Alright so I don't think we have a thread for this, and I wanted to get the conversation going.
In a post from yesterday I mentioned a request to top at a self serve frozen yogurt place. This baffled me. So let's talk about tipping.
Personally I think ever since we went to those electronic tablet payment processing devices the question of posing a tip pops up a LOT more, and I get the feeling most people just hit the button to tip instead of asking themselves if they should.
So what do you tip for? What won't you tip for?
Personally I think it would be better if we just increased wages on food and got rid of tipping all together but that is just me. In college working small restaurant jobs etc I lived on tips, so I do understand how important that aspect of your wage is when you are making $3 an hour. Also worked at a pub that pooled the tips... I hated that as I felt it rewarded the bad servers. Anyways glad I am not longer in that profession.
So what say you?
