I tip if there was something to tip. Fast casual dining with me bussing, nope. Receiving a cup for coffee that I pump and setup, nope.

Its crazy how many businesses in the US are asking you to tip on checkout and make it appear that's normal. WTF would I be tipping at Subway
I have a rule I've long lived by: never piss off the people who cut your hair, make (or get) your food, and work on your teeth.
We tipping fucking dentists now??
No. Just don't piss them off.
From Germany, wholeheartedly, fuck off with your POS terminal tip prompts. I simply won't.
STOP TIPPING. The whole world doesn't tip, it's a strange and stupid US thing. Just stop tipping please!
This should be the next “movement” the internet gets behind. Everyone stops tipping, and watch people freak out.
And then, after a bit of confusion, tipping will end and waiters will get paid the right amount – no tipping needed
Also, while you're stopping dumb shit like tipping, may as well switch to the metric system as part of the integration!

TIL! Good bot.
Thanks, not much of a bot though :p
Haha ooops sorry! :) good human!
Germany does tip sometimes. But mostly we round up to the next thing that feels right. For me it is usually between 1-5€, but I never tip a percentage or use the tip option on a payment terminal. Sometimes I just don't tip. It is never a problem. It is a bonus not a necessity here.
