It is awful when you feel obligated to tip, even if no actual service is provided. The whole machine tip deal needs to end! I only tip with cash!

I dislike being "guilted" into leaving a tip if it is not applicable.

If you don't provide a service like serving the food in a restaurant you shouldn't get tipped! Let people decide IF they want to tip, trying to force them by setting the % is counter productive and shameful trying to make the customer feel bad!

Tips are regarded for the service that is provided to the customer not because you had a server. It starts from the time you arrive until the time you finish your visit. Greeting, table, silverware, dishes, cups, food ordered, food received, temperature of food, quality of food. etc.

Tipping was for good service. Now it's expected no matter what. Now you have to manually change tipping options when you order online. Why should I tip then? They are doing nothing.

I will tip generously for excellent food and table service. Neither of which can be found at most places in Bend these days. 15% has always been the standard, more for outstanding performance. Tipping for drive through or take out, no.

Drive throughs and places where you're just picking up a to go order shouldn't be asking for a tip. I tip waiters, or my hairdresser for a SERVICE preformed. Tips shouldn't be considered part of a persons hourly wage.

Businesses are actually being hurt by extorting customers for tips, making it less likely for some customers to return. Why not just include a flat service fee on the bill included in the price quoted in advance? Many restaurants are taking that route to ensure their servers receive a fair tip.

Get rid of tipping. Pay your staff enough that they don't need to get tips

Leaving tips is just a way that the corporations can lessen the employees pay and use the tips as part of their hourly wage! Giving the corporate more money in their pockets and a way out for not paying their hard working employees the full amount of their earnings! Taxes take out way too much now!

It is very awkward, especially when tips screen comes up in a non service type of business. Tips should be on service received at a restaurant, not a pizza place for example. I mean tipping when you just ordered something is absurd,

Beginning to look like the city wants to be a mini Portland. Not what Central Oregon is all about.

Piping the canals to conserve water is the logical next step. Where does Commissioner Adair think the wildlife got a drink before the canals were made over 100 years ago? I will admit reducing Junipers and reinvigorating our wild grasslands makes sense.

The canals were not put in as "water features" for people's backyards. Build your own water feature and pay for the water. This water is meant for agriculture.

Commission Adair, where do you think wildlife get water when irrigation water is off Oct-March? Please share your plan and funding strategy for removing 5 million juniper trees. What will happen to the wildlife that live in those trees. Your argument is weak.

Wildlife has relied on these open canals for decades. There is no other option for critter water.
