I’m really blinded by the rage with these stupid f#ckin tip cups popping up all over the place. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE and there is no stopping them.
Picture this. You are at Krishna Donuts on Oak Tree Road in Edison, you order a Boston Cream and a bottle of water. Krishna himself is serving you and the bill rings up to $2.20 USD. You hand Krishna $3 and the change comes back. Now there is 80 cents left and Krishna is looking for a piece of it. So much he actually taps the tip cup to give you a bit of encouragement. WHY WOULD I TIP YOU. You have done next to nothing and yet a tip is required. At least if I ordered coffee with cream and sugar, and you had to stir it, there might be some entitlement, but not in my donut parlor!
Things are going to far. Ice cream parlors have “College Fund” tip cups. Cute little girls serve ice cream and jingle the cup. Yeah, I’m really glad I had a part in little Betsy paying for Yale. Airport snack bars, pizza shops, sandwhich shops, convenience stores, Ethiopian restaurants, hungarian restuarants, Epcot center. I sh#t you not, I was at a Dutch market the other day and the Amish had a tip cup up at the pretzel stand. “Save the Oxen” fund was written on it.
