My buddy does this thing at restaurants where puts a few sugar packets in teh center of the table. He tells the server that this is their tip as of right now. If they do good he adds another suger packet and if they do bad then he removes sugar packets. He tells them that will reflect their tip at the end of the meal.

I don't see the need to give them advance notice that if they do a bad job, then their tip will reflect it. They are adults and they should know this.

I agree. That should be fairly obvious in their line of work.

I always thought that was a douchebag move.

I would probably spit in his food...While he was eating it.

Oh yeah, I would treat him like absolute crap out of principle.

I wouldn't do well with someone essentially saying: Dance Monkey! Dance!!

You need all those things if you want to make any money as a lumberjack.

It takes all kinds of discipline to be in the woods at 5am, ready to cut, with a 20 pound saw for the next 7-8 hours, because you know after 12, the flies and heat are gonna kill you. Lazy people dont make good lumberjacks.
