Tipping is a complicated mess in the USA.
So, today, I went to Firehouse Subs. Ordered 2 sandwiches. The total was $30 or so. It asks me for a tip. There's a "no tip" option.
But, here's the thing. I don't know in that case who I'm tipping. If its the people that made the sandwich, what is their pay scale? Is this just bonus (could also be seen as extortion) for the work they're already doing?
IMO, if this is the case, they need to state where the tip goes. Are these people working on a "tip wage" or a full wage?
I ended up tipping 10% because if the people behind the counter are working for tips, I don't want to stiff them. But, I really don't know.
Could requiring disclosure for where the tips go and the wage structure be a requirement? Does that make any sense?
Tipping in restaurants wasn’t challenged, the sun shop was. You respect hard working people.. omfg.. I respect people and consider most don’t give a crap & the work your wage culture is rampant. You couldn’t possibly tip as well as I do, I’m older and carry a stack of Benjamin’s as pocket money. Your logic is flawed & you operate from emotion.

So when you go to the dealership tip your mechanic. When you buy groceries, tip your checkout person, then your bagger. When you stop by the electronics store & buy a new laptop, tip your geek. If you aren’t doing this, chill.
