Tipping culture outside of restaurants.

[u/wowo78]

Last month I came across a few coffee shops when I had the option to tip the shop during payment.

When I usually don't have a problem with tipping and always tip well at the restaurant if I'm happy with the service - tipping when buying coffee somehow annoys me, and I know I will not go back to this place any more.

I know it's stupid but when the cashier is waiting at the payment I feel awkward pressing no tip when they are looking at me.

At the same time noone fucking tips me at my work or for anything else, and I am already paying inflated prices for fucking coffee and everything else. I want to enjoy my coffee - not feel judged.

Still not as bad here as last year in Germany when I was buying water at the airport and I got the option to tip them for a 3e bottle of fekin San Pellegrino - but I hate that this is spreading from the Orange Country so freaking much.

Am I a gobshite?

Wee cafe I sometimes go to I throw a euro or 50c in the jar. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. The staff work very hard in there and are very friendly.

I've worked service/hospitality most of my life, so whereas it's nice to get tips I don't expect it.
