the ones I do end up with I give to the kids to buy smarties, for good grades and helping their parents in the yard/around the house. all the children here are obsessed with smarties
people work hard and I want to contribute to my neighbourhood in every way I can. 'keep the change' is super-easy. requires zero effort on my part. and like I'm gonna buy a pack of cigs with twenty $50 bills
I don't tip cashiers in a drug store, computer shop where I scan stuff, grocery store but I do tip the young dudes and ladies who bag my purchases as I'm cashing out cuz they work on tips. don't tip the maintenance man unless he does something outside of fixing a tap or something, as in a personal favour
I think 'enforced tipping' is wrong and speaks to corps trying to lower wages at the expense/on the backs of their business patrons. and no one should have to rely on tips at an hourly/salaried job to make their full income, so ethically wrong on both ends
that trend is fuckery
