Tipping

[mistaclubdays]

Is it just me or has tipping gotten out of control ? Seems like no matter where you go there is either a tip jar or a menu option on the pay screen to provide a tip. Why do I need to tip someone for putting something I bought in a bag ? With the screen option it’s like they’re trying to shame you into
leaving a tip. I’m 68 years old and I can tell you no one is shaming me into anything. It’s not just NY. I was in PA last week and saw a spa in a strip mall so decided to give it a try. I got a minimal effort massage if you could even call it a massage and not a hint of anything extra. I took out a twenty for a tip and the provider tells me I should give her $40. I told her for $40 I want boom boom, laughed to myself and went out the door

I can deal with the tip jar because it is so easy to ignore , but the tip option on a pay screen is out of control .

Because… why not? That’s why. Leave a jar out = someone will put something in there. It’s free money. The square payment machines that have you run through the tipping options before you can finalize the sale is annoying. Now I have to really let the worker know I am not tipping them.

I tip waiters, barbers and valets. Everyone else can fuck off, including providers

During Covid I used to tip more to anyone working because of the situation. Now I do not tip at all at certain joints, i.e. Starbucks, coffee shops, take out...

Establishments such as Starbucks provide minimum service. They are making a drink with a premium cost. I ask myself why I'm I tipping for them doing their job? Did they go above and beyond? Did they provide extra coffee for me on a side cup, no.

The fact that fastfood places like shakeshacks asking for tips is outrageous.

why not? Look at all the morons tipping on top of the tip here? People love to tip!!

She asked me for tips. So I did just that, gave her just my tip.

Thank you thank you, you’ve been a wonderful audience! I’ll see myself out now.

I’m not that upset with the occasional “asking” tip. What gets me now is the mandatory tip that establishments are forcing ppl to pay. If there is a mandatory tip.. I don’t go there
