Lately I find myself tipping fast food employees.
Fast food employees work harder than people working at fancy restaurants. But the society says "No, don't tip the fast food employees." I am beginning to empathize for fast food employees.
Last 2 times, when I was at Carl's Jr., I saw 2 different people cleaning tables. So, I left my trash and a tip on the table and walked away.
Of course, some of the fast food employees are jackasses. But I often see hard working people trying to make minimum wages.
When I'm at fancy restaurants, I leave tips because that's the rule. Last time when I was at a fancy restaurant, I had a miserable time. But I still had to give the waiter $20.00 tip. I am still sick to my stomach about that tip.
I tip fast food employees because I feel for them. I want them to know that there are strangers in the world wishing good luck for them.
This must be a sign of getting old.
When I was young, I used to daydream about becoming a hired killer.

Have you seen "Reservoir Dogs"? They have a nice bit about tipping.
Here's the video clip.
