My parents were in CO week before last and they experienced a tipping trend they had never seen before. Many of the places they ate at swipe your card at the table on a tablet, not unusual. After you swipe the tipping percentages pop up. The first options to choose from were 40%, 50% and 60%, with "other" being down at the bottom. You had to hit "other" to get to the next page that had the less than 40% options. They said it was super awkward hitting other while the server held the tablet and glared at you for not giving them half the value of the meal in tips.I can't imagine ever giving a 25% tip for takeout. But that is funny.
