Tipping has gotten crazy. I’m tired of being asked to tip every place I go.

When I was in high school and worked part-time at KFC (we all had part-time jobs back then and still managed school and extra-curricular activities), we were strictly forbidden to take tips.

Every once in a while, some kind-hearted soul would try to give one of us working the counter a small tip and we politely refused.

Now, the fast food places give you that stupid pad with tip amounts right in your face. On the rare occasion I go to a fast food restaurant, I make sure to have cash so I can bypass that BS.

I do tip well at regular sit-down restaurants with wait service - if the service is decent. It almost always is. If it’s not (and I can’t remember the last time it wasn’t) I’ll at least give them 10% unless they were outright rude or something.
