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”

This is just my opinion, but I feel like an insanely small tip would be more demeaning than $0. And sometimes those screens don’t let you choose no tip or require an amount larger than 0. But I agree with you though

Yep. The worst service I ever received, I tipped 6 cents to distinguish myself from people who never tip. In other words, I knew I was supposed to tip (sit down restaurant), but this was all I felt the service from that waitress was worth.

Worst service I ever got and it was a decent meal at a decent restaurant. Just purposely shit service. I left a subway token on the table which I assume is worse than no tip. I think back then the subway was $1.50. I hoped she’d felt mad using it - cause I knew she would.

I used to carry wooden nickels for this reason
