The worst is the retail tipping, which is creeping at lightning speed into everything. Hell no I'm not tipping at places like Starbucks or Subway; they're already compensated for that work - it's called a wage. Someone made a good point on Reddit the other day which I myself follow; never tip on anything where you pay BEFORE eating / drinking your product.
Tipping culture is out of control on this continent and needs to just die. It's so nice going to places like Japan, Australia, etc. where it's just not a thing. Restaurants should just pay serving staff a living wage, drop the stupid requests on pinpads for retail, and eliminate tipping once and for all.
