Tipping Culture

The whole touch screen thing has gotten out of control in the US. For example, you walk up to the counter in a fast food place to order some take out food. A sandwich, let's say. A place where you'd never usually tip, as they aren't doing anything other tan taking your order. They flip a screen around for you to pay, which includes several choices for tips, starting at 20%. And you're almost afraid not to tip, lest they sabotage your food. Although one place I used to go, Firehouse Subs, used to allow you to "round up" the payment to the nearest dollar, for a contribution to charity. I thought that was OK. A few extra cents for a good cause.

Just say no, that's what I do.

I tell them that I am collecting for a charity - and would they like to contribute? That usually shuts them right up.
