OnlyPolls on Yik Yak | my hot take: you do NOT need to tip at coffee shops or takeout restaurants, BUT if you go to a specific one fairly often, you should tip there at least once in a while. (example: if you go to the same coffee shop every day, tip once a week)

I work at an ice cream parlor and get paid $7.50 per hour. I genuinely don’t expect to be tipped on regular scoops (that’s absurd), but if you get rolled ice cream (which takes a LOT of energy and time if there’s a long line), it would be nice to tip your workers. I still don’t expect it, but if I’m ever at an establishment where the workers have to go out of their usual routine to serve me, I tip.

I was a regular at this one cafe and I’d tip every time because the owner would only charge me a dollar or two for a large drink. But had to stop going there when the owner showed up at my house 😃🔫

For the most part, tipping is less for good service and more for the actual payment of the service. If it’s a place that pays well, I tip less (unless they have great service or food).

The reason I specified coffee shops or takeout is because I’m specifically not talking about sit down restaurants, where you NEED to tip because that’s how the waiters make money (most waitstaff make like $2 an hour from the restaurant and actually rely on tips for their money) whereas at a coffee shop, fast food, etc they are paid a full wage and tips are just extra, for good service imo

That’s absolutely fair, in my area some shops don’t let you keep tips or they just tax out. We also have plenty of coffee shops that don’t pay baristas well at all, so I just base it on the individual shop and also how much I love the place.

Small local shop? Tip much more especially to a direct tip jar. More likely to not pay a lot to the workers but much nicer of a place. Chain fast food? Probably no tip. They have consistent service and are more likely to pay more like 15+ an hour or more (like at McDonald’s bc they pay 20+).
