A reader is struggling with her boyfriend and mother’s refusal to tip for carside meal service, which bothers her due to her work in the food industry. The advice is to offer a couple of dollars as a tip directly to the server, separate from the bill her boyfriend or mother is paying. If this causes conflict, she should drop the issue, as arguing is unproductive when they are paying. The author emphasizes letting go of worrying about others’ opinions and enjoying the meal.
