I do it too, because I don’t know how the restaurant works. Does it go to the person at the register? Does it go to the cooks who actually did the work to make the meal? Does it go to the owner… who isn’t supposed to accept tips?

I do it out of guilt, because they’re sitting there looking at you. But then I resent the whole system afterward and feel like a dope.

I don’t even know what the tipping rules are anymore. It’s just needs go away.
