Everyone wants a tip now
Not sure what is up with that
I understand tipping the servers
But now it is tip for tat
It seems in America
We've reached the tipping point
It is trendy to requests tips now
At almost every service joint
Those few questions they ask
I have now come to dread
They even ask us for tips
At Chipotle and Panera Bread
It's happening everywhere
All across our great nation
We have become the victims
Of this dreaded tip-flation
Yes it has become annoying
It borders on the absurd
We have finally reached
The tip of the iceberg
Are there really a "few" questions
Look I have a suggestion
Maybe they should just say one
Because there's only "one" question
Tips before I get my coffee
Even if they are not fast
Soon they will even want tips
Before I pump my gas
Even staying at a hotel
I find an envelope in my room
I'm guessing it's for tipping
That I can safely assume
Can someone please tell me
Is it my tipping duty
Do I need to give a tip
For a $12 smoothie
If you go to see a movie
And order a $10 popcorn
They will expect a tip for that
Or you might endure their scorn
I went to a Pacers game
I saw the new tipping model
They petitioned me for a tip
When I bought a water bottle
I heard of a car that broke down
The poor guy was out of luck
He was even asked for a tip
When he paid for the tow truck
Soon they will be asking me
For tips when I see the dentist
I have heard of some places asking
For tips for the hygienist
The elephant in the room
We really cannot ignore
How about these employers
Just pay their employees more
With all this stupid tipping
We have gone off the rails
Now there is no going back
They have forever tipped the scales
