Some guy tipped me ten dollars in quarters, and I’m still trying to figure out what kind of person thinks that’s acceptable. I just finished a DoorDash order, and he casually mentions he forgot to tip in the app—which, fine, not ideal, whatever. Then he dramatically pulls out a literal roll of quarters like he’s handing me the crown jewels.
He looks me dead in the eye and says,
“Sorry man, I didn’t tip on the app, this is all I’ve got.”
Yeah, thanks. I love holding a handful of coins like it’s 1998. I don’t use change. I’m not a parking meter. I’m not walking around with rolls of quarters or dumping them into a Coinstar just to get the money I already earned. I took it because arguing over coins isn’t how I planned to spend my day, but that doesn’t make it okay.
Tipping in quarters is peak absurdity. Tip in the app, tip in bills, tip digitally—literally anything that doesn’t involve me schlepping around loose metal. Acting like this is normal? Pure comedy. And yes, no one should ever think a pocketful of coins counts as a tip.
@ZenRasta47@BarackObama@MichelleObama In Chicago we don’t hate ketchup. Just ketchup on hot dogs. This goes back to the fact that ketchup was often used to cover up the taste of poor quality meats. Since Chicago hot dogs are made with high quality meats there was no need. Therefore, no ketchup on hot dogs!
.@MichelleObama took on the role of First Lady with grace and authenticity, lighting up every room she walked into. In her new book, The Look, Michelle reflects on her own style journey — from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago, to our eight years in the White House, to today. It's a beautiful reflection of the woman I love inside and out, and well worth a read.
