The card machine wants a tip for handing me a coffee. Tip, or skip?

The tip jar should be optional, not guilt-tripped at the register. Skip every time.

Tipping culture has gone insane. A coffee transaction shouldn't come with moral pressure.

These people work hard. A buck in the tip jar isn't going to break me and it might make their day slightly better.

They're doing their job, not saving my life. The owner sets the pay. I skip.

I tip because I know retail wages are rough, even if it shouldn't be my responsibility. Bit of kindness costs me a dollar or two.
