    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

      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.

      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.

      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.
