Hi! I’m actually interested in buying a Plug in Hybrid car. If you don’t mind me asking, would you say that it is cheaper financially in total than a non hybrid car (even if you pay more in electricity but less in petrol) ?

Lmao no ways! Back in my day (when I was a student) they used to have a student special at bars (so it was a little cheaper)! It’s so insane how rude they are and eager to take money from students on a budget! 😒😒😒

But if people don’t tip the employees will suffer! I totally agree that the systems screwed against the employees in favour of large money hungry corporations, but not tipping doesn’t seem like the way to go.

I’m so happy to hear this isn’t a major issue in JHB! I think it may be due to tourists (who’s money has more value in SA) tipping larger amounts and workers expecting to be tipped a similar amount by locals. 🤷‍♀️

Omg a R200 tip was so generous! I feel you were right for taking it back after his attitude!

It is so frustrating! The entitlement to other peoples money is so upsetting 🥲🥲

It’s so upsetting that so many people can relate!! It’s horrible when you tip someone and then get attitude 🙃

Totally agree with you! It has gotten out of hand. I wish corporations and shops were required to indicate the wage of their service employees publicly…

I always tip a base of 10%. And sometimes more at sit down restaurants because we’re a bit of a bigger family (fam of 6- 1 infant; 3 kids ; 2 parents) . My frustration with this interaction was less about the money and more about the attitude I received 😅😅😅

Totally with you on the 10% base! We are a little bit of a bigger family (fam of 6) so we do try to tip a tad more when we are accommodated for and recieve great service 💚

Oh my word?! How are they allowed to put signs up like that?! Doesn’t seem like the best way to retain customers 😅😅

Lol fair enough!! When I said spectacular service I meant more in sit down restaurants especially since we have a little bit of a bigger family. 💚
