Got a bagel this morning and tipped the young gal a buck for my $3 breakfast. Keep on keeping on!
Is tipping getting out of control? Yes! 100x YES!

What if it's a place where you order at the counter, but a server still brings you your food?
But I have to go refill my own drink and put my tray on the trash bin on the way out.
There is a place like this I like to go. I add at most 10%. And frankly I go there less because of it. It’s annoying as F to flash that 20% minimum til when they do next to jack shit.
Link to wear pimple faced johnny handing me my fountain soda is getting the 15-20% I just selected. "If" I were to do it, I'd rather just hand johnny the cash.
Self-checkout machines now ask customers to tip: ‘emotional blackmail’
The self-checkout gratuity option is an example of “tip creep” — a phenomenon that prompts customers to leave higher tips in transactional situations.

As if it wasn't bad enough they want my tip for the guy passing me a donut across the counter, now self-checkout machines are asking for tips too.
Customers at airports, bakeries, coffee shops, and stadiums are now being prompted to leave tips at self-checkout kiosks. Many question where these tips are going, especially with minimal to no employee interaction involved. This practice, often called "tip creep," adds to the growing trend of "tip fatigue" and "tipflation," making consumers feel pressured to tip more frequently and in more diverse situations.
Anyone else notice it's no longer 15%, 18%, 20% custom? Now it's 20%, 25%, 30% custom? Man, employers really want us paying their staff's wages.
Just put no tip if you can't afford it. Not really that hard.Anyone else notice it's no longer 15%, 18%, 20% custom? Now it's 20%, 25%, 30% custom? Man, employers really want us paying their staff's wages.
If you think ability to afford is the point of discussion, you probably shouldn't participate.
This really pisses me off when I am at the counter ordering and get this.Anyone else notice it's no longer 15%, 18%, 20% custom? Now it's 20%, 25%, 30% custom? Man, employers really want us paying their staff's wages.
Should be illegal to prompt for a tip when it’s not table service.
I'm sorry you're poor. Make more money.If you think ability to afford is the point of discussion, you probably shouldn't participate.
My wife yells at me if I don’t tip 20%. 🙄. She is part of the problem.
I don’t mind tipping 20% when the service is good. It shouldn’t be the standard, IMO.
My wife and I stayed at a hotel in Alexandria, VA this weekend and I left a $20 bill for the cleaning staff. I'm at the point in my life where it's not much money to me, but quite a bit to them.
I had one that started at 25%...Anyone else notice it's no longer 15%, 18%, 20% custom? Now it's 20%, 25%, 30% custom? Man, employers really want us paying their staff's wages.
