What peeves me are (mostly supermarkets) stores where you need to be part of their "loyalty" program in order to get the advertised sale price. Not a member, tough luck. Shaw's stores here take that one step further and require you to go online and reserve sale items in advance (or do so thru a cellphone aap) to get the sale price.When grocery shopping, and something you want has a “sale” sign on it like “buy two, save $2”, and as you ring the first one up, a discount of $1 shows up on the register (so you get the discount on each one; not required to buy two to get the discount).
I guess a peeve of mine is people who continually harp on how much better life is in Europe vs the U.S. No matter what it is, we're doing it wrong.I'm fed up with being told how much I should tip.
What the hell is it with tipping?
If the service is good I'll tip. I don't care to be told how much and no matter the service.
I'm too old to be guilted into doing things I don't like.
Go to European countries where the restaurant staff are paid a decent wage and tipping is not needed.
You know where you stand right from the get go.
That having been said, I likewise dislike restaurants with "suggested" tips right on the tab. Even for take-out. And it seems last few years the minimum acceptable tip has increased to 20%.
