Tip lines on EVERYTHING
Does this bother anyone else besides me?? For instance, I go to get some frozen yogurt from the local SELF SERVE yogurt shop. You know, the ones where you serve yourself from the dispensers on the wall. Go to check out, and boom: tip line. All the employee does is ring you up. I know, I know - just don't tip. But I am the type to put something on the line because I feel guilty if I don't. Have also been noticing tip lines at several other locations that aren't traditional tipping places, i.e. where one would sit down and be served (I fully understand its purpose there). I'm talking call in order type places. Are we going to start seeing tip lines at McDonalds? Gas stations? Movie theatres? Every eatery out there? You get the picture. In my humble opinion, they are playing on peoples' guilt, and it's not right!!!
