LeBoy going smokeless?

Interesting story. Although paying $1.25 for something that costs $1.25, instead of an additional $3.75 doesn’t automatically mean someone is a jerk or a bad tipper.

Paperboys make less than minimum wage. While $3.75 was certainly above and beyond, only paying exactly $1.25 in this particular case did indeed make someone a bad tipper at a minimum, jerk in all likelihood. The cost of delivery was actually a discount off of what it would have cost to pick up the paper at the newsstand.

You'd think, but wealthier people are notoriously bad tippers for the most part. I had a friend who was a paperboy with his route split between the blue collar and the extremely wealthy part of town. Paper was something like $1.25 for the week, of which he kept 28 cents. In the blue collar section of town it was not uncommon for a guy to throw him a five and tell him to keep the change. In the rich section of town every last customer gave him $1.25 and not a penny more.

In Canada people in Newfoundland (one of the poorer provinces) has the highest rate of charitable giving according to Revenue Canada. I think there is something to empathy and knowing something about other peoples' situation that can lead to charity (which is what tipping is). Maybe Canada is different, the numbers of smokers are down to 10-12% of the population. And heavily skewed to not the poor, but the extremely poor. Going out to dinner is a food line-up for a huge chunk of our smokers.

This is great to hear for me! I like LeBoy and it will now be a little better. Frankly there wasn’t that much smoke there anyway but regardless.

I was in FT lauderdale, this past week, I went to Leboy. ended up staying for most of the evening, it was so nice not to have to deal with the smoke , and the smelly clothes,

I also went to Boardwalk was there for just about 1 hour. Smoke was bad, I did not go back
