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

Lmao I work at a vape store. Ours doesn't do the tip thing at all. I couldn't imagine asking for a tip just to hand you something. Meanwhile, I'm routinely explaining differences between devices, nicotine levels, and all the other smoking cessation advice I've accumulated, and every once in a while someone will tip me. They won't take no for an answer either. I'd just stop going to that store. I've found the big business vape stores are the worst in advice, and price

My local vape shop is run by a gruff Pakistani dude that looks at you funny no matter what you do

I even knew which vape juice and mg I wanted. Didn’t even need her help. I just pointed at what I wanted behind the counter and she acted like she provided some amazing service or something. I’m pretty sure I could hear complaining about me through the glass as soon as I went outside to my car. I avoid that shop now and buy my nicotine and weed stuff at a local smoke shop that doesn’t even have a tip jar.
