    Tip creep is getting ridiculous and it’s being laundered as pro worker, to boot.

    Misfits Market, a grocery delivery service, sent out an email either early this year or late last year, about how you can now tip their delivery drivers!
    Yay, show them your appreciation!

    They were far less upfront about the fact that they gave them a 33% pay cut and are leaning on the tips (which are confusing to opt out of) to pick up the slack.

      Wait, you can like “hold” a door open? What, with your hand? I’m European and I’ve literally never heard about that. I thought slamming doors straight in other people’s faces was a universal thing. Learn a new thing every day.

      I kid, of course. But for real, what makes you think of door-holding as a uniquely American thing?
