imagine fucking up and asking during the meal and she’s like “I got a boyfriend” and then it’s all awkward and downhill from there.
See… I fall into this line of thinking as well… but I think that’s the wrong way to think about it. It’s not fucking up if she says she has a BF. At the very least she’ll take it as a compliment. I wish I though more like this when I’m out in the trenches. I just think it’s creepy to hit on a girl in the grocery store, gym, waitress, etc. that you don’t really know. Hard hurdle to get over.
August 18th, 2011 at 1:02 PM
if you’ve ever worked in the food service industry, you’re a good tipper.
August 18th, 2011 at 1:03 PM
Why bother? Just put her hand down your pants
August 18th, 2011 at 1:04 PM
I usually give hot waitresses my number only after I fuck them. And then I just give them a 900 number
August 18th, 2011 at 1:04 PM
I didn’t look at it from that perspective. I guess I’m too afraid I’ll look like an ass. I manned up a few months ago and asked a cute nurse at work if she wanted to do something sometime, but she said she had a boyfriend. Why the hell is it tough to do this?
August 18th, 2011 at 1:04 PM
Why bother? Just put her hand down your pants
That works, too, but sometimes you are wearing tight pants
August 18th, 2011 at 1:05 PM
You ever take one of those One A Day multivitamins and it goes down your throat sideways and you can just feel it jammed in there for a few minutes? Ughhhh
August 18th, 2011 at 1:06 PM
yep. a girl I know just quit working at a CC he was a member at out in San Diego and said he was quite nice with the tips.
August 18th, 2011 at 1:06 PM
Absolutely. I can relate to everything you say.

Man, the Miami stuff must have taken more wind out of my sails than I even realized. ATL_Badger says something is creepy and I don’t even have the heart to make a sex with dead 2 year olds joke? I’ve changed, man, I’ve changed
August 18th, 2011 at 1:07 PM
No, but I sometimes get fishy burps from my fish oils.
August 18th, 2011 at 1:07 PM
It’s tough when it’s a one off situation like the grocery store, but if you see the same people at the gym/bar all the time it should be a little easier to approach
August 18th, 2011 at 1:07 PM
when I was a waiter in college I had a couple fatties do this to me. did. not. call.
August 18th, 2011 at 1:08 PM
Speaking of Jordan, my buddy used to be a caddy and bartender at Medinah. Said Jordan and Tiger were both good tippers there, but not top level.
August 18th, 2011 at 1:08 PM
Why the hell is it tough to do this?
People hate to be rejected. I’m the same way. I’ve got to look at it as more of a war of attrition. They can’t all say no. (Well, maybe they can, but still). If someone takes a shot at you for “looking like an ass/reject” just shoot back with “at least I had the balls to ask her.” yada yada yada. Easier said than done.
August 18th, 2011 at 1:09 PM
I’m on team 20% plus tipping. If the service blows me away, I’ll easily go into the 25-30% range (very rarely)
August 18th, 2011 at 1:09 PM
Yeah, dude. I’ve had my lustful eye on this chick at the gym for a while now, and we finally talked on Tuesday. I suppose knowing her name, place of work, and types of workout music are more than I did on Monday at the gym. Next step: let’s go out and get drunk and bump uglies.

Was a waiter at a nice lakeside place in Minneapolis summer after my soph year of college, best one I ever got was a creepy 40 something from Michigan writing her number on the tab.

I married my old bartender. Took me like 4 months of interaction every Sunday before I got the nerve to ask her out though.
August 18th, 2011 at 1:15 PM
Seriously, NDub. They’ll give you their number. Especially if you ask before you pay your bill. I didn’t say she’d pick up the phone, though. Or call you back.
You’ve got a 50/50 shot though.

Dont you ever got back just a little too far when brushing your tongue?
August 18th, 2011 at 1:18 PM
BUT, did she tell you that you should’ve asked her out sooner?
Definitely this. I was just worried that she was being nice to me because I came in every Sunday to watch the game and was a good tipper. I was also apparently the last one in the 21-40 age group to ask for her number.
August 18th, 2011 at 1:19 PM

Oh I have. We mock her relentlessly for it.
August 18th, 2011 at 1:19 PM

Maybe once in awhile.. but when she brushes her teeth it’s like a huge deal…. she gags every single time.

Everyone should tip no less than 10 percent, unless it’s by-glass liquor or beer, then drop every other glass. No reason to drop $2 on a $4 beer.

I did in one of the earlier threads where the mint dislike came up. Had an Oreo shake on Saturday night, was awesome.

Mojitos are amazing. Unless the person making it drops too much mint into the thing, making it unbearable.
