Fast food workers generally get minimum wage at least, so tipping shouldn’t be required or expected there. It’s mostly servers at restaurants as far as I know.
When I know that the workers are paid less than minimum, I’m pretty much always tipping unless you’re grossly negligent or you are actively mean. You can have a bad disposition, that’s fine. Everyone has bad days, I’ll still tip as long as you’re not directing your unhappiness at me. I just got here, I’m not the thing you’re mad at, so please don’t treat me like I am.
If tipping goes away tomorrow, I’ll be happy. Not just for my pocket book and the pain and frustration I feel staring at menus trying to up all the prices by 15-20% so I know what I’ll actually be paying, but for the workers actually making a decent wage.
We also need to address minimum wage issues, but that’s another matter entirely and affects a much larger group of people.
