I'm far from a cheap tipper, but the way tipping culture has evolved in North America is ridiculous.
I have traditionally been a good tipper. Often others will mention it.
But the recent changes have me turned into a mister pink in a lot of cases.
Anything take out or not full service I just hit no now. Also the round up for some random cause, I found companies only have to donate like 10% of those to stay in the clear.
Also in the few instances I’m getting take out type shit like pizza and hit “no” and they made a comment. I no longer go there.
I stick with the tipping habits I grew up with.
If I'm getting table service at a restaurant, I tip the waitstaff.
If I'm getting food delivered, I tip the delivery person.
I tip taxi drivers.
I tip bartenders. I'm honestly not sure how to tip bartenders these days though, because it used to be "$1 per drink", which seemed quite generous when drinks were less than $5. Now a single drink might be $12. Am I really supposed to tip 20% on that?
If I'm walking up to a counter and getting takeout or fast food, I'm not tipping. That's nutty. Nobody would even consider that if they didn't use these customer-facing tablets everywhere nowadays.
Sometimes I'll toss a buck in the tip jar at my favorite coffee shop or pizzeria, but it's not a percentage thing.
I've always known old people to be shitty tippers. Maybe I'm on my way to becoming one of them now, failing to keep up with social norms. But I really don't think this is the norm, and I don't want it to become the norm.
i maintain 1 dollar per drink with bars and coffee shops
