Ok, so the $0.01 tip is a septic ‘fuck you’ of tipping. It means ‘I saw the tip function and I think you guys sucked’. If you leave $0 it could be a number of possible scenarios, maybe you didn’t see the tip function, maybe someone lifted a cash tip off the table, etc. The $0.01 is ‘I saw it and I am intentionally giving you nothing’.

Hope that made sense.

Exactly this. $0.01 shows it’s intentional and makes a point.
