In my opinion, tipping has really gotten out of control. It used to be 20% is generous… now it’s an expectation… and seems like more and more are pushing for 25%

Amusingly, I was at Rite Aid last week and the customer ahead of me actually gave the cashier a bill (didn't notice how much) at the end of his transaction and told her to keep it. I'd never seen that before, so I asked if they were allowed to keep it. She said that they were not, so she was going to give it to her manager.

The tipping thing has gotten ridiculous. People are expecting tips for cashiering! I even heard about a retail store where the employee whipped out a handheld device and asked the customer if they wanted to leave a tip, just for providing basic assistance on the sales floor, which they are already being paid to do.

I placed an order online for a retail business. Nothing custom, nothing unusual and was prompted to tip upon check out. Are you kidding me? No, it's not a small business. Agree it's getting out of hand. This from somebody who used to wait tables and relied on tips for a living!

Wait, you were asked to tip for an online order that you placed yourself without any human interaction? That's outrageous!

A friend of mine worked the take-out (drive-up) window at Olive Garden. Since she was qualified as hourly, not as a waitress her tips went unreported (not required to be reported as % of sales, like a waitress/waiter must)[...]
