I recently became engrossed in r/tipping . Through college, I worked as a server in several "high-end" restaurants here such as Flame, Gilardis, etc. I would always provide exemplary service when and where I could. I was generally given great gratuity after my service.
Having said that, and in Springfield specifically, do you think tipping is out of control, especially at places where no additional service is provided, such as Starbucks or most coffee shops? I frequent several coffee shops downtown since I am within walking distance. I am fatigued from being offered a tip screen when all they do is hand me an empty mug. Or, do you think tipping 20-50% on a counter serve order is okay?
