1. Not everyone who picks up a delivery places the order themselves. Some are collecting food for someone else who did not include a tip because it is not mandatory.

2. Some people are sick, old or barely surviving on their pensions. They may only order food occasionally to avoid cooking, but they simply don't have the extra money to tip.

3. Some people just don't want to tip, and that's perfectly fine.

4. Entitlement is the root of greed. Expecting people to keep money for you creates a mindset that could lead to theft and, as seen in this case, even violence. Greed and entitlement together are a dangerous mix.

5. Some people really can't afford to tip. These are difficult times and not everyone can afford to have extra money.

6. Some people are just having a bad day. They may not be in the mood to give anything, and that's okay.

7. The tipping culture varies between countries. In some cultures, tipping is not expected or common practice. Expecting everyone to follow the same rules is unreasonable.

8. The cost of the service is already included for some people. Some assume that when they pay for food or delivery, the entire cost, including service, is already covered.

9. A tip is a reward, not a right. It should be viewed as a bonus for exceptional service, not something owed simply because someone is doing their job.

10. Respect for clients is key. Harassing or shaming someone for not tipping doesn't earn you sympathy; it alienates people and creates a hostile environment.

11. There are people who haven't eaten pizza or something like that in months, and maybe it's their birthday, and they want to treat themselves with the little they have.

Now before anyone starts blaming mental illness, this is an adult who knew exactly what she was doing. This wasn't about mental health: it was about greed, privilege, evil and cruelty, plain and simple. Society must stop making excuses. Nobody's life is perfect. We all face challenges in this world and every path we take has consequences, good or bad.

This behavior is a pure reflection of greed, entitlement, evil, and a lack of basic humanity. I hope the victim gets the justice she deserves because what kind of world do we live in? Imagine ordering food and someone stabs you because they weren't happy with the tip. It's crazy.

I know many parents are doing the best they can, but this is a reminder to guide your children diligently. Work hard during their formative years, when you can still shape their character and instill good values. Keep an eye on their friends, the places they visit and their activities. While you can't always be with them, your influence during childhood and adolescence can have a lasting impact. Even when they are adults, your guidance and support is still important. Without proper education, children can fall into harmful influences or follow wrong social norms. The consequences of these decisions can be serious and life-altering.

This reminds me of what the Bible says about the end times. In 2 Timothy 3:1–5warns:

“But understand this, that in the last days times of trouble will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, arrogant, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, ungodly, heartless, unbearable, slanderers, without self-controlled, brutal, not loving what is good, treacherous, reckless, puffed up with vanity, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, who have a form of godliness, but deny its power. “Avoid such people.”

Furthermore, in Matthew 24:12says, because As evil increases, the love of the many will grow cold.”

These are sobering reminders of the state of the world today and where we are headed. Let us take a moment to reflect on our actions, realign our values, and strive for a better humanity, a humanity where respect, kindness, and responsibility guide our behavior.
