Some people have such easy lives that this is all they have to complain about. It’s as simple as that. They’ve never served food, they’ve never made minimum wage. They’re just out of touch with how most people live/survive.

I served tables and washed dishes and ran cash registers while getting my EE degree. When I was running a cash register, I didn't ask for a tip when I rung someone up for a coffee or twinkie. I did get tips as wait staff because that's been a tradition for 100+ years in the USA. Don't assume when someone says something that you don't like that they were born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
