I don't know if I'm in the minority on this. But lately, tipping has begun to really irritate me.
It started about 10 years ago when I walked into a restaurant to pickup my phone order. I went to the register, gave my card, and was given the receipt to sign.
It had a tip line on it. I thought, "I haven't even gotten my food, yet there asking me to give them money when I hadn't yet been served".
At the time, I thought this was odd. I was taught to show your appreciation for GOOD service. And, to supplement lower wage earners. Back then, it was appreciated rather than expected.
Now, it seems to be expected!
These days, everywhere I go, there's a tip jar.
Last week, a friend went to pickup food for us, the hostess brings the bag, and has a big tip jar in front of her. For handing us our food!
This is my rant for the year! Am I being too sensitive?
