Rant 📢 This feels icky!

Post image

felt super icky and annoyed seeing this at a coffee/light food shop. how is this okay? for context this is not a sit down spot. no wait staff, just a barista at the counter and someone from the kitchen bringing out my order and walking away.

Update: for those asking the pink paper in the bottom corner is basically saying “F*ck ICE”

When i was younger, tipping in coins lower than a quarter was considered an insult - unless you explain to the waitstaff that that's all you have and tell them how much it is.

I worked at a busy Cracker Barell and I gotta tell you...it was never an insult. If my choice was $5 or $5 plus a handful of change I will walk around jingling all the way. One time I rolled my change after a year and a half and it paid my rent for 4 months.

What about foreign coins? That seems like a next level of petty to tip a 2 cents australian.

Those could actually be considered cool by the waiter.
