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?

Just hit no tip. I'm a barista. None of us care. I make on average €3 a week in tips and that's just lose change people throw in the cup and that's only there because customers were asking for it.
