I get not liking tipping, but it's the culture we live in. You normally tip 0-10%? That's embarrassingly low if you're at a restaurant relying on the service of a waiter or waitress. They need to make more than that on average to earn enough to afford a basic life. I guess I'm picking up your slack. Thanks.
I don't know how we get out of this tipping culture we've boxed ourselves into, but I do know what doesn't work, which is withholding money from 20-year-old young men and women just trying to get by.
