Forced Tipping

Forced Tipping Miracle Man 5/16/2023 I have always been a tipper, amount based, service driven. But in adding 20% to my meal, it then becomes taken, not given. When you’ve taken from me, my independence of choice. In essence you’re then guilty, of stifling my voice. A thought worth considering, a living wage would suffice. From the pie that you call yours, give employees a tiny slice. It’s about customers helping pay the help so they don’t have to. So lately I decided to go to the store and just make my own. I had to check myself out and pay a service fee for using my card. Ha ha Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, I feel better. Tom

I dont tip, I dont eat out and I thinking tipping is ridiculous. It's supposed to a gratuity not an add on.

Daniel we're thinking alike on this one for sure. I phoned in an order for 2 pints of white sauce, went to pick it up and was charged an additional 79 cent service fee. I guess for answering the phone and putting a bag.
