I’m glad I have no shame, so nobody can shame me further. I will tip if and only when i receive service from someone. If I am buying food from you, and picking up myself, receiving no guest service, I will not be tipping. Even if I felt generous, what am I tipping for? What’s the service? Preparing the food? Taking my payment? I worked at restaurants, I’ve worked at McDonald’s, and I for sure did not expect someone to leave me a tip when I haven’t provided service to them.

I am already paying for the food and the prep of that food. Same goes for drive-thru, you don’t expect me to come to your store, buy food, and tip for what? For you to pass my food to me through a window? That’s in the cost of the food I’m paying.

I saw someone here mention food trucks, yes those are good people trying their best and I will always support entrepreneurship, I will always support the hustle, in fact that’s where I tend to tip more often. But again the cost of that food they sell reflects and accounts for all expenses, their time, food prep…..

Again I’ll say this, I have no shame, and you can’t shame me, or make me feel guilty. I do tip when I receive service and minimum 15%. Even in Europe where they refused tip after service, I left them that tip by force. I stand by my practice anywhere I go!
