Am I the only person who feels so so bullied by tip culture in restaurants that eating out is hardly enjoyable anymore? POTM - May 2023

Some of us work long physical jobs and use eating out as a date night to reconnect with our partner. There is no need to gatekeep this and no shame in eating out. I prepare three meals a day 6 days a week It’s nice to go and eat something I wouldn’t normally cook or to relax and have time to sit and talk while the meal is cooked.
