feel like I’m encounterimg tip requests with increasing frequency, but not jazzed about the prospect of adding a 20% charge at every point of sale.

Food.
If you touch my food, I want you to be as happy as possible.
If you have to drive to me, I need to give you more money. If you had to walk outside to deliver my food, I need to give you more money. If you work at a slop house, I need to give you more money. Its a pretty solid reason why I can’t eat out as much as would be convenient but its something that I try to live by.
I very much avoid anything but passing cash directly to the staff though. I don’t want them to have to pay more in taxes if they don’t want to or give reasons for management to keep wages low and most importantly I don’t want management to be able to take a cut of the tips for themselves.
Anything else that I normally do where there’s a tip jar, I politely ignore. Mostly because I don’t have enough money to be able to be so free with tips in Hell-country but also because it doesn’t seem fitting.
