Friend wanted Starbucks hot chocolate while we were out, so I drive to the drive-through. On the pay screen, there was a tip option with 18%, 20%, 25%, you could put in your own, or NONE….on a drive-through order for a hot chocolate? AND on the counter of the drive-through pickup window was a glass jar with cash tips in it! It is out of control. The minimum wage was raised to $15, so retailers raise their prices, cost of living is more expensive, so the general public has to supplement their income. No.

Nah, thank all capitalists for that. They find every loophole not to pay workers a decent wage and squeeze every penny from the customer.

I'm still salty about a £40 tip I got at my old job. The manager took it off me to "share with the whole team" even tho half of them didn't work with me lol and I never saw it again. Not even a box of chocolates. Fat **** probably spent it on her awful lash extensions.

It's so out of hand that people in england expect tips now lmao. I ain't tipping no one while wages get taxed lol

Yes and it's ridiculous. I have to pay the corporation and also their employee? Why am I footing some of the bill for their employee's wage? If you're the type of person who performs the task that is expected and complains when you aren't tipped, might I recommend blowing your brains out?

That’s no longer what it is, though.
Now it’s become consumer-supplied compensation for work performed and it’s damn near required. You can get banned from places for not tipping (allegedly, I wouldn’t know)
Stop.

It's not a tip if it's expected of me.
A tip is what I give you to show my appreciation if I decide you went above and beyond the reasonable expectations of your job description.
