The only place I've seen them ask this then legit try to help you out if you say you didn't is Aldi.

Any place that uses a tablet for carryout when you pay with a card always ‘suggests’ a tip. Do you have a brane?

We just bought a townhouse with antiny plot of grass and i was like oh **** and bought a weedeater. Come to find out the association pays for the grass ‘mowing’. I had to mow 18 acres every 2 weeks as a kid so i chalk it up to ptsd

breastfeeding in public. If it's discreet not so bad. But flaunting it is another story.

Is that really a norm though? I don't really see it too often.

I did? Those tablets always suggest a tip when i pick up my carryout... come to think of it, so does the ogilvie station commuter beer stop, and they don’t even use a tablet

If it's pizza or Chinese or anyplace where carryout is a big part of their business, hell no. If it's a real restaurant where carryout is not typical and requires special effort the waitress has to put the order together, that takes time and gets a couple bucks. Not 20% like we had a table, but something for the effort.

another cheapskate. Give a couple bucks.

WTF is wrong with you? I used the words "couple bucks".

I'm Canadian. I tip the guy at the gas station, and would tip the cashiers at Safeway, if they weren't union and it wouldn't cost them their job. Social norms for me are pretty much my social life.

I’m not canadian and do the same thing. I even let a french waitress guilt trip us into tipping even though i knew she was bilking us

Upsetting to read so many weaklings don't want to cut grass.

When i lived in nyc it was during this moral panic about scandinavians leaving their kids’ strollers parked on the sidewalk (with the kids still in them). while they went into the bar. Some Danish couple did it in the east village and they threw the book at them. I guess I sided with giuliani on that one

The Danish give Scandinavians a bad name.
