My neighbor Dave said he never tips delivery drivers
We were talking in the parking lot of our apartment building in Springfield last Tuesday, and he said it with a shrug. I've always thought of myself as a decent person, but I realized I've stiffed a few drivers myself when I was short on cash... it felt weird hearing my own excuse come from someone else. Has anyone else had a moment like that, where you see your own bad habit in someone and it just hits different?

Used to think it was fine to skip a tip if the service was just okay... but hearing Dave say that out loud made me cringe. @joel_jones, yeah it was right by the dumpsters. Made me realize how often I made excuses for myself. Now I just add a couple bucks to the order total as a set tip before I even check out. It’s easier than deciding in the moment when you’re already counting change.

Right by the dumpsters" is such a specific bad place to hear something like that. I mean, it just adds a whole other layer of awkward. Makes me think of overhearing people argue in weird public spots.
