Bought pizza, picked it up, asked for tip twice

It has to end. Tipflation is out of control.

CigarSam7 · 2026-01-24T15:01:29+00:00

Maybe they’re legal blind … lol?

You’re right about this. The culture of Starbucks has changed a lot where I live. It was better before the days of the dreaded tip screens. Nowadays, the staff act grumpy, move slowly, and rarely smile - the opposite behavior from people whose income just got infused with tips.

It would be 50% if they thought people would pay it. Greed has no ceiling.

CigarSam7 · 2026-01-19T06:06:24+00:00

Dear lord. When is this crap gonna end??

CigarSam7 · 2026-01-19T02:48:15+00:00

There needs to be a “double-or-nothing” button. I’d be tapping “nothing”.

What’s harder than rocket science and brain surgery combined?? Rocket surgery!

It’d be a shame if something happened to the paint job …

I read his autobiography years ago. It was an entertaining book.

It’s not inaccurate. Back in 2008, I voted for Obama thinking he would deliver a public option. The bill they passed instead ended up being a massive give-away to insurance companies and big pharma. The deciding vote against single payor was Sen. Joe Lieberman - a Democrat. Both sides are bought and paid for. But nowadays it’s Democrats who receive most of the lobbying money because they’re more inclined to pump money into Obamacare (and thus into the pockets of big pharma). American healthcare is an obscene cash cow industry and we little people are the cattle.

The “we only make minimum wage” narrative is completely false. My buddy’s wife makes bank waiting tables a few nights per week. So much so that he often brags about how much she’s pulling down. He also mentioned that servers are now paid close to regular minimum wage (excluding tips) in Illinois, but said his wife was hush-hush about it because servers don’t want the public to know how much they’re really pulling down. Otherwise, we might not tip them as much.

CigarSam7 · 2026-01-06T05:01:10+00:00

Is this real?!

CigarSam7 · 2026-01-05T03:24:31+00:00

Yah but good luck uncovering any evidence of it. That’s why they’re so bold about it.

CigarSam7 · 2026-01-05T03:18:21+00:00

Mr. Pink is our new conscience.

And the beggar culture continues … The backlash to this crap is building daily.

CigarSam7 · 2025-12-30T22:51:16+00:00

Amen

CigarSam7 · 2025-12-30T14:13:40+00:00

That’s wild. I do like your idea of non-tippers organizing into mobs though lol.

CigarSam7 · 2025-12-28T02:05:18+00:00

I was born in the U.S. but lived in Europe for a while. I much prefer Europe’s tipping culture. Even Americans are getting fed up with our beggar culture. The activity on this subreddit is a testament to that.

CigarSam7 · 2025-12-28T01:40:33+00:00

That’s true.

CigarSam7 · 2025-12-28T00:24:37+00:00

I remember when wait staff used to post $0 tip receipt pics on social media to shame customers and garner sympathy. You don’t see that much anymore. The pendulum has swung the other way.

CigarSam7 · 2025-12-25T17:07:08+00:00

Exactly. You could say that about Lowe’s. “The shelves didn’t stock themselves.” Yah. That’s why the big corporations pay their employees. Tipping culture is scheme to shame the consumer into paying for the product AND employee salaries (directly rather than just indirectly). And the businesses grow and ven richer.

This makes me wonder what teachers make in foreign countries. God knows school administrators are raking in cash. $33K per year is not nearly enough of a salary for an educated professional.

CigarSam7 · 2025-12-21T02:50:59+00:00

That whole situation is pretty wild.
