    If tips these days are mandatory, it is still false advertisement to say FREE delivery.

    aries – BTW I did tip him, I don’t know why you are assuming I didn’t – I was just worked up that he had the audacity to pretty much ASK for a tip. Now regarding if you say that tips are mandatory these days, I have no problem with it just stores should NOT advertise FREE delivery when its NOT. They should say delivery with tip. I don’t call something free if you are paying from the left pocket instead of the right pocket!

    oomis – I did not say tips should not be given, all im saying is that they are 100% optional, and one cannot expect it. This that they rely on my tip does not in any way make it more of an achrayis on my part to give them.

    baruch bohm – A tip is optional, the definition is an extra payment of gruatitude. Now this means that its up to me to decide whether or not I would like to give him an extra payment. Thus being – A) He cannot expect it – why, because I do not owe it to him. The same way when you buy a lottery you dont expect to recive the jackbot, rather you would like to recive it. B) He cannot have a grudge, or in any way look down on those who do not tip him. why, because they do not owe it to him, its up to them if they want to give him a extra payment for his service. C) This that he took his job with the assumption that people will tip him does not make that people have to tip him. If he is not happy that someone does not tip him than its not the non tippers fault , rather its the delivery boys wrong assumption. D) And no it is not a chillul hashem if a yid does not tip him, why? because that is the definition of tip OPTIONAL.

    elik – What does affording to order have to do with giving him a tip? Why just because I shouldn’t go hungry do I have to give him a tip? Please explain your connection! And besides I am not his employer, he is employed by the restaurant, and the owner pays him, when its FREE delivery it means – that i do NOT have to pay for deliver, rather the owner will pay the delivery boy!

    aries – Yes its totaly wrong, and they definetly have to ask every person on line. The reason why people might tend to do only ask the person they know, is because they would realy cut to the begining, just its uncomfortable to simply cut ahead of somone they dont know, however if they do know somone ahead of them its just not uncomfortable. But yes its totaly wrong.

    aries – Sounds fair, of course we should not fool anyone by shocking them with a full wagon. I was just wondering because once when I did it (with a few items) a lady started screaming at me for doing it, how its not fair, not yashrus, im a big michutzef… I thought she was off the wall!

    aries – I am not arguing with you whether there is a problem with kids/adults getting drunk for no reason. All my point is, that not allowing kids to have wine at kiddush, or not allowing bouchrim from have a lchaim at the seudah, is not what will prevent them from going free on thier own. I dont think these few kids that go on their own and intoxicate themselves is because thier parents let the have a spoonful of wine by kiddush, cause if that was the cause you would have a lot more. And what makes you think that by not allowing them to have wine at kiddush will stop them from sneaking? I strongly think that these kids would go on thier own regardless of what they were taught. This that I brought in the fact that my father is a hatzolh member is just to point out that even though he has gone on pently of such calls , It didnt change the fact that he allowed us to have wine by kiddush, and a lchaim. Why, because he taught us when, and how alchohal should be used.

    aries – When I grew up I was taught the chasivus of wine and shnaps, I was taught how its only for kiddush and lchaim, Yes – the wine bottle stayed on the table the entire seudah, and was only used for kiddush, a lchaim, and bentching. No one helped themselves to it without the parents aknowledment. Why? Because thats what we were taught, I am I a an alcohalic because my parents let me have controlled amounts? no i am not. There is no reason why children would not listen to this rather than any other thing that they are mechanech them about. Are the kids going to turn on a light on shabbos behind thier parents back? No, why because the parents taught them not to, and kids listen to thier parents. So if the parents teach thier kids when amd how alchohol is supposed to be consumed than they will listten. (obviously we are not taliing about rebelious kids that dont listen anyways.) where as if the parents shelter their kids from any alcholoic everages, how are the kids when they grow older know the reponsibilities of when and how much should be drunken.

    I do not know of any parent that dont let thier kids have ANY alchohol. Do you not let your kids have some kiddush wine? Do you not let your kids have a l’chaim? Do you not let your kids drink some beer whe by a sholom zochor per se? you mean that all parents that let thier kids have controlled amount of alcholol are being Irresposible? I disagree bigtime. I think that It is the only way how to teach your kids the reponsibility of alcholol is with you controling it age wise. For example when under bar mitzvah maybe only wwine, over bar mitzvah shnaps… Otherwise if we totaly ban alchohol from our kids then they will just go behind our backs, and they wont know the limit, however by teaching them the limit it will be a worthwhile invesment.

    Yes, I would like to know what you say about parents serving alchohol to thier kids. The resaom why I ask is because your making it sound like a rebbi has no heter, and according to that I dont see why a parent should be any different?
