Point of sale extortion. You must tip or risk getting an ugly glare, incompetent service, delayed food, cold food, etc... It is part and parcel of the general breakdown in civility after Covid. You don't have to go far online to see videos of thieves blatantly walking out of stores. Petty crime has gone up everywhere. Speeding cars are everywhere. Demanding crowds are everywhere.

COVID tended to reduce crime rates simply because fewer people were personally interacting overall.
