    I remember when 10% used to be default for typical service and 15%-18% for exemplary service. Then, several years ago, suddenly everyone started putting 15% as the lowest option on their debit/credit machines. Now I have to push Other Amount to add a 10% tip, but honestly just pressing the no-tip button would be a lot easier. I don’t do it, but it sure is getting tempting.

      It’s especially getting out of hand when convenience stores are doing it, and then the cashier has the gall to give you a shitty look, especially when you hit no tip. Motherfucker, you scanned my item and processed a transaction, why the fuck do you deserve a tip for just doing your job?

        I will get hate for it but that last sentence is exactly how I feel about a waiter at a restaurant. You brought me my drink, and you brought me my food. Which is supposed to be your job, I understand that a lot of them get paid potentially less than minimum wage but that’s not my fault. I paid what was asked for, if the server went Above and Beyond in some way I will generally leave a tip but if they just did their job I don’t see any reason to.

        Be mad at your bosses for being worthless piles of shit who don’t pay you properly not me for not paying more than what I was asked to pay
