Hass,

Interesting.

It's just that giving just $1 comes off as chintzy, $2 seems right, and if you are tipping for the other guy you just give him a $5 for both people.

The reason I'm not surprised that the club could never make up for it is these guys can make pretty damned good money if every group is giving them ~$5 (assuming there's two guys, one for each cart) and groups are coming in every 8-10 minutes, even more if it is a multi-course facility. Let's say it's only every 15 minutes instead. The guys are still making $20/hr plus what the course pays them. That's damned good for what they do IMO, and who knows if they report any of it.

Are you at liberty to say which club it was here? Estancia or something at that level?

Also, "lonely" is misspelled in your Loc:, FYI.

You are right about the guys making $20/hour which is why people quit so fast when they find out they are getting $10 and not able to recieve tips. Also, this is the reason why $2-3 is plenty to tip. If everyone would tip $2 they would make a killing, but a lot of people won't tip anything or maybe $2 a group. I have seen many people hand an employee $2 and tell the rest of their group not to tip because "they got it." This was Desert Highlands in Scottsdale btw.

I'm sure tips get reported as much as home poker winnings get reported for taxes.

Oh and I'm a horribe speller, thnks.......Went to ASU so....ya know.

EDIT: spelling, lol
