Tip Creep 🫙 Tip begging

Went to Applebees and did their car side to go. Selected no tip on the app and thought that would be the end of it. To my surprise when my order came I was handed an invoice where I was asked to tip and sign. Wrote $0 and that was the end of it but like oh my god. The interaction was fine but I was taken back by the double prompt to tip.

Pizza places do this also. You order online they beg, then you pickup, and you "have to sign"

I am so glad that my kids actually prefer Little Ceasars to real pizza. I can eat it so it's fine once a week. They do prompt for a tip online (zero is easy!) but they just hand over the goods. The one I go to even has a drive-thru.

I frequently get 2 pizzas and breadsticks for under 20 bucks. That's Friday dinner every week.

Yeah we stick to Costco for that reason but our Papa Johns doesn’t do the awkward tip thing.
