I've eaten at a lot of local places lately -not fast food- where you order at the counter, then pay and are asked for a tip (on the machine you swipe yourself) while the clerk stares at you. Then you pick up your own food, get your own drink and silverware, and are directed to clean up your own mess.
My personal tipping policy is as follows. If you ask, even once, you won't get one. If I wish to tip, it will never be on my card, but it will be in cash, discrete, and more often than not, generous.
Ahhh. . . This perfectly explains why any furniture configuration in my house must (shall) include a recliner. And look at The Bunny of Exuberance in such a prime spot. The only thing missing is perhaps a piece of blueberry pie.
If you watch "The Twilight Zone," you might notice the strange lighting Serling used. Everything is evenly lit. No shadows even outside. He got that from Binghamton. The cloud cover was frequently so thick and diffused the sunlight so much that there were no shadows, no sunrise, no sunset.
You just brought back a long forgotten happy memory. I loved black walnut ice cream. Wondering if that "earthy" flavor came from the use of black walnut extract in addition to the black walnuts. I dunno but I just snooped around Amazon and those ingredients are of course available so I'm gonna put this on my recipe to do list.
