Tips are out of control. Every time you buy coffee or anything else over the counter with a card there is a screen asking you whether you want to give 15, 20, or 25%. For what? I generally tip well, but I am tired of paying someone’s wages that they should be getting from their employer.

I’m sick of it too that is why I posted this. The man just wanted dinner for his family but couldn’t afford to tip. It’s not his job to pay her wages it’s the restaurants.

I just get take out and say I’d rather eat at home on my bed while watching TV. Truth be told I’m sick of what tipping has become.

I use cash to avoid tip BS at counter serve places.

The fast food window wants a tip. Here’s a tip, I’m not your boss. It is the manager’s job to do employee evaluations, not the customer’s. I never got tipped for doing the job I was hired to do. I agreed to the salary and I did the job. That is the way all jobs should be. Restaurant owners need to add the price of the tip to the menu and pay their employees what they are worth.

But I’ll still be cooking at home.

I don’t tip anything if I’m being served at a counter. For regular service, I tip decently.
