5. I went to a wine bar, gave them my charge card and they handed me a glass.

I went to the wine selection area, chose my wine, paid for it, took it to my table. No food. No service other than my own effort. At checkout was the optional tip portion on the computer. For what?

I went to a hot dog stand last summer. I walked up to the counter, placed my order, paid for it, ate the food and cleaned up after myself. A tip? For what?

Yes. Tipping is getting out of hand. Pay the damn workers a livable wage!

By the way, for good service I’m happy to tip.

What makes you think if they receive a living wage, that the tip requests will stop ? MichMan Jan 2023 #7

Even if you do tip, do you really think the workers are getting that money? Native Jan 2023 #6
