Holy shit man get up and take a walk ...

I did, actually, right after I posted.

Be better if you stayed there.

Well, now I am back sitting down in the same chair I was in before.

With the same terrible people skills.

Never tip at gas stations. No reason. I prepay with debit credit card. I pump my gas and wash my own windows while filling. No attendant involved.

Went to a little bakery yesterday morning. After standing in line for ten minutes and getting perfunctory service with little charm or welcome they wanted a tip. I chose OTHER and 0.

They earned every bit of that 0.

Went to our town's bakery early morning yesterday for Mother's Day and had a different experience.

There were more people outside the place waiting for their orders to be done than inside, and the line to order was out the door.

I finally get up there amid weekend Karens and douchebags in town for a wedding or something, and saw that the owner was behind the counter.

"Hey! What's up? What do you need today?"

"Not to make it difficult but what would you recommend for an assortment of breakfast pastries for a mom and a 4-year-old? Got any new good ones?"

She thought for a minute. Clacked away on the screen. "Get these for mom, these for your daughter. Mom's are the chocolate ones she likes and these here are fruity. Any coffee?"

When she rang me up, she leaned in and said, "and hey, wait right there beside the counter, okay? Just wait right there."

Got me my stuff in under 3 minutes.

I tipped an assload.

The pastries went down exactly as anticipated.

Exactly right. A tip is for services received. It’s not a participation trophy
