It's plain and simple. If you have to say you're a big tipper, chances are, you're probably not a big tipper.
It's like when your friend says that she hates drama, but then ends up being a dramatic bitch. Or when your significant other swears he/she isn't crazy, but then ends up being a psychotic, overwhelming, murderous, whirlwind of crazy.
We're used to these situations because we always fall into them. We expect the best out of people.
It's a solid approach. If someone meets you for the first time, you have the ability to make them believe anything you want to about yourself. For instance: When I walk up to your table you would think I'm a friendly, happy, caring, sweet girl. Little do you know...
But fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Now take note, because what I'm about to tell you works in every aspect of life, and you can take certain precautions to make sure you are not being fooled.
What I've learned, is that if you have to emphasize something about yourself to another person, then that person is probably doubting you for obvious reasons, and you're probably not what you say are. And when you emphasize that special trait, that you swear you have, chances are, the other person will believe you.
The difference between me tricking you into thinking I'm angelic, and you tricking me into thinking you're a big tipper, is that my trickery makes your night better. Your trickery makes my night infuriating. You're causing emotional harm. That's cruel.
This is wrong and immoral.
Don't be that person.
