    Last time I went to a food truck by my office a very basic lunch was $22. And that was before the machine assumed you should tip 18%.

      Yeah did he say this recently because this is just how much lunch costs now. I’m not happy about it and in the US the tipping culture is more out of hand than ever before but this is largely because employers aren’t paying fair wages. We are all basically just helping each other out, but this is just shuffling money at the bottom of the pyramid while the top pays even less.

      Bro, why aren’t you even meal prepping rice and beans for lunch every day, bro? Eat your porridge peasant.

      You can and should push 0℅ on those unless you were waited on or report them to a local, eager authority if they do an automatic tip.
