If I quit my job and start searching for jobs that provide service to rich people, do I get more money as “tips”?
Just a plain example: If you clean in a 3* Hotel rooms you might find people tiping you about 5-10$/€ or whatever currency the country you work in has.
If I instead now work in hotels for royals, do they tip like 1000$/€,… because its nothing to them anyways?
Both seems kind of weird to me. If I were to have 50+ Million € on my account and earn X million € a year, would I still tip only 5 € to people who clean my hotel room or would I tip 1000 €? I’d somehow feel like I’d just tip a 1000 € anyways if I’d have that much money. Like what would I care.
On the other side tipping a thousand € would be weird to, because if that would be the case wouldn’t everyone just work for the rich?
I noticed it myself though, the more wealthy I got the more money I “gave” to people for services. I remember backpacking through Thailand about 15 years ago as a poor student. I was like looking for the cheapest tuktuk driver, even if it was only a dollar less than the other tuktuk driver offered. Now if I go to Thailand I just throw them 5 € in the pocket and move on with my day cause I don’t feel like talking about how much a ride would cost they can use the money to buy a snack after it and I make them happy.
At the same time if everyone would do this wouldn’t the Thais start working for tourism only and abandon other jobs?
This topic has kind of 2 questions. Because if you tip to much you kill other jobs at the same time. You can’t go to lets say Tansania and tip the luggage carriers 10 $ per luggage because sooner or later all the rangers in national parks would quit the jobs and go carry luggage around cause of more money. You know what I mean?
But I still have a weird feeling abut this topic. I would find it disrespectful if I would tip 5 € to room service if I were Taylor Swift. Do they tip at all? Tell me they tip. And if yes, do they only tip 5 €? That has to be weird to them. Do they even have 5 $ banknotes in the pocket lol.
Interesting. I never worked for rich.
But I was just assuming based on my own personality that I seem to give more back to society now than I did a decade ago because of how good my income now is.
I never really supported local events (charity) but now I do.
