i need to find a way to ask for a tip without outright saying it. Or using a different word.?

Question

i deliver the newspaper and put christmas cards in the papers around thanksgiving, with my address. I figured i'd get a jump on them since I have 350 to fill out.

Answer 1

these guys are right - it's rude to ask for a tip. If these folk deem you be deserving of one, they'll give you one. I don't think it's right you ask them - you're already being PAID for providing a SERVICE, regardless of how many you deliver. I know barstaff get tips, but I'm sure that stems from people being drunk and merry and over-generous. We don't tip shop assistants do we? Even when they bend over backwards to help.
Sorry.

Answer 2

I'm not sure there is a polite way to ask for a tip. People will see through any kind of indirect way you try to do this, and this might have a counterproductive effect. In other words, people might be so insulted by your brazen expectation of a tip that they will purposely not give you one. Stick with good service and the tips will take care of themselves, however that turns out.

Answer 3

Would you prefer a gratuity be added to your check? If they say no... fine, at least you have reminded them that you are accustomed to getting one. Even if they say no, there might be a tip left on the table or where ever one is left in your business. You didn't say if you were a server, hairdresser, or what.

Answer 4

You're a little vague on the circumstance, but I'll try to help the best that I can!

Say, "Hey, do you have any tips?" (The word "advice can be interchangeable with "tips".)
OR
"I'm a little unsure about (insert thing you need a tip on); do you think you can help me out?"

Try something like that. Hope it helps!

Answer 5

I'm sorry, but it's never okay to ask for a tip (no matter what word or phrase you substitute for "tip").

Answer 6

This really depends on the situation. Please provide more info, ie. what line of work, why you think you deserve a tip...
