Are you a good tipper?
Do you tip everywhere that asks you for a gratuity?
Do you over tip? If so, is it to be generous to the person you are tipping, or to show off to your friends? (I know someone like that... lol).
It seems everywhere you go, and now more and more delivery services are wanting, or even worse, automatically adding a tip to the bill.
Tipping in a restaurant, to an adult trying to support a family on min wage, that comes to your table, takes your order, brings the food to your table then has the table cleared for you... sure, that deserves a tip.
The pimple faces kid standing at the register at Starbucks, where you wait in line for your order to be taken, wait for your beverage then find a seat IMO is not tip worthy.
Grocery delivery is another... is it because it's food they feel they deserve a tip? You are paying for the service/delivery.... I mean do you tip Amazon every time they bring your FREE delivery? or UPS, FedEX?
And for some to automatically add in a tip based on the amount you spend and NOT the quality of the service that is being performed seems a bit entitled.
For me... when I go out to eat, I start with a base of 20%, the tip will go up or down based on the service. As for others... if the shopper does not send me 15-20 texts when they are doing my shopping, even though paying for the service... I will tip, mostly because if I don't I will hear about it for days from my fiancee. But I wait till the end to adjust so they don't fuck with my food
