When the cast member at Disney walks into his/her Walmart, guess what? Their eggs cost just as much as Joe Retiree living on a "fixed income". Gas costs just as much, but the working stiff has to buy more of it.
If you can't afford to tip the person behind the counter, or it brings a financial hardship to you, don't do it. But if that's the case, probably spending money on fast-food meals is not a great choice either.
I totally agree with whoever it was in a previous post who said watching too much TV news, whether it be CNN or FOX is a recipe for misery. Get out, breathe some Florida air, be glad we are not bracing for that ice storm. Try to enjoy the few precious days we have left. Don't let some TV newsperson with too much make-up spoil your day.
Carry on.

Hey, thanks-
The post you are referencing was #44 in this bizarro thread. That post was mine,
The “news” is causing so much anger— along with all those other negative emotions — to run rampant.
Add FB and its spawn to what those television channels grind on and on about and we sure are in a mess.
The so-called “news” is calculated by the power brokers to keep the viewers in a heightened state of negativity.
It is interesting — though actually terrifying — to read about something known as the amygdala hijack. That’s when the emotional part of the brain takes over the thinking part of the brain.
The amygdala is the emotional response territory of the brain and when it is constantly under siege it can take over normal thinking and cause behaviors that can wreck all kinds of important, in-person relationships.
Pogo was right. (sigh)
