Double or triple the typical tip? Virtue signaling, showing off, keeping up with the Jones's, whatever! They have been sucked into the lie. They drank heavily of the Kool-aid! It's all actually unnecessary. The employer has to fill the gap.
Remember "Thank you for your custom"?
Remember "Thank you for your patronage?
You are the customer, the patron. You don't need them.
They need YOU! Without customers they go under. If they can't feed, serve, make you happy, there are plenty of other places that will. How conniving of them to make us think otherwise.
