    It’s kinda insane to me how successful tip propaganda is. 20%??

    My whole life, 15% was considered a top tier tip. Prices have gone up on everything across the board, but tips are a percentage meaning 15% is still more money than it was twenty years ago, so why in the fuck has it gone from 15% for a great tip to 20% as a minimum?? So not only are prices higher, you want a higher cut of that higher price?? Insane.

      Pay has gone up less than prices. That’s why tip percentage has gone up.

      People are stupid and that’s why it’s done what it has.

      I hate when I walk to a counter, order something then the machine is programmed to ask for a tip. Fuck everything about that. Hate hate tipping culture to begin with.
