    It’s not the same thing. Tipping is a psychological game that pits customers and servers against each other. It’s “how little can I tip before they tamper with my food” versus “how indebted can I make them feel before they reject it and leave without tipping”

      Normal people never, ever think this.

        I didn’t realize you’re the spokesperson for all normies, what an honor. Really though, it is a common sentiment, especially with pre-tipping. When they flip around that iPad and glare at you, there is definitely a sense that the probability of them spitting in your food is not 0% if you hit the no tip button.

        Baristas post on their social media about giving non-tippers decaf all the time. If that’s what they are willing to share publicly to the entire world, imagine what people are willing to do secretly.

          Dude there is a universe worth of difference between eating at a restaurant and being asked to tip like, a good truck or some shit.

          I’m completely unaware of this, and this is stupid.

          You tip people who live on tips for a living, and in places of high, but not elite, quality.
