Give the love to those service people?
Or
Save those freedom fighters?

Square and other devices are asking for tips now everywhere.

I generally don’t tip if all that’s happening is the same kind of transaction in the pre-Square days. And do if I’m getting service. And it’s good.

At least I’m not like my grandpa who would give a quarter for every time they offered to refill water :-)
