[quote=Anonymous]Perhaps someone has said this already, but a lot of the saltiness here is due to the fact that tipping of shoppers, food delivery people, and point of sale service has changed since pandemic restrictions have disappeared.

Pre 2020, point of sale tipping (tipping when picking up food, ordering an ice cream cone) was not that common. And I’m not positive, but I think default food delivery tipping was well below 20% of the total. I think I remember seamless giving a 10% option which is never offered anymore. From 2020-2021/22, tipping increased a ton because these services were valued in a way they had never been before. Now all the restrictions in the us are gone, and the services are not valued as much. Food delivery people might find this hard to stomach, but that’s the way a free market economy works. People pay less when the value drops. In the meantime, the default tip is set to 20% on food delivery, as is the donut shop where they grab a donut from the case. People are pushing back at tipping the same amount they did during the pandemic.

Notice I’m not saying people should or should not tip, just explaining why they don’t. [/quote]
