      I guess the issue then is your definition of fast food. I wouldn’t count the majority of those because they’re fast food.

        Well allow me to clarify, then: My definition is cheap junk that is available fast. Many of the restaurants I listed might be fast, but not all of them are cheap processed junk. You can’t call Panera junk, for example.

            Damnit I should have said Flower Child. Regardless, I deleted my comment cause they were bad examples anyway. You’re right. Eat at local restaurants instead of chains if you want healthy. There are plenty where you can walk up to the counter and order without having to tip anyone.

      I guess I missed that you’re intentionally avoiding places with waiters/servers. That’s what I had in mind. I’ve visited plenty of places that don’t have a tip jar out or activate the tipping feature on the credit card machine. I don’t really consider them making progress away from the wild tipping culture we currently have. They just haven’t fallen into the ridiculous yet. I get what you’re saying now.

      Ultimately, nothing’s going to change unless something changes on the state or federal level. My state tried instituting a minimum wage that included waiters, but restaurants put up such a stink that the waiter part got reversed. “We’ll have to raise our prices!” Yeah no shit, but then we won’t pay tip. It theoretically should wash out in the end.
