Yeah, tipping culture is fake and gay. I am so sick of this shit. Just pay people what they should be paid for the job and charge more. If you can't survive as a business doing that then you probably should not be in business.

From the post:

>Americans have finally reached their breaking point when it comes to tipping. After years of being asked to leave gratuities everywhere from coffee shops and takeout counters to ride-share apps and self-service kiosks, many consumers say they have had enough - and are now tipping less than they did just a year ago. A new nationwide survey found that 78 percent of Americans believe tipping culture has become 'ridiculous,' while nearly half say they have actively cut back on gratuities in 2026 as household budgets come under increasing pressure. The findings, from restaurant technology company Popmenu, suggest a growing backlash against what many consumers see as relentless requests for extra money on top of already rising prices.

If I wasn't sitting down at a table in a restaurant when I ordered AND paid, then I'm not tipping.

This is the rule.

And even then sometimes it's too much.

I refuse to use any kind of food delivery service. Before all of these Uber eats/skip the dises etc, the restaurant paid the driver a little and then you gave them a tip, which I eas ok with because it saved me money and time. Now with these "services" the restaurant ups their prices on these service items, there is a fee for the service and a fee for the driver, which in most cases the driver gets a small portion or nothing at all, then you arr expected to tip on top of that. FUCK THAT on principal alone.

I'm with you. I've had three encounters with food delivery services, all at the insistence of friends, and all three have been bad in one way or other. And all three have been way WAY too expensive. I get it. People want to be compensated for their time. But paying the money for some dumb nigger or mud to bring cold or fucked up food to me isn't worth anything.

Never, EVER use food delivery.

I'd be ok with paying extra the one time a year I feel the need to have an emergency pizza delivered. But some shitskin handling my food? Not if I have any control over it. I've seen too much.
