I’m traveling to Denver in February. Maybe an intervention is necessary.

The girl who cuts my hair owns the shop. I tip her because my wife tells me I have to and because she’s a friend. But I genuinely don’t know why. I’m paying her rate for her service. She could charge $5 more and say no tips, and I’d be fine with it.
I have almost made the “mistake” of giving a massive tip because of this. I was somewhere over the summer that was something like 20%, 30%, and 40%. I almost tipped nothing because of that absurdity.
Is anyone else looking forward to hearing @Tron come to terms with Fields’ “high level traits” starting to show why he’s the best qb in that class? Alllll the Trevor patience and none for a guy in just as bad a scenario year 1?

I’m puzzled by some of the outrage over suggested tip amounts. If you don’t like them, there’s always a custom option. Which can also be zero (don’t be a scumbag, of course). We don’t have to let the machines win here, there is still some agency in the ol’ brain.

I always go get my son a donut every sunday morning and for about 2 years now Custard Long John is the only one he’ll have. Theres a whole world of donuts out there, but I cant say hes wrong.

@Randy is unequivocally correct about Krispy Kreme. I remember as a child traveling to Phoenix for sports and being so excited about a hot Krispy Kreme. I believe now that 12 year old boys are the ideal customer for Krispy Kreme given their undeveloped frontal lobes and lack of palate. Can I appreciate it for what it was? For sure. As a grown up, I can now appreciate that it’s not that good.

@Randy is brave for speaking the truth.

Randy’s right on donuts because I’ve never had a Hot, Fresh Krispy kreme donut. After a baker’s dozen of chances they still can’t figure it out? Shameful.
I’ll stick with Shipley and the neighborhood hole in the wall, y’all enjoy your mediocre yeast donuts

I will argue that an apple fritter from my local shop (Bosa’s, Las Cruces, NM) after a night shift in actually the best “donut” in the world.

I think the outrage is that the POS systems are designed purposefully to make you feel bad by suggesting gigantic tip amounts. It should always be a custom option, don’t tell us "I expect a 20, 25, or 30% tip. As a default, let the customer decide the amount.

Hell yeah. Donut shop in my hometown is run by a family that escaped the killing fields in Cambodia. Amazing donuts. Not the original owners, so its called Knapps, but its fantastic.

I’d also taken them over any kind of bougie hipster donut spot too.
You know them from the name: Top Donut, Donut Star, A1 Donut… list goes on.

I do the same with my barber, he knows exactly what I want and knows I hate small talk so he just gets it over with. 30% tip every time.
They went from $20 to $23 with the idea in mind that everyone will tip $7 instead of $2 which felt weird to me but it didn’t affect me so I didn’t care.
That’s why I used my qualifier of being mass produced. I’d go to our local bakery first before hitting up KK but I still think KK is a good donut.

I didn’t have Krispy Kreme until I was in college, I still remember thinking “that’s it?” when I first tried the donut.

In college our fraternity house was close enough to a Krispy Kreme to see when the Hot sign was on. Few things made us stoners happier than the hot sign coming on and scrounging up change from the sofas (we also found contraband sometimes which was also cool) to get some hot Krispy Kreme’s.
