Tipping has gotten absurd.
I was recently at Firehouse Subs - just wanted sandwich. While paying with a credit card I was prompted to select which tip amount to choose (before the sandwich has been made and given to me which is standard now). After that I was asked if I'd like to give an extra donation to some Fireman's fund. The icing on the cake was a tip jar at the register. That was the last time I'll be eating at Firehouse Subs.
Last month I was in Spain on vacation, as many know tipping is not unheard of in Europe but not the norm. It's often difficult to tip even if you wanted to. Taxi cabs, if you're paying by CC, have no option for a tip. It was very refreshing from the tipping extremes taking over here in the US.
