When I saw that ad I thought it was cheaper to pay $3 for customers to pick up their pizza than pay the drivers to deliver it ...

I love the "plot twists" of this article, how it puts tipping into context and in particular how you put into words two concepts I struggle with as a customer:

- "tipping is [...] designed to subjugate others": I hate tipping because I have the feeling I'm humiliating others, which I of course don't want to do, but I understand tips are necessary so I try to get over it as fast as possible.

- "tipping is [...] about how a person feels at the time": In the beginning someone told me tipping is discretionary and should be proportional to how well I was treated, but I learned how wrong this is and standardized my tips to avoid any bias.
