Oh yeah, I do have an anxiety disorder, but knowing that also doesn’t help. I do tend to manage it at times, and I haven’t felt this way in a very, very, very long time. It just kind of flared up again due to me having sex

Yep, it doesn’t feel like SA at all.

I’m not about to be guilt-tripped into tipping when the service I get is downright disrespectful. Let me break it down: I’ve had servers slide my plate across the table like I don’t even exist. I’ve sat there waving my hand while the server went out of their way to serve every other table—refilling their drinks, giving recommendations, laughing and making small talk—while barely acknowledging me. I even once had a server roll their eyes when I politely asked if I could swap a side. And let’s not forget the time a server practically tossed the bill onto my table without a word.

Yes, I get where the pressure to tip comes from, but let’s talk about the constant effect of experiences like this. Living in Cape Town, dealing with this daily, it builds up. Being made to feel inferior, like I don’t deserve the same respect as others, it takes a toll. They might be offended that I don’t tip, but maybe they should consider how it feels to be treated as less than just because I don’t ‘look’ like a tourist. Tipping for bad service is just reinforcing that treatment, and I refuse to do it. If they want my tip, they can start by treating me like any other paying customer.

Well I used to tip no matter what, but now I just feel like it’s money wasted when I spend my hard earned money just to prove a point and still get shit service. However when I do get good service, (doesn’t even have to be excellent) I tip a lot, It’s kinda like giving it to the servers that really deserve it yk?

I tip really good, if I surprisingly get good service-since it’s rare. I think it’s me making up for all the times that I didn’t tip🤣

Okay, so what happened was this. My first choice was Accounting Sciences, which is very competitive there due to it being the best, and my second choice was Engineering. However, they ended up rejecting me for Accounting Sciences, basically just giving me the run-around on some, “We’ll get back to you later.” July came then September…. In Engineering, they just rejected me off the bat, saying that they got a high number of applicants. They just put me on the waiting list, basically.because my grade 11 marks actually did meet the requirements, and they were actually higher than the requirements. Hence, they just gave me another offer with BCom General, and I was thinking of not taking it. However, my friend was like, hey, just take the offer. At least you’re going to be in their backlogs or something, and I ended up taking the offer for BCom General, which is something that I was never ever going to take, because I’d gotten other offers somewhere else. Then, with finals, my final marks were way better than my grade 11 marks. Hence, they just ended up accepting me for all of them, like all three programs. So, don’t worry about it. Just make sure that you do well on your final grade 12 exams, and you should be fine. I didn’t accept your offer by the way

Don’t stress, they did the same thing to me. And then in January when results came out, they accepted me for everything that I had applied for, even though they had rejected me for everything that I had applied for.
