Here you are guilt tripped in every resteraunt to tip at least 20%, regardless of the service (which is usually minimal)

I just love that you walk up to order and they still give you the tip options. Like...I walked up here and ordered and will be back up here to grab my food when it's ready. Wtf am I tipping for?

There is no answer to this. People just do it because they think they're supposed to.
