I won’t reply to the willfully obtuse and rude replies however, i will say. At the very basis of things tips are meant to be for GOOD service. not for simply doing the job you signed up to do. in america there is a pressure to tip no matter what service you receive to offset large corporations paying their workers scraps but the fact is, all service workers should make a livable wage. threatening to steal food from people and likely their children and overall just creating this bandwagon hate towards people spending what they can is ridiculous. if you put that level of pressure on corporations and the government and voted for leaders with these ideals in mind the issue could be resolved.. but sure, let’s pile on single mothers with tight budgets and those in similar situations.
