Just finished a DoorDash delivery and I’m honestly sitting here shaking my head. Like do people seriously think $20 is some life changing tip where you gotta leave me a note along with the tip saying “hope this was enough” 🤦🏽‍♂️

Drove across town, dealt with traffic, waited at the restaurant while they took forever finishing the order, and then had to find this person’s apartment in one of those complexes where NONE of the buildings are labeled clearly.

Finally get the food to the door… and the customer left a $20 tip.

Now before everyone jumps down my throat yes, I saw it. Yes, I know some people think that’s “good.”

But when you actually break it down with gas, time, wear on your car, waiting around at restaurants, and driving all the way across town… it really isn’t what people think it is.

People think throwing $20 on an order automatically means the driver should be doing backflips with gratitude, but they don’t see the hour it took to complete the delivery or the miles put on the car just to make it happen.

Meanwhile people ordering food expect VIP service, constant updates, perfect timing, hot food, and their door found in a maze of apartment buildings but drivers are supposed to just smile and accept whatever comes through the app like it’s the greatest thing ever.

Maybe I’m the only one who feels this way, but sometimes it feels like people don’t realize how much actually goes into these deliveries.

Next time maybe tip accordingly and leave out the little sorry note

Earlier today at Walmart I noticed a guy just asleep in his car in the parking lot, taking up one of the regular parking spots.

I ended up mentioning it to a couple of the associates because people were clearly trying to find parking and go into the store. Meanwhile this guy was just sitting there passed out in his vehicle.

I honestly don’t understand how that’s allowed. Parking lots are meant for customers who are coming and going — not for someone to park there for hours and treat it like a place to sleep while everyone else drives around looking for an open spot.

It’s kind of ridiculous that store management even has to deal with stuff like that, but something needs to be done because it really shouldn’t be considered acceptable.

I found $100 in a tiny shoulder bag I thrifted, and now the store owner is demanding I give it back.

I posted a photo of the cash in a local thrift group just to share the excitement—you never expect to actually find anything in those pockets. But the owner saw my post and messaged me immediately. Said I should return it because it belongs to the store.

Here's the thing: when I asked him to describe the bag, he couldn't. Didn't know the color, the size, the brand, nothing. Yet he's insisting that "returning it would be the right thing to do." As if vague moral obligation outweighs the fact that I paid for the bag fair and square, as-is, with no signs anywhere saying "if you find money, it still belongs to us."

Multiple people who work in thrift stores commented that items go through sorters, pricers, and hangers—several pairs of hands that could have checked pockets. The bag was processed, tagged, and sold. One woman said she found eight hundred dollars in thrifted pants once, didn't say a word, but donated two hundred to an animal rescue to balance the karma.

Now I'm torn. It's not like I stole it. I bought the bag. The money was inside. The owner can't even prove it's from his store specifically, yet he has the nerve to guilt trip me about "doing the right thing" while simultaneously admitting he has no idea what bag I'm talking about.

Am I wrong for wanting to keep the money since I purchased the bag as-is with no conditions, or should I give it back to a store owner who can't even describe the item I bought from him? What would you do?

This one might actually be the least confusing restaurant receipt I’ve seen in a long time… which is exactly why it feels like a winner.

The subtotal was $75.50.
Then they added a 16% fee for $12.08.
Tax was $9.41.
Final total: $96.99.

And then, in giant all-caps energy, the receipt says:

“WE ARE A NO TIPPING ESTABLISHMENT”

Honestly? That one sentence changes the whole vibe.

Because this is what people have been begging restaurants to do for years:
if you want to add a built-in charge, just be clear about it.
If tipping isn’t expected, say it plainly.
If the service is already covered, don’t leave people standing there doing receipt algebra and social anxiety at the same time.

That’s why this stands out.

Normally when people see a fee added to the bill, the immediate reaction is:
“Okay… so is this the tip?”
“Is this separate from the tip?”
“Am I still supposed to leave 20%?”
“Is the server going to be mad if I don’t?”
“Is this one of those fake-not-fake service charges?”

But here?
They actually answered the question.

A 16% fee is built in, and they’re directly telling you they are a no tipping establishment. No passive-aggressive suggested gratuity box. No extra blank line trying to squeeze more out of you after already adding a charge. No awkward little dance where the customer has to guess what counts and what doesn’t.

And I’m not gonna lie, that kind of transparency feels almost revolutionary now.

Because compare this to all the other receipts people post:
living wage fees, kitchen fees, employee wellness fees, service charges that somehow aren’t tips, security charges, and then a second round of guilt right underneath. That’s what makes people angry — not always the money itself, but the confusion.

This one at least picks a lane.

You may or may not love the 16% fee.
Some people will still say, “Just raise menu prices instead.”
Fair.
Others will say, “I’d rather see the charge clearly and know I’m done.”
Also fair.

But at minimum, this receipt is doing something a lot of places refuse to do:
it tells you what the system is before you’re expected to play guessing games with your wallet.

A $75.50 meal becoming $96.99 after a 16% fee and tax is still a jump, sure.
But if that really means no extra tip expected, then this might actually be one of the cleaner versions of the whole restaurant-fee mess.

So now I’m curious what people think.

Is this actually the winner because they were upfront and made it clear they’re no tipping…
or does adding a 16% fee still feel like the same game with better wording?

Am I tripping or is this what every place with a mandatory charge should look like?

We went out to dinner with a group of five, and by the end of the night the bill was right around $577 and change. When it came time to pay, we left a $60 tip because we felt like that was a fair amount and wanted to leave something extra for the service.

What I didn’t expect was the server making a comment that she was expecting closer to $120.

And no, it didn’t come across like some light little joke either. The tone felt serious, the moment got awkward fast, and suddenly we were standing there feeling uncomfortable over a tip we had already chosen to leave in the first place.

When we pushed back and mentioned possibly talking to a manager, that’s when the story suddenly changed to “I was just kidding.” But let’s be real — not every rude comment magically becomes a joke just because someone gets called out on it.

The whole thing left us feeling weird and honestly kind of embarrassed, because we weren’t trying to short anybody. We tipped what we thought was reasonable, and being confronted like that completely changed the vibe of the night.

So now I’m curious — was $60 on a $577 bill really that unreasonable, or would most people also think asking for $120 was way out of line?

TO THE PEOPLE SAYING “it’s not that different”… explain this.

Same car.
Same tank.
Same routine.

Left receipt was $48.
Right receipt is $102.

Nothing changed except the price.

That’s not a small jump. That’s literally double just to drive.

And people are still acting like this is normal?

This is the kind of thing that slowly drains people every week. Getting to work, buying groceries, just living life. No upgrade, no added value, just paying more for the same exact thing.

But yeah… “it’s not that bad.”

So which one actually looks normal to you, $48 or $102? And at what point do you say enough is enough?

During spring gardening, keep this effective tip in mind to catch ticks:
1. Wrap tape around your ankles with the sticky side facing out.
2. This is how you catch ticks trying to climb up your legs.

Everyone’s standing there with their mouths open like it’s a crime, but look at the parking stall. These AT&T lots are clearly designed for tiny imports, not a truck that actually has a purpose. You put a Tremor in a spot with zero clearance and this is what happens. It’s not even driver error, it’s a blind spot issue with the factory sensors. Honestly, it’s a safety hazard to even be a customer at this location. I’m canceling my plan effective today, I’m not giving my money to a company that doesn't accommodate their own vehicles.

Was at Walmart earlier just picking up a few things and saw something at the self-checkout that I had to look at twice to make sure I was seeing it right.

The guy in front of me had a shirt on and nothing else except what I can only describe as a full adult diaper, and he was just standing there scanning his groceries like everything was completely normal.

Nobody around him reacted at all, the employee nearby didn't say anything, everyone just went about their day like this was a regular Tuesday.

I don't really know what the situation was and I'm not going to assume, but the complete calm from everyone in that checkout area including the man himself is something I keep thinking about.

Walmart never fails.

walked in and right there on the counter—big sign talking about “tipping is part of my rent” and minimum 25% expected… like hold on, BEFORE I even order?? y’all already telling me what I gotta pay extra??

I stood there reading it twice cause ain’t no way. tipping used to be if the service was good, you show love. now it’s basically mandatory just to exist in the place. that don’t even feel like appreciation no more, that feel forced.

and don’t get me wrong, I tip. I’m not cheap. but this right here?? this feel backwards. why am I responsible for covering rent through tips instead of the job paying right in the first place?? now I’m walking in already feeling pressured before I even taste anything.

whole vibe was off after that. felt less like “come enjoy” and more like “pay up or don’t bother.” I almost turned around right there cause ain’t nobody about to tell me what I HAVE to tip before I even get service.
