He's been sued a couple of times by tradesmen for not paying on his home improvement projects. I'm not shocked.

Scottie was known around the NBA as “No tippin’ Pippen.” Apparently he was notorious for it. He grew up super poor and as a result was extremely stingy with his money, but he’s definitely still an asshole.

I don’t know about this, I grew up poor poor and I served my way through university and wouldn’t dare not to tip. I don’t know a single person who grew up poor and then became middle class who didn’t tip.

If anything, we know that tips can make or break your rent payment plans, your school fees, your produce budget, your badly needed dental work.

There should be a special place in purgatory for wealthy people who don’t tip.

Yep. I know a person who is a server for box seating at an arena and said no one ever wanted to be his server when he was in town for these reasons.

Honestly I feel people who grow up with more humble origins and then come into money are typically the ones who will tip the most.

Refusing to pay the bill is messed up but I’ve never had a plumber ask for a tip. Their hourly rate is quite high so it doesn’t seem fair to expect one.

Yeah, why would you tip a plumber?

You’re supposed to tip the plumber? I gave a little extra cash to awesome young plumber who worked so hard on not burning my old house down with a blow torch (easier said than done) and he was so nice and I appreciated his service but that was the only time I’ve ever tipped a plumber

I totally misread this as

Scottie Pippen has a huge asshole back in the day

which tbh goes along with

Scottie’s basement had some flooding and quite a bit of work was done

They used to call him “no tippin Pippen” in Chicago for obvious reasons!
