Places that never had tipping have added it in the last couple years. At least two fast food places I occasionally eat at have added tipping: The Habit and Five Guys. Local bakeries where I pick up a loaf of bread have added tipping. In my mind at least, the whole concept of tipping a server at a restaurant was the idea that the server was attending to your group’s needs for like an hour, refilling water glasses, refilling coffee cups, bringing over condiments that were requested, etc. It really is strange that a bakery cashier who simply hands you a loaf of bread and enters the sale on a cash register or other point-of-sale device deserves a 15%-20% tip for that. Should the cashier at a paint store deserve a similar tip? The clerk at 7-Eleven ringing up a Slurpee and a pack of Luckys? Why not?
Yep. Tips are for good service. I ignore tip jars. Raise the food price but don’t expect a tip for simply running a lunch counter.
Tipping at Papa Murphys, you have to go out of your way while ordering online to avoid it. They just throw ingredients on a shell and wrap it is plastic. I don’t tip for that.
