I wouldn’t tip when ordering a sandwich at a counter. That’s why I take offense at Mamalehs dishonesty.

Do you tip the cashier at Home Depot? How about the receptionist at your doctors office? Then why the person who makes a sandwich?

Don’t get me wrong - I always tip 20%-25% at a restaurant. I tip my barber 30%. But those people put an extensive effort into giving me great service and I choose to thank them in that way. Forcing tips when one is otherwise underpaying their employees is bogus. What’s worse is they don’t tell you until you see it in your receipt.

My favorite part about going out in Boston/Somerville/Cambridge is that there is ALWAYS some drunk transplant from like...Cleveland...who has the most absurdly out of touch, neighborhood-locked takes, because theyve only lived here for all of < 2 years, and have no car/have barely left their neighborhood ever.

"Its just so wild to me that theres literally nowhere in the Boston area that serves _______ food!"

Sir, what?
