Yes the writer is an idiot little girl. But as long as workers depend on tips, and if their service is satisfactory or better, then nothing wrong with a little generosity. But it has nothing to do with “government” or,”employers”, it has to do with me.
I have no problem with giving a buck or so for picking up a take out pizza, maybe two if it is delivered.
But if someone asked me? Not a chance in hell.
Personally, when I get great service, I tip extravagantly, because I love getting great service.
