Hey all you dancers out there!
How do you acknowledge tips when you receive them? Just curious to know if you send the tipper a tell or what?
My method: Whenever I see a system message for a tip (no matter how big or little)I /shout HUZZAH TO THE TIPPER!!!
It's shamelessly stolen from Rennie Festivals everywhere, but I like it.
It doesn't call out the tipper by name, but it lets them know that I received the tip. That way the patrons who don't tip do get a little guilt heaped on, but can't direct their ire at the person who DID tip.

i have something similar in idea, just different shout
more like /shout Mucho Lovely thanks for The Tip
unless its a friend or someone who was really conversive and nice then i'll be a bit more talkative.

Yeah, I either make a big fuss over the tipper in front of everyone but don't mention the tip... or I say something about "Yay! Thanks for the tip!" but don't name the person usually.
That's just my normal rule of thumb. If I've been talking to the person or know them well enough anyway to think that they'd enjoy letting people know they are a big tipper, I'll go ahead and say something in front of others about it.
I always send people a tell if they get away from me with out being able to do any of the above though.

Maybe it's cheesy, but I like to acknowledge it to the person directly. I either /smile at them, and say "thank you", or I'll send them a tell if there's a lot of spam going on around. I think people like to be appreciated.

I rarely shout out loud about getting a tip. I know I'm almost jealous of the women that are tipped on a regular basis, but my sexy blue twi is ignored
That's why I tend to /thank them in spatial without mentioning the tip, then send them a tell expressing my gratitude. Even if they're standing directly in front of me. I know some people don't enjoy being thrust into the spotlight, so I never force them to interact in spatial. (Unless they've been extremely talkative. Then I'll generally thank themin front of the other patrons, if for nothing more than to show them allhow appreciative I am of kind customers.)

I always send a tell thanking the person who tipped. Don't think too many people on my server are filled with any guilt if someone else tips so I never say anything in spatial about tips. The only exception is if the patron apologizes for the size of the tip in spatial. ThenI usually say something along the lines of "Never, ever apologize for tipping."

Tips ? What is this arcane command you speak of ?
I tend to do a /kow %TT and a quick tell saying Thanks.

If the tipper has mentioned it in spatial then I acknowledge it in spatial. I Always send a private tell thanking them.

I toss out a /grin %TTand a"Thanks for the tip," especially when the tips have been lacking. Ioften follow up with a /tell if its unusually spammy.

I usually just /thank them. I don't like making a huge deal about it because sometimes some people might not like it. There are people out there who don't like being made a fuss over. So, there's definite acknowledgement on my part without singling out somebody for everyone to suddenly pay attention to. hehe. Sometimes if the Cantina is overly spammy or I'm unsure if the tipper saw my thank you I will send them a private tell. Because while I don't want to cause a ruckus over it, I want them to know that 1) I was there to notice being tipped, 2) that I did, in fact, notice the tip, and 3) that I'm grateful for it.

I thank people via /tell when I get a tip. On the other hand, I have been known to say (not shout) "thanks for the tip" out loud, to no one in particular, when I didn't actually get one. I think that's a better way of reminding people they're supposed to tip than spamming "tips and heals appreciated" or whatever.

I always at least /thank or /curtsey to let them know that I got the tip. If it was larger than typical I will either say in spatial, thank you nameofperson or if they ran off before I can, I will send a simple thank you
tell.
