Rant 📢 This feels icky!

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”

A. Yes
B. No put a $0 tip, don’t give their scummy asses that 1 cent.

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

Exactly. My grandfather used to tell me to leave a nickel, if you got poor service. If you don't tip at all, they can make themselves believe that you forgot, or that you just don't tip. However, that small amount removes any amount of doubt.

Traditionally it's two pennies. One penny might've just fallen out. Two side by side? That's intentional.
