Don't be shocked if you do, everyone is getting in on it. Hell seeing this today I might as well make a tip jar to carry around.

I hope you got your change. Hell if I would have known beforehand would have paid him in quarters too.

well we have a bunch of people on here who can't differentiate from homophobia and a general insult so why bother.

Lol wut? I've never hears "zesty" used as a homophobic slur in my life.

So you'd do custom tip in this case and enter 50 cents on the pad?

I don't think Burger King allows tipping either so they were probably just straight up robbing you and hoping the ensuing awkwardness would stop you from pointing it out.

A mechanic shop asking for tip blows my fucking mind! I'm half expecting to see a tip jar at my doctor's office next time I get a physical.

lol and you're too afraid to even admit it

I usually round up to the dollar

Symposium Books in Providence will ask you to tip (at least last time I was there a few months ago) when purchasing books. I paid via debit card on the iPad and they had the option to tip up to 20%. I thought maybe this was an error and just how the payment system was set up but then I noticed they had a cash tip jar as well! I did not tip as I think being asked to tip on books, especially new books is bonkers. Also, I went to a smoke shop (they did not sell weed) to buy a vaporizer and they asked for up to a 25% on a $50 vape. Simply for scanning and handing me the box. Get.the.fuck.out!

I go to UG almost every day. It’s only a couple blocks away, so super convenient, but very limiting. I bought a can of mandarin oranges and my only option was $5. I was shocked, but also in a pinch. We don’t shop there for most groceries. It’s to expensive and the options can be limiting. Meat also seems to be more expensive and also limited on what available. For a while the only ground beef was frozen, which I thought was odd.

Produce and vegetables are nice though, along with milk and eggs and other staples. I do really appreciate them for that.

I think they should focus more on trying to be peoples small neighborhood, quick stop grocery store instead of wanting to be peoples go to.

I’ll be sad if it leaves, but I feel like asking for 50k and not saying what improvements you’ll make is sketchy. At least tell us what it’ll be used for. Definitely worried about another Bucktown situation.

If you're tipping the same percentage each time won't it be the same amount whether you're buying them separately or together?

How much am I supposed to tip a coffee shop for pouring me $3.50 coffee? Are they like a bartender now .. buck a beer, buck a coffee?

For context, RI's tipped minimum wage is $3.89/hour. It was last increased in 2017.

Agreed. Most likely a protest or a vigil would not even rate compared to real riots. Providence is more likely to have a bunch of Brown University undergrads running around with signs, not, like, flipping over cars.

At a parking lot, gave the park attendant a $20 for a $15 parking fee, he asked if we wanted change. He wasn't a valet, he stood there for us to pay him to park.

I would guess in front of the capitol building. It's the easiest place to do it.

Yes with my Inspector Gadget disguise.

so you've staked the place out and sat there open to close over a sample size of several weeks each, i take it?

Certainly. And omg I went to north once and then it closed down. Sucks because it was so good and not overly pretentious like I find a lot of modern restaurants to be

Wendy's or whatever basic decent service is to be expected, not coming here for 5 star wine and dine service.

This one particular Wendy's without the kiosk and understaff serve a volume equal to Providence. It's not in the middle of nowhere.

There's also a Taco Bell not far from here that has 2 kiosk and nowhere near the volume of Providence outside of lunch time hours. Good service as well.

I've seen a flyer about something at Burnside Park tonight. Riots? Not so much.

Even though the one riot Providence had was absolutely planned to be exactly that, most riots aren't really planned and announced in advance.

>I'm surprised my obgyn doesn't hand me a tip tablet before I leave the office.

Shit Dr. Baker on Little House On The Prairie used to get livestock and other items for his " services "

Not to debate tipping as I feel its totally up to the individual but it seems like anyone and everyone with their hand out for this.

I remember when there was a bunch of homeless people toward the Marriot off ramp begging for money, I was like fuck that I might as well get mines and I'll be honest with my sign out too.

I love it here
