A Matter Of Opinion: When Do You Tip?
A sign at a lunch counter prompted this post. It said something like, "What is 'pita' backwards? A tip!" Next to the sign was a tip jar. I tip based on tradition. I tip servers at restaurants and bars. I tip baristas. I don't generally tip "sandwich artists." But I'm beginning to wonder why. Is making a coffee drink any more tip-worthy than making a sandwich? I can't see why. Now, I can choose to stop tipping baristas, but that is so ingrained. So, now what?
Who do you tip and why?
