Restaurants too. you need 2 subs at Subway to feel full. you can eat an entire pizza at Dominos.

WTF did they do to the bread?

What's the matter? Do you find it displeasing when Subway counts the olives, lettuce pieces, and rotten frozen tomatoes? Why anyone would choose to eat at that filthy Subway store is beyond me. In Toronto, a cold cut sandwich now costs $13 before tip.

The one's around me tried doing the counting thing for a bit. 2 of them are now closed, and the other one's let you put whatever toppings you want now. We didn't put up with that shit, and it changed.

Also, who tf tips at subway?

Those of us who realize the workers tend to be those unable to get anything better, even if they are trying (see: ex-convicts) and understand that $9/hr ain't a living wage

I hope you're giving the employees cash, otherwise you're probably just giving the store a couple of extra bucks that the employees likely never see.

My wife worked at one. Cash tips are definitely best as they aren't officially taxed, but after taxes the employees do see every cent of digital taxes inside their paychecks. One biweekly paycheck was ~$50 more in tips alone for her. That was while her manager went on extended "medical" leave for an entire month and a half, leaving her, only one month into employment, fielding the lunch rush solo 3-4 days a week.

Not my job to subsidize their wage either. The more people are willing to tip, the less likely wages will be raised.
