    Everyone should follow the tipping guidelines from the olden days of when I was a child (80’s). I was taught that you tip your server, your barber/stylist, your driver (taxi/delivery) and the bell boy/valet. For the most part this still works today.

    • 10% meh
    • 15% good
    • 20% exceptional
    • Bell boy / valet $5 flat rate

      Out of those things, I only tip the server. Though, I don’t valet park so that’s really why I don’t tip them.

      20% used to make you a damned hero. Now they act like you’re short changing them. I’m not tipping someone for running a fuckin cash register. I’ve actually started paying cash again just to avoid this whole emotional trap bullshit.

      pay extra for meh is just brilliant. you’re all brainwashed to subsidize companies paying their own workers and act like this is remotely normal or acceptable.
