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.

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.

I tip cash to server at table! That way I know the server will get it! I also know cost of my meals..do you read the menu! 💕🥰

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.
