I just noticed this at Sub Crazy in Meredith. Something new they're doing or a new system they have. I thought it was quite annoying. It was also uncomfortable hitting the skip button with the employee staring at you. Wonder if he spit in my sub?

Should not be anymore uncomfortable than having a tip jar on the counter and not making a contribution

There's definitely a difference--one is passive, one is active; one *appears* to be expected, one does not.

Correct but in both cases you are in front of the employee at the counter and they know immediately if you are or are not tipping them

Hah...you’ll never know will you? Either way, if any employee ever got caught doing that he/she might regret it. There are cameras everywhere but if you choose to eat out, it’s a risk you take. I do tip and make sure someone sees me put cash in the jar...I also say out loud “ a little something for you!”

Years back, we used to frequent Elvio's regularly; this past week, we ordered two large pizzas and they were just OK; cold, light on the sauce and generally disappointed by the quality; just not what we remembered. I know we'll give them another shot because everyone can have an off experience. Truth is we have never tried Piccolos, we will now and compare the two.

Here's hoping Elvio's can restore their once incredible pizza and together, they and Piccolos can compete for bragging rights for the best Pizza in Moultonborough.

Wishing both good luck and success.

When in Center Harbor/Moultonborough I would not go anywhere but Piccolo’s.
Why even “try” a newcomer when you KNOW the quality of the Piccolo product?
I travel a good distance when I get the Piccolo craving!
