A Fast Food Restaurant
A forum member was surprised when they were asked to tip at a popular fast food restaurant. They said it felt a bit excessive, even though service workers are notoriously underpaid.
A Liquor Store
One respondent was particularly shocked over finding a tip jar inside their locally owned liquor store.
