Hahah that's hilarious but no seriously let's compare farm subsidies to waiter's tips and oh hey that's not what chefs do basically at all.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Just posting in this thread because I don't want to start another.
If you stay at a hotel one night, do you tip the housekeeping staff?
Yes. I get the same service as if I stayed two nights.

I went through a Starbucks drive-through this morning, and on the credit card machine they hold for you, you have to select your tip before inserting your card. There's no button for 0, you have to figure out the system to go through whatever custom menu that is. While dealing with sun glare and the shaky hand holding the machine for you through the window. So I chose the lowest number, $1 on my $4 order, and decided I probably wouldn't bother going back to Starbucks again.

If you do leave a tip, best to give it directly to your waiter in cash and pay the restaurant bill by card:

That was just the universe balancing out when I went to Caribou Coffee on Thanksgiving day, I swiped my credit card and then I asked the guy where I can leave a tip. He couldn't figure out the machine and had to awkwardly get a coworker to come over and help. They finally figured out a way to manually type in extra, so I gave them a few bucks. I never tip at a drive thru / coffee place but they were the only place open on Thanksgiving, so I wanted to give thanks.

And that’s why certain servers and restaurants do better with the tipping model. There are a significant number of people that want to tip excellent service. They don’t want to feel compelled through higher prices, though, and they don’t want to see poor service compensated the same as good service.

In speaking to a friend, he mentioned that Chicago has increased the minimum wage for waiters. It will increase until it equals the regular minimum wage.
Would this change your tipping or the % that you tip?

But it will change others…

Yeah I don't really care how much someone makes, waiter, haircut, cab, bartender, delivery driver... the scenarios where I tip.
How do you decide who to tip? Why pick those as oppose to dentist, car/bike mechanic, travel agent, anesthesiologist (LOL), etc.?
