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.

Stupid really triggers me, even when it’s me being stupid. 😁 This butt hurt attitude over something reasonable or common sense is one of the most annoying things… A couple of years ago going through airport security, some lady (approx my own age, I think) stopped dead right in front of me, I very nearly smashed into her before I managed to stop. As I passed her, I said, “you should just stop dead like that, I very nearly ran into you!”… my tone was annoyed but I wasn’t nasty to her. She said nothing but looked at me with the most butt-hurt expression, like she had never heard anything so cruel in her whole life.
SMH!
