Tipping
Ok, enough is enough. Everytime I turn around there is a tip jar on the counter. Bad enough that when you pay for things now with your credit card there is a TIP line underneath your cost. You have to put a line through this now so as to make sure someone doesn't add a tip after you have left the restaurant. A good Waiter or Waitress deserves a tip, no doubt. But someone who works at a Megachain Coffee drive through and just makes a cup of coffee? Please! A cup of coffee these days runs about $3.50. I can see handing someone four bucks and saying keep it. But who carries four one dollar bills now? So, you get your change at the window, you receive it hand to hand right next to the tip jar. The pressure is incredible! Do I put in a buck? Or do I put in the fifty cents? Not like I am leaving it on the table at my favorite restaurant and no "Tip Contact" is made with the server. Oh no! This person is right there in your face with their tip jar conveniently poised! If I put in a buck, I'm an ok kinda guy in their world. If I put in fifty cents, I'm a cheapskate dirtbag. I now avoid these places at all costs.
