All around us we see that as technology advances, the sort of society we live in undergoes transformations as well. Changes are often slow and subtle, and it is only on reflection that you realize that a substantial evolution has taken place. You may have noticed it already and only subconsciously come to realize it. Our society is becoming more and more service oriented. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

And at that same time, these services are being provided with the expectation of the disbursement of some sort of gratuity. This happens with increasing regularity in more situations where it was previously unexpected. Certainly, the social contract was that restaurants and coffee shops are fair game for tips, but bookstores, clothing shops and corner groceries once seemed off limits for that. That is no longer the case. The only certainty is change and keeping ahead of those changes or at least riding the crest of change is the only way forward. And that’s where technology can come to your aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    How do we do it? Volume.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. What sort of personal information does\u00a0Tips Please!<\/strong>\u00a0collect?
    Tips Please!<\/strong>\u00a0collects no personal information and does not communicate with any external servers. It does not review or collect your messages or store them anywhere.

So, you’re pretty much a regular person.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. It sort of seems like I don’t actually get any tips. What\u2019s up with that?
    That\u2019s weird. We\u2019ll surely look into that and get back to you after a thorough investigation. We assure you that the app has be exhaustively tested by at least 3 or 4 passively interested Gen Xers while primarily focused on TikTok videos but intent on not pursuing any valuable job leads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. When will the iOS version be available?
    Our team of expert programmers are hard at work developing a native iOS version of this application so that iPhone users can recoup some of the app store subscription fees they forgot they are still paying.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. I have another question, but I don\u2019t know what it is.
