How many Jewish elephants are there in Prospect Park that this is someone's regular gig? :elephant:

[quote="Sadarami"]forget the mohel, the guy at the zoo who circumcises the elephants really makes out, granted he doesn't get much of a salary, but the tips are huge[/quote

Does he charge by the yard ?

So should tipping also be contingent on how much the person makes? If so, then the tip is no longer a reward system, but really a socialist tool to help subsidize the income of the worker. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, but when I give someone money, I like to know why.

this the most intelligent post so far on this subject... and btw, its got to be a dollar to be called a tip.
