You never miss an opportunity to poo poo post, eh?

I spent quite a bit of time in Japan where tipping can be actually offensive, turns out norms are pretty flexible, fishmech. Tipping at a Chipotle is very wierd to me and I'm sure many others.

It'd be weird if management at a Japanese McDonald's then decided to include a tip line unless their aim was to directly insult employees.

Well yeah, but I'm not talking about Japanese McD's. I'm just using that as an example that tipping isn't the same everywhere, including the different regions of the US.

I'm genuinely curious though, because it's not established at McD's to tip. So if they started adding a tip line, would he tip? That seems really weird to me if he did.

Why? McDonald's employees are probably more in need of a tip given that they are likely making less than what an employee at any other higher end fast food would be making.

I don't see what point you are trying to make though. If the receipt doesn't have a tip line then I don't see anyone adding it themselves.

What if there's no line, but a Jar?

I don't tip at any place where I do the bussing and bring my food to the table.
Even if they don't do it for that time (like take-out)

I guess though I don't carry cash but judging from the "pennies for leukemia kids" jars McDonald's likes to have I doubt they'll get much.

If you yourself don't tip fine but generally they are appreciated. "Thank you for trading my paper currency for life saving beef patties".

But do I tip at a bar & grill when I'm picking up take-out from the bartender? She has to go get the food and ring me up, after all.

Depending on the place those get split among the house, the person that took the order and took it to the kitchen, the people that made the food, packaged it up, and then rang you up.

Not quite what I wanted. I was hoping for a fine of $1000 which would double every day until she caved. This just makes her a martyr for bigots.

It makes it more dramatic certainly but she is going to be played as a victim regardless.

At least this way the office is able to function with her out of the way.

Though my understanding is someone in her office would be made "Acting Clerk" and carry on her duties until she is no longer incapacitated.

Let's take this a little more local for another game of "which two republican lawmakers are having affairs together!"

This time in Minnesota. Two lawmakers (both on the loving ETHICS COMMITTEE) were caught by a park ranger making out in the parking lot of a national park and where cited. When confronted with this evidence, what's their first instinct? Accuse the loving ranger of lying. When they finally decided to come clean, they apologized not to the ranger but instead to law enforcement as a whole.

It wouldn't surprise me if they expect Hillary will be the nominee and having Fiorina will take away the idea that the other's nominee could be the first woman president. GOP wants to win by changing itself as much as it can without actually changing itself.
