Need this nationwide. I hate having fees added on to the price of what I’m ordering.

    I usually don’t tip, as I live in a country where people don’t depend on the tip. And if they got a problem with that, they can take it up with management. I am not their employer. Also, I don’t get extra money for simply doing my job as well.

    But there are rare occasions, when I do. And that’s if I see that someone has gone unexpected “extra” lenghts, which can not usually be expected from doing the job.

    For example, in an italian restaurant my partner and I ordered some noodle dishes. We were there often, so we didn’t expect anything unusual. However, that day, the waiter just brought us some Parmesan cheese with the advice it tastes better with it and we shouldn’t be shy to ask for it. That was very forthcoming and justified a tip.

    On another occasion, when my partner had a hospital stay, we ordered some pizza. We did it once or twice, as the treatment took several weeks. Usually I went down to the building entrance and received the order. One day, there was an awesome delivery guy who took it up on himself to bring it to us to the patient room. We were very impressed. I remember that my partner said we should shower him in money, haha. We certainly gave him a nice tip.
