People push back on vendors who demand tips or shame customers for not leaving one. One speaker describes a vendor who called the next day to point out a missed tip, creating real awkwardness. The core point: tipping should stay voluntary, not become an obligation.
At the end of the day, remember that vendors that like, hey, if they're giving you a tip, great. Like, that's amazing. Like, you know, great, great, great. Right? But don't demand it and don't expect it
retroactively. Like, the next day be like, hey, I noticed you didn't give me
a tip. How are you people raised? How is somebody raised?
That's so embarrassing for you. Yeah.
If you've done that before, I hope that was a lesson learned. Like, I really hope that was a lesson learned.
If a vendor ever was like, so where's my tip? I'm like, that's not a tip. Like, you've removed all the grace and the giving from the situation and you've turned it into a demand. And I, like, literally, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
