I really don't like situations where tipping isn't historically done (e.g., counter service at a fast food place) where they spin the screen around to you, look you in the eye, and tell you, please "hit one of the buttons." It's even more annoying when the options are "20%, 25% and 30%" and you have to do a custom "0.00." I just would rather not have to personally and actively say, "no tip for you" -- particularly when someone in back is still assembling my food.

I do sometimes tip people in those situations who provide particularly good service...but I end up going through that awkward dance of trying to make sure they're looking my direction when I put the money in the jar.

Reminds me of a scene from Seinfeld where Kramer (I think it was him) puts a tip into the jar just as the server turns away. Then he tries to retrieve it to do it again in the presence of the server, but this time he is literally caught with his hand in the jar. Great scene.

I just re watched that episode. George and it’s the Calzone restaurant for Steinbrenner’s lunch.

Thanks for the correction. It was hilarious, wasn't it?
