to be fair 15% of nothin is nothin. Seriously though its one reason I stopped going to sit down places awhile ago.

Sit down places

Outside of a retail grocer - who tf isn't asking for tips?

Retail grocer asks for round up donations to XYZ cause. They then make the donation in their name and claim it as a charity donation to reduce tax liability.

So just remember, folks, that rounding up for a "good cause" is just the company using your money to avoid paying some of their taxes.

well at this point there are a lot of things I don't go to just because its gotten to expensive even without tipping but way back I would have people tell me if im not willing to tip 20% I should not go so I stopped going to them. Im sure it made the wait staff much more money when I left their market.

Every self serve yogurt place I’ve been to and every single coffee place I go to.
