People tend to say that African Americans are bad tippers or don't tip well. So I took it upon myself to do an experiment over 4 days at work.

I went on to do other research including finding a study done by a major university that confirmed my findings and what other people also say. It is what it is... some people look for a reason to show how sensitive or ignorant they are.

I'm a full time massage therapist for a very upscale neighborhood. The only 2 times I have ever received less than a $10 dollar tip where two different African Americans that left $0. 

The funny part was they both paid for essential oil upgrades while filling out there paperwork (the base price wasn't stretching there budget if they paid more money then originally planned)  and the one guy was a young successful pastor that travels the US.....

I keep forgetting... there are many fields where gratuity is the norm.

When I was in Scotland several years ago if you tried to tip it was insulting to the employee...

You ever have one of those days. One of those days that are even more fucked up than the others. Days like this reminds me of how much I hate religion. As if I need any more convincing that there is no god.

I'm talking about USA. Not any other country. I don't see how a person doing a great job for their customers is insulting. They got it assbackwards compared to here.
