I have had about the notion of black people do not like to tip waitress, car guards, petrol attendence etc. I over heard again on Metrofm one of the popular Radio station in South Africa making it as a joke. We once engaged in this topic in my maiden year couple of years ago with other group of students. The debate became very nasty or hot there were passing marks along racial line.
Coming back to the issue at hand, before i loose the content of my topic. People called in to express their views about topic and most people who called in were black people, parhaps two or three white and colour. However most black people disagreed with idea describing as the rubbish to discredit black people.
The non- black group agreed with topic and one who refused to identified herself said where she used work black people literally do not tip, even if you have given them a great service they will just say thank and left without tipping you. One gentleman who happened to take his family once a week, was angered with the accusation towards black people.
He said the reason he does not tip simple because the waitress turn to demand the tip and he knows very well that he is not obliged as they get their own salary end o the month. I also disagreed with the whole thing abodaki does not tip, black people do tip, it depends on the person on the day, if is in mood. Off course its bad not to tip the person as it encourage to tip her or him. But its your own call at end of the day.
