I see nothing wrong in a simple showing of appreciation. But when a pleasant little gift/surprise turns into an expectation that forms a significant part of a business strategy that demands customers pay a significant part of employee wages, that, in my book is a scam. Devoid of conscience, ethics, honesty.
My thoughts exactly. You can't check out of almost any business, without the payment system "expecting" a Tip. Yesterday, it was at Subway.

It's getting worse and more and more people are complaining.

I recently (last week) bought the Domain Name, "NoMoreTipping.com".

Issue organizing isn't my thing, so if anyone has any ideas, I'm open!
