Americans are getting tired of tipping, survey shows.

Only people I tip are sit-down restaurant staff, food delivery drivers, and my barber (been friends a decade and he does a dam fine job). Everyone else can take a hike. I'm not tipping you for clicking my order on a screen.

 

When going thru a self checkout, when the total price comes up after taxes, there should be a minimum 10% off your total bill for doing a checkers job!

 

At the McDonalds drive thru, do you tip at the window you pay or at the window you get your food?

 

Few experiences in the world compare to getting rolled with rohypnol (Bill Cosby'd); coming to with a sore butthole AND a bad haircut.

 

Last door dash delivery of groceries earned the lady driver a $15.00 tip, because we rarely do utilize such services.
2-3 bucks is a joke.

Tipping BEFORE a meal used to stand for To Insure Proper Service, probably from the '40's.
I tried it ONCE at the counter of a t.a. restaurant and it failed miserably.

A LOT of so called "wonderful restaurants" are not when Patrons start actually LOOKING AROUND THE INTERIOR & EXTERIOR of restaurants, 'specially some of those so called "high end joints".

Wife and I went to a place in Greensboro, NC called LeBlon.
I'll NEVER go again, not because of the cost $48.00 per person or a cheaper rate but no Meat, but because the exterior glaringly looks unkempt & run down, as well simple overlooked interior maintenance issues, like CLEANING.

Desserts at $8.00

A friend of ours paid for it as a gift to our 30 year Wedding Anniversary as well because I may not be around much longer due to Stage 4 Metastatic Bladder Cancer.
The "Tip" was 25%.

 

Speaking of barbers. Shop I used to go to in Austin years ago was run by an older gentleman. He sold it to a younger dude. I had quit going there as I found a place that charged 7 bucks, no English spoken lol and decided to go back. This was about 10-12 years ago. Walked in and axed how much is a haircut. Dude said 20 bucks. I walked out. Called around and everybody wanted 20 bucks. F that.
Now I cut it myself or if it's too cold outside , go to a lady that cuts it for 10 bucks. I always tip her.

 

I see nothing wrong with this outlook and have a similar outlook on trucking. This is why I don't believe in per mile pay as I believe the carrier should be paying for everything for the employee.
