Tipping culture has gotten way too fucking out of hand.

Archive: https://archive.today/z7q1U

From the post:

Tipping culture in the US appears to have become so extreme that some staff now think that customers who do not leave a gratuity are breaking the law.

At least, that's what some restaurant workers seem to think, judging by a viral video this week that shows a dramatic confrontation between employees and a customer. The clip has reignited a broader debate over whether tipping in America has spiraled out of control, raising questions about 'tipflation,' social pressure, and the expectations placed on diners. It shows the tense aftermath after a man allegedly left a restaurant without tipping his wait staff.

Demand the tip up front. That helps set the queue.

In some ways, it might be considered a bribe, I suppose…but that would be wrong because you’re just getting a tip.
