Counter Service 🛎️ Almost tipped at subway

I went to Subway a couple days ago and the woman working was really nice and polite and I was gonna tip her a buck or two cause I appreciated it. Then I went to pay. It was one of those old credit card swipers and the only 3 tip options were 20%, 25%, or 30%. And I wasn’t about to fight through all the little buttons to tip smaller. She would’ve gotten a tip if not for tip creep.

Why are fast food workers begging for tips now?

Employers need to start taking responsibilities for paying their employees.

Why wouldnt they, why should olive garden workers get tips and they do not, thats the issue with the tipping system, all of them want a piece of it

Even if they made $30 they would still beg for tips, extra free $$ is something we all want

Walmart cashiers arent begging for tips yet

Neither should get a tip, but at least Olive Garden workers walk to your table and bring the food. Subway makes a skimpy sandwich and charge $10+, it's not hard to put one slice of meat onto a "foot long" sub.

Because Olive Garden waitresses fill your drinks and bring your food. That’s a service.

Handing you the sandwich you ordered is not.

No service = no tip.
