Answer 1

development muscles like those gymnasts....

Answer 2

Being nice, friendly (but not OVERLY friendly), polite, and efficient is a good way to earn tips in any business. Remembering to respect their vehicles and other property will go a long way, too.  

Answer 3

remember their names is a big yes. develop ur own style of making them feel important. notice anything new or changed if they are regulars. be descrete when they make big oopsies.  

Answer 4

Don't ask any bums that are hanging around if they got any spare change, lol

Answer 5

Best tip ever:  Buy low, sell high

Answer 6

Stand their expecting a tip. (They'll feel awkward if they don't tip). The waitress where I work does this & it really helps. She'll stand there after she gives guys their change. Some guys don't realize at first, but then figure it out & give her a tip.

Slip it in as a joke. When we had a special at my work, for example, some people exclaimed that the prices were almost too low. I said, O good, now you have plenty extra to tip! ha ha. I said it in a way that everyone laughed & saw it as a joke, but it did help.

Make people feel like a million bucks, kiss ***, compliment, especially the women.

Friendly flirtation would really help. Compliment their appearance/clothing - that dress is so flattering on you! I bet you make all the heads turn & stare! That shirt really makes your blue eyes pop, although I bet you know that & did it on purpose to make the guys drool!

Even if the lady could be your grandmother, make her feel like a beauty contest winner, like she's special.

Also, act really gracious for every tip you get to make them feel like they're so helpful & such good people, give them an ego boost. Someone will be more likely to tip again if they think it's appreciated, & if you make them feel good about themselves (selfish reasons are behind every action, even charity donations are really given to make someone feel like a good person).

Compliment! Boost someone's ego/make them feel good about yourself & make their day better, they'll remember you & be more likely to tip. . .

Answer 7

Just do your job well and try and get their names.
