I guess tipping any and every kind of worker is worth it, huh?

Well, according to a TikTokker named Jennifer, it is!

She posted a video on TikTok and showed viewers how she managed to get some money knocked off her bill after she tipped her mechanic with goodies.

Jennifer walked into the auto shop in her video and asked, “You’re the one working on my alignment?”

After the mechanic said yes, she handed him a plastic bag.

In the video’s text overlay, Jennifer wrote, “Tipping etiquette for getting your car serviced is going to the gas station next door to get the guys some Gatorade & snacks.”

In the caption, Jennifer wrote, “I got a discount.”

Well, it looks like this tactic works…

It looks like we’re gonna have to start tipping our mechanics from now on…
