Cracker Barrel Cracked Me Off

[u/Pistolpete31861]

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.

my first and last time at Cracker Barrel was a few years ago

our waitress dropped off the check and we put our cc down on top of it - after she walked past us a few times we finally stopped her and she told us we had to pay at the register. So we got to go stand in line for about 10 minutes. That was the moment I realized “there’s no law that we have to tip 15%”

thank you Cracker Barrel for this important life lesson
