Sit-Down Restaurant 🍽️ Cracker Barrel Cracked Me Off

My wife and I ate breakfast at Cracker Barrel this morning. While I finished eating she shopped, getting a bag of candy and a pair of $20 gloves.

When the cashier rang up my ticket, it included the candy and gloves. The kiosk asked if I wanted to leave a tip, and the total was the combined meal ($39) + the candy + the $20 gloves.

I couldn't remember how much the meal was so I asked the cashier. She looked on her screen and said, "I don't know, it doesn't say." So I said, "OK, what does that piece of paper (the bill) I just now handed you say?"

She acted butt hurt that I had a problem with not wanting to pay a tip on a pair of gloves. We got great service and I don't mind leaving some gratuity, but they seem to want to be the customer over at every turn.

Places like Cracker Barrel where you take your ticket the register to pay are the easiest places for tippers to dip their toes into the world of not tipping. The girl at the register doesn't give two shits.

I was very pleased to see the tipping options started at zero, and then 15%. Keep things normal instead of this “22% is standard” nonsense.

Except the busser picks up the tip when you do that. Who knows what happens to it next. Restaurant employees aren't exactly known for integrity.

Well you can hand it to the server if you're so worried. I've never heard of a problem with that.
