might be interested to see how it works here given your own frustrations
with it in LA.

I've absolutely had it with tipping. I've got everyone from Subway to
McDonald's pestering me for tips now.

Dude, you shoved a bag of burgers across the counter to me. What makes you
think you deserve an extra 20% of my bill for that? Especially here in
California, where, thanks to the socialists in the legislature, you make more
than $20/hr by law to shake the fry basket or squirt the guac bottle in the
first place. (Which has resulted in the cost of a Big Mac/fries/soda
approaching $20 now. In 2019, I could get that for $7.95) You're already
making *far* more than your unskilled labor is worth and you have the stones
to try to shake me down for an additional 20% tip on top of it all?

And the standard used to be 15% for good service, 20% for exceptional service,
but now when you get the tip prompt screen on the credit card reader, it
starts at 20% and then goes up for there. Waitstaff are now expecting 30% or
more from you and consider you a bad tipper if all you give them is 20%. It's
gotten so that I only use cash at fast food joints so I'm never asked for a
tip in the first place. Yes, they have a jar next to the register but you can
easily pretend you don't notice that.
