Pretty obvious that corps, esp. service/hospitality business, are trying to throw costs back on the exhausted consumer.

This actually started years ago, when a few decades after breaking janitor unions, hotels began "Recommending" $5/night for room service instead of $5-10 for a week's stay. Back then the millie chicks hadn't fully taken over Media yet so there was pushback in the news.

Now, Restaurants are trying to normalize 20% tips, and tipping for takeou/counter staff at all. Nope!

They already hiked their prices big league before the 20% tip push, so wait staff are already getting proportionally more.

Remember: 15% meh, 18% Good, 20%+ excellent, amazing, beyond the call of duty

And this push started before the $15-18/hr minimum wage hikes in some states.

I bought a new charger and the credit card point of sale put 3 different tip amounts on the screen.

I see that everywhere from Subway sandwich shops to bowling alleys. I wonder if the POS software is somewhat generic and uses that tip display on all devices.

So tipping is now customary anywhere you swipe your card, it seems. Grocery store, gas station etc. I wonder when we'll start seeing it on Amazon.

It is, and there should be no doubt in your mind

Somewhere in the future everyone will walk around with barcode on their outer piece of closing for easy tipping.

I already saw this abomination on a car, had some kind of QR code for donations. Some people feel absolutely no shame begging.

I wonder if beggars will put a tip jar next to their begging cup.
