I am sure this will start a shit storm: I just got back from Dunkin' Donuts and they alway have a tip cup on the counter. They are the only fast food chain I know of that allows their employees to solicit tips. You would never see that at McDonalds or Burger King. I have never tipped for my burger I wont tip for my coffee, unless I am sitting down and it is being brought to me.
Bartenders, waitresses and delivery people I tip very generously especially for good service. Haven been a bartender I know what it is like to be making $2.25 an hour and having someone stiff you on service. This isn't the case at Dunkins Donut they dont survive on their tips.
The other pet peeve I have is tipping the Mailman. These people have part time jobs that pay a real good full time pay. Full benefits and vacation package. With a nice pension (that we pay) at the end of 20 years service. Most of them retire before 50. Why the fuck should I tip them at Christmas?
If I am wrong tell me and I will start tipping everyone. But right now I just dont get it.
