PLEASE BE KIND TO SERVERS!!! MOTHER'S DAY IS THE WORST TIME IN ALL THE YEAR TO WAIT TABLES!!!
We think this is a great opportunity to bring up tipping that is now confronting respistance from uptight customers.
Here's the word and more info . . .
"Given the increase in the cost of living, I’m hung up on the 20% rule. I live in a big city. You can pay $7 for a coffee. A coffee! Not tipping 20% makes you look like some kind of fascist. I tipped 15% once on a date, and the guy made some smart comment, “Oh, you’re only tipping 15%?” and I never saw him again. Cabs now cost $30 for a three-mile ride. Is it ever OK to tip less than 20%? Soon we will be tipping 25% or 30%, or more. I’m sorry for ranting, but I’m sick and tired of being guilted into tipping everywhere I go."

I'm sick and tired of tipping 20% every time I eat out. Is it ever OK to tip less? Or am I a cheapskate?
I'm afraid to bring this up with friends in case they call me a " Karen " or tell me I'm being selfish or a skinflint. Over the past 12 months, I have seen my rent go up by 25%. I'm paying $3,200 for a one-bedroom apartment.
'Guilt-Tipping' Has Hit the Self-Checkout Aisle
In a world of all-consuming tipflation, it feels like we can never get away from hearing the dreaded "The iPad is just going to ask you a quick question" before being presented with what can feel like a Sophie's choice of tipping options.
You decide . . .
