While I consider myself to be a good tipper for sit-down restaurants, hairdressers, and service personal at Christmas, I have always been a little irked by the "tip cup" at counter places.
This reached an all new low yesterday, when I went to a SELF-SERVICE yogurt shop. In other words, I walked in, got my own cup, pulled the lever to get my own yogurt, sprinkled my own toppings, and grabbed my own spoon and napkin. I even had to weigh my own yogurt to determine the cost.
You guessed it. I go to the counter to pay, and big as day "Tips Appreciated" on a cup right next to the register! In other words, this buffoon wanted a tip simply for taking my money. He didn't do anything else for me!
Um, no. Where has all this entitlement come from?
