    I don’t mind tipping even at casual cafes and stuff because I used to work at a pizza place and the tips helped a lot. But if the LOWEST option is 30% I’m selecting no tip.

      I find no need to tip for someone filling a cup of coffee and setting it on the counter. Maybe if they’re making some complicated drink but even then…come on

        The standard I grew up with was 15%. Excellent service got 20%. Subpar service got 10%. Horrible service got 0%.

          And that was paid AFTER you actually had service. I’m not tipping up front when I don’t know what kind of food/service I’m getting. So many places are asking for a tip when you pay for a drink/meal that they just call out your name/number. You’re not even bringing me the food, you’re just making it and slapping it on a counter. What am I tipping for? You making the food? Isn’t that why you get paid? Servers that bring you food and take your orders I get because they’re being shafted on wages from stupid bullshit laws.

        Honestly, when did the “standard” become 20 %?? I was used to the “standard” being 10 %, and then someone went around acting like it was 15, now 20… people do realise that the tips increase linearly with inflation when you keep the tip percentage constant… right?
