Tipping. Here's my take. Unless I'm seated at a table, and a server takes my order and brings it to me, I don't tip. if I'm ordering at a counter or kiosk, no tip. Tips are for good service provided by generally underpaid waitstaff, not someone doing the job they were hired to do, and getting a standard hourly rate to do it.

Late charge? What is the bonus for being early? My former cardiologist started the same thing. I asked if the policy was both ways, the gal out front got pissed and raised her voice and shared her bad attitude with me. When doc cam in an hour after my appointment was scheduled he was a bit snippy. Done, no more. He is part of a large group of cardiologist. I will be talking to one of the owners.

I hear you about the kiosk asking for a tip. I get groceries delivered, and there is an option when ordering to include a tip. I have no idea whether the delivery driver actually gets the tip or not, and if so it's probably included in their paychecks with taxes taken out. I've been putting cash in an envelope and hanging it on my door for them when I get the "Your Delivery Is Next" notification. A tip is between me and the actual service provider. The company doesn't get it's hands in that pie.
