I went through a new car wash in the area “Whitewater Express”. They had an attendant at the screen (I guess people can’t do this ourselves?) and at the end it gave an option of Tip $1, $2, or $3. Why in the world would there need to be a tip at a drive through car wash?

For that 3 seconds when he scrubs your bumper with the brush.

This is how employers try to avoid paying people more by saying this job pay this PLUS tips! Thanks, Biden.

Had that happen to me at my car wash the other week.

My favorite is the tip jars at the dispensaries.

Being asked for a tip makes me 100% less likely to give one.

Not only has tipping culture going off the rails but the begging for donations by retail establishments in the checkout line is out of control too. No, I'm not rounding up. No, I'm not adding a dollar.

I bought a donut for a $1.71 at the DFW airport and one of the options was to tip $3. A 175% tip on handing me a donut.

I just spent 10 days in Ireland. Tipping isn't a thing there. There aren't even the options for tipping when you swipe your card. It was pretty nice.

Being the jerk I am..... Pulled into such a carwash in Prairieville and one such attendant came to "help me". I told him I can handle it and to please step back, have a nice day. He said sir this is my job hand me your card. I said no thank you, I have it handled. He insisted. I told him sooooo how do I leave? He says well you have to pay and go through now, especially with a large truck like that you cannot back out. I said ok bye and backed out. We noticed two other employees running towards him as we were leaving.

Trust me, if millenials could get the “tips” y’all boomers got like buying a 3 story house for 10k we’d gladly trade

A few days ago, my hotel room had a QR code in the room to tip the room service worker. It was just a Marriott hotel too, nothing fancy

You do know that you can say "no thanks" right?

Went to the Georgia Renaissance Fair yesterday. They have several restroom areas which are just 6 or 7 Port-A-Lets behind a plywood wall. At the portable hand washing spot I kid you not there was a tip jar. I'm as nice and giving as they come, but oh hell no.

the car wash thing bothers the hell out of me. it feels like a door to door salesman when they rush over to touch the touch screen for me. I tried to drive to the farthest kiosk i could the other day but the kid ran to me to help. He then pressed the wrong buttons and had to cancel the transaction.

Tipping shouldn’t be a thing. Just work and get paid.
