Nice! I’ve started only tipping on fridays for coffee, etc. I’m a great tipper at restaurants But being hit up for a $5 tip for a $4 drink is way wrong. I’d tip you, but today is Thursday!

I tip great at sit-down restaurants. I don't tip at fast food places, or carry-outs where they don't actually provide and service, or at the oil change place.

Summary: if I didn't tip in a situation 10 years ago, I'm not going to start now.

I tip my barista and budtender a dollar every visit, personally. I love those people though. Restaurants get 20% unless they fuck up, then it's 15%, unless it was absolutely egregious.

That's it. I cut my own hair.

In the UK the sort-of rule is that you tip for 10% food if you pay after receiving it (and that's pretty much the only situation where anyone tips).

It seems like since the pandemic even that is less expected though, which is nice.

Where asks you for a $5 tip for a $4 drink? I’ve never seen anything like that.

[zippyman55]

Ive totally seen it at local coffee shops in the Pacific Northwest. When I do see it, and if I’m in a tipping mood, I slide the other way.

My current strategy for how much total I'll pay for a coffee is FlOOR(price+.50) + 1, which keeps the bill nice and clean and kicks some goodwill towards someone who makes less than 1/5th the average earnings of my coworkers.

I'm going to charge you $1.50, then.

[SoftTalker]

I make my own coffee. It's not hard.

The coffee shop owners? They're probably making a decent amount of money no?
