As someone who worked as a receptionist at 2 gyms for 3 years.
FUCKING TIP PLEASE.
theres a reason we give you those shitty looks as you leave the gym.

>this thread
>not tipping the receptionist

Chivalry is truly dead

>his gym doesn't have dyels constantly cleaning

German here, why the fuck would I tip anyone at the gym? That ain't no fuckin restaurant. I seriously don't understand.

Nice bait.

Fucking samefags

If I remember rightly it started back in the great depression as a way to help waiters and such along. Obviously it's carried on still, but now instead of being grateful for the tip the cunts all act as if they're entitled to your pocket change. I might be wrong though.

Theres a tip jar on the counter of my gym, but I see most people just handing their tip to the receptionists.

Dont you tip people because their minimum wage sucks ass? Must suck living in a 3rd world country user.

>tfw the gym maids haven't cleaned the bar so you have to spend the entire workout doing power cleans

>Doin' muh bench press
>lanky dude comes and takes weights off the back of the bench while i'm mid rep
>shout out "do you mind"
>has the audacity to talk back, like "i'm not even in your way"
>rerack and say "yes you are, can't you wait even ten seconds?"
>he mumbles something and walks off
>say "what was that?" to his back but he doesn't turn around
>we are no longer on each other's christmas card list

>why did >you put so >many fucking >arrows?

>tip her a bit extra this time
is this an actual thing in America or just a troll?

My parents worked in the service industry (yeah, poor fag) but I still wouldn't tip anyone who doesn't provide individual service.

Maybe I'd give $2-4 dollars if someone there was constantly spotting me, loading/unloading weights, fetching dumbbells, refilling my water, wiping my sweat off equipment, and giving motivational speeches.

Golem get ye gone

And that is?

eh it depends, I've worked in shitty restaurants and nice restaurants, the shittier the restaurant the higher the pay was because they know less affluent people come and are likely to be tipped less. The nicer the restaurant the lower the base pay but I would make more money because rich people see tipping well as a sign of power and don't want to be looked down upon by their peers. As a bartender I'll have nights where I bring home 500 cash just from tips.

>pajeet cuts in front of you at check in

>guy wipes down machine seat first

No, it's actually a custom from the early 19th century imported by wealthy European tourists who did it to show off their wealth. It never went away for some reason.

Listen up bud, try not tipping the receptionist and see what happens.

Oh, guess I read some bullshit then. Thanks for clearing it up.

sometimes when i see people doing that i just want to kick them over. I'm not gonna run because based on that exercise you are extremely out of shape. I'll just turn around while you try to crawl with your weak noodly arms.

dude... it's okay as long as you have your squat plug you'll make it.

Good job

>German
Not really surprised you can't comprehend basic humor

kek

Jesus Christ some of you people are fucking retarded.

9/10 post I enjoyed it user
I hope you have a good day

Doing bench press 1,5 plate. No spotter so I added two small 5 kilos after first set. I turn around and sit on the bench after second set looking left. Start second set first push and my right hand goes up easily while left struggles. Totally confused thought that I must had a stroke or I fucked up a tenont or the muscle of the left arm ripped, although no pain. Stopped reps getting up I finally solved the mystery, a crazy middle aged woman took the 5 kilos from the right side while on the bar between sets.

obvious bait

Kek

GOLEM GET YE GONE

>at the gym
>guy asks for a spot on bench
>help him with the last rep
>just says "thanks" and starts reracking
>doesn't even tip me
wtf?

GOLEM get ye gone

Did you slap her?

Anybody else constantly forgetting to change their plate ordering because of daylight savings time? Almost lost the weight and killed myself earlier this week

GOLEM GET YE GONE

Better to have a home gym so you don't have to tip anymore. I still do so if I end up lifting at a membership gym with as a guest with a friend

>tiping a receptionist

fucking burgers I swear

>actually tipping the receptionist

you beta faggots have to stop with this. I stopped tipping the receptionist after like 3 months of working out and ever since all she does is 'mire

>using one of the benches
>first set of five
>"Hey mate you got many left?"
>"Yeah sorry I just started"
>...
>fucking waits over five mins for me to finish. Just hovering there watching me
Why are people so autistic??

I pay 60 dollars to go to the gym a month. No fucking way i am tipping the receptionist for just scanning my entry card then going back and talking to her coworker about which tyrone she banged the night before.

You'd tip when you spent 60 dollars at a restaurant, wouldn't you? They do more than just scan your membership card anyway. They are not that pleasant to you probably because they know you as that guy that doesn't tip!

I never tip. If I had money to tip I wouldn't be going to Planet Fitness and even if I did, no one at PF has ever earned a tip.

I don't know which one is more obviously bait

>Tipping
I just tell her goodbye and then I fuck off. Simple as that. I already pay 45 dollars a month just to be on the gym.

You pay that much just to be on it? :S How much does it cost to go inside?

Golem get ye gone

I have yet to see them do anything more than scan a card. Not even shitting you. I go to my local ymca. Id tip a waiter cause they serve me personally. I dont sit there and chit chat like a fucking creep with them. I say hi then go straight to working out. And I wipe down all my weights i use myself so no one is cleaning up after me like my parents taught me to. So i see no reason to tip.

You earna wage for a reason. People should stop trying to make a careers out of entry tier fucking jobs.

Enjoy not getting checked in in a timely fashion.

>emotes
>on an imageboard
Kill yourself.

>being an angsty faggot
>being an asshole and not tipping
unless you literally cant afford to eat you should be tipping.

>getting angry over something as insignificant as that
You should kill you'reself before you do something stupid and hurt someone =/

I'm first post guy and I was paying extra attention today
>no ducking tip jar anywhere
>hung out by water fountain and saw 6 people leave without tipping
>have good conversations with receptionist and workers all the time
>never have I ever heard of this being a thing

Maybe different for different states? I live in Northern California

Slippery slope etc.

>Being so much of a cuck you literaly tip everyone you come in contact with.

Do you tip the cashier at your grocery store too? Or do you tip the gas statiok clerk who just say behind a window and watched you pump your own gas? Get that bullshit outta my face.

Hey give the guy a break, maybe he's European or something? I heard they don't really tip over there, they treat their hospitality sector like shit.

>ducking autocorrect

Honestly I feel bad if tipping is a thing and I haven't been doing it, but I haven't seen anything.

>tipping makes you a cuck
enjoy the spit in your food and general disdain from everyone you come in contact with you autist

did you at least tip the water fountain?

Nope i am american and live in the southern hospitality belt but i see no reason in tipping someone who makes $14/hour.

No, we just understand that people get wages here. And that if they want more shit in life they get a proper job.

Tbh I don't blame you considering they asked you DURING your set. That's so impolite

There's no need to get angry, it's not against the law to not tip someone. But just think next time you forget your gym card, padlock (for the locker), towel, etc... they will for sure be a lot more helpful if you have been tipping them, they remember who tips and who doesn't.

you must actually go to a gym of assholes/niggers/poor people. Literally everyone except for this mexican and a group of giant russians tip the receptionist

I tip waiters and delivery drivers and people that deserve it but someone who just scans a membership card and that is all they do. Dont really deserve it in my eyes. You gotta work for it. Dont be such a democrat and expect everyone to just hand you money because you feel like it.

Not just the tip

>yes I fuck water fountains, enjoy my cum in those first sips

>being this anal-annihilated

Just leave faggot, we'll pretend you never even posted.

Tipping a personal trainer is one thing. But a receptionist? Fuck that. They don't even scan our cards. They just stand there as I scan my own card. I tip bartenders, waiters, barbers, and people who pump my gas. But fuck tipping the receptionist.

>be cheapfag with no money for gym membership or equpment
>train with whatever i find useful
>be in subway train doing pullups on the ceiling bars that are for handholding but works good for training
>doing 3xF
>on second set, pumping hard
>some ugly roman beggar comes to me and begs for my money, whining about jesus christus and wanting baguete
>keep pullupping while bert staring at this dirty piece of shit roman beggar that just wont fucking shut up
>on last rep, make loud angry shout of effort while staring at romans soulless eyes, hope it would scare away
>jump down
>nope. fucker still there talking about baguete
>i take 20cents out of my pocket and throw it oit of open doors
>roman gets off to pick miney up and train continues without
>do last set of pullups with piece

>southern hospitality
why do southerners keep pushing this meme? Everyone knows they're just a bunch of redneck inbreds.

>claims southern hospitality
>doesnt even tip his fucking receptionist

The attendants at my gym make $14/hour cause they get hella donations from local businesses. I know it for a fact cause my brother worked there. Also he said no one ever tips so i dont even know what your talking about. So im not gonna tip someone making $14/hour.

>dont be such a democrat
>implying i would ever be a liberal cuckold
>implying you're not just a degenerate nigger that doesnt even tip at his gym

I have never even heard of anyone ever tipping a gym receptionist. My gym gets over three houndred people a day. That would be crazy if everyone tipped them.

Also there are normally 4 of them at the desk at all times so am i supposed to tip all of them?

>Finish workout
>Ring the finish-bell in the middle of the gym
>Everybody claps
>Head to the lockers, tip the maid cleaning it
>Get changed and leave, tip the receptionist
>Walk home, tip streetcleaner on the way
>Stop by the gasstation so I can tip the cashier
>Had to tip their cleaner who was there too
>Police officer stops me on the last bit on my way to home
>Asks me why the fuck I´m dragging a large sack of cash behind me
>Tip him for doing his job
>He asks me if I´m trying to bribe him
>Tip him again because obviously he´s a good cop asking that
>Get shot
>Ended up having to tip the police, his backup and 12 different emergency care workers
>Had to pay 12 000 dollars in medical bills
>My entire dollar bill sack gone and put in debt
>Can't afford to tip the accountant that hands me my crippling debt
>Cant even clap
>Cop and hospital staff beats me up outside for being rude

KEK!

>all of this general butthurt
look, yeah tipping is customary but im assuming some of them just didn't realize it.

just do it from now on and you'll be fine

Don't be ridiculous, you are just tipping the reception staff. They'll make enough to share it. You should however give a tip just for your personal trainer if you have one, as they take care of you personally.

You sound like a cuck for giving money to some woman who literaly just scanned a card for 2 seconds and thats it.

I spend $10 a month on a membership. If I were to tip $1 after each workout my membership cost has just tripled. Fuck that.

jesus, its not that fucking hard. just look for the tip jar or hand it to one of them and say "thank you"
