Tipping cracks me up. I tip for meals. I tip the guy that parks my car. I tip the bartender.
I don’t tip the guy that hands me a cup of coffee, whether they have a green mermaid on their shirt or golden arches. Never have.
For food and drinks I tip if I get table service.
Period.
But, but....
“The old distinction between table service that we tip and counter service that we don’t disappeared 10-20 years ago, says John McCarty, a business professor at The College of New Jersey...”

I’d like to see this clown hand some kid a dollar bill (tip) at Mickey D’s or Subway some time.

Not for me.
Amen. My tipping policy exactly.
What’s with all the tip jars at mom & pop convenience stores and pizza shops/delis too? If they want a “tip” for ringing up my order and handing me the goods over the counter here’s a “tip” for ‘em: just tack on what you think you deserve in tips to the price of the food!
Then I’ll decide if I want to buy your goods based on that price, the REAL price, evidently! Don’t try and guilt me into paying more than your advertised price!
