Customer Stiffs Dine-In Movie Theatre Waiter Because He Served Them While They Were Crying
There is a lot of contentious discourse about tipping these days. I believe there’s some merit to the idea that you should not have to tip after every transaction.

Restaurant Openly Admits They Steal Tips From Their Employees, Gets Shut Down
There’s evil, and then there’s restaurants stealing tips from their employees. Restaurants already don’t pay their workers enough to live on most of the time.
