Giving tips or taking tips is good or bad, is it same as giving and receiving bribe?

Answer 1

I have been a waitress and if I treat my customers with kind consideration, I deserve a tip. They usually don't pay diddly-squat for wages, so the tip is what makes the job worthwhile. Besides the extreme pleasure of gratifying total strangers just because it is so humanitarian.

Answer 2

Tipping is a form of payment for services. Unfortunately some services are not paid well and depend on the tips that they receive for the work they perform. There are rules for tipping, approximate amounts for good service. I find if someone is giving me good to excellent serivice I tip very well. If the service is poor then I tip poorly to show my dissatisfaction.

Now bribes are something entirely different. A bribe is a payment to someone to ensure a behavior that is usually illegal. You are asking someone to do something that is not acceptable in some way. Accepting a bribe is as illegal as the person giving the bribe.

Answer 3

Tips are a reward, or pay, over and above the normal fee, for doing a good job AFTER the job is done. A bonus at work is usually the same thing. A bribe is given BEFORE the job is done in order to obtain a desired result, or influence the one taking the bribe. Bribery is manipulative, tips and bonuses are incentives for future good work. Rewarding your child for something already done is good to do, while bribing a child for a desired future behavior or action is not so good. The difference is motive, and is therefore dependent upon the heart of a person.

Answer 4

Tips given to people who perform a service for you are commissions, not bribes or "sops"-- (man, that word makes me feel old).

Look at the way a restaurant waitress or waiter gets paid: they get a very small hourly salary, and make their wage from commissions paid by satisfied clients. The waitperson is a sales person for the restaurant. That's the way many other sales persons make their living-- the insurance agent, the car salesman, the real estate agent, and many more. All by some form of a commission.

So-- consider the service, and pony up the appropriate tip/commission so the server can pay the rent and feed the babies. It is just an undeclared part of the price of the service.

Answer 5

No, I don't think it is the same thing. In Europe, people generally tip, or tip extra-well for good or exceptional service, it's a bonus, and happens after you have been served. A bribe would be if you tried to give someone money first, to treat you better than someone else, or to overlook your bad behaviour towards them.

In the US, you should always tip; the servers need the money, it is often their only real income. My aunt reckons that if you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out.

I feel it is a way of acknowledging that you have no automatic right to special treatment unless you are pleasant to people.

It's a very democratic way of saying "Sorry you are not invited to join us here, and thank you for looking after us so well."

People who don't tip can be very charming, but I still feel they are very mean and elitist, and it is an ignorant way to behave.

Answer 6

Tipping Very Good. The wages paid to a person who also receives tips are usually very low. That motivates them to be extra attentive and helpful. Here in Las Vegas service is the first consideration in most businesses and those that work here largely depend on tips to meet their needs. On the receiving side, where else can one bring in $300-$1000+ per night at a $5.15/hr job.

Answer 7

Tips are good. They are given as an act of gratitude for a job well done. Bribes are bad. They are given as an act of desperation by someone who is willing to do or give anything to have their way. Even if it does mean bribing, lying, cheating, stealing, or worse.

Answer 8

Tip- show of gratitude for excellent service. This is a bonus for doing something expectional.

Bribe- promise to benefit in exchange for service. This is you do this for me, and I will do that for you.

Tipping is a way to say thank you. Bribing is a form of manipulation.

Answer 9

no!! a bribe is to keep quiet or to give information or to accept money in return for preferenatial treatment.

a tip is a financial reward for providing a service

you tip the taxi driver for getting u to the airport in time

or you bribe the driver to reveal who he dropped at the airport

Answer 10

"Tip" employees, like waitresses receive very little money from the employer. Minimum wage requirements do not apply, so they need tips to be able to support themselves and a family. Tips also help keep prices low, since the restraint doesn't have to pay much money to the employees. Without tips the restraint would need to pay higher wages so prices would be higher.
