Tips

Why do most, if not all, restaurant customers compute tips on the price of the food purchased? Tips are paid to reflect the level of SERVICE received, not the level of money removed from your wallet based on the price of the item ordered. Here's the deal-e-o. STOP giving your money away. Stop, Stop, Stop. When you go to a restaurant, don't even look at the check when you're computing the tip. Just decide how much the level of service you received was worth monetarily and tip accordingly. And STOP tipping coffee barista's and clerks at Circle K / 7-Eleven. They are paid an hourly wage to do their job. Those tip jars are tantamount to begging.
