I went to the local bakery/restaurant today and bought 2 cookies at the counter. I paid with a credit card and when it asked if I wanted to tip, I said no. Am I going to hell because of this?
Straight to hell. Suprised you managed to type this out before the demons got you.
Nah. Don’t tip for stuff like that, that’s BS
Leaving tip at the counter or for take out food is just incomprehensible to me. It’s like tipping a grocery store clerk at check out when you are paying for your groceries. I bought this food already, what am I leaving a tip for?
I stopped tipping the grocery clerks when they stopped asking to see my ID when I purchased alcohol.
I mentioned this when the woman ahead of me bought a bottle of wine. The clerk said “She looks under 35. You don’t.”
Definitely no tip.
No. That question is now the default of all POS (point of sale) systems. If they’re not wait staff, bar tenders, delivery, or performing some other service, there is literally no reason to tip them.
Tip on counter service, don’t tip on retail purchases. This was a retail purchase. If you had gotten a latte you should’ve tipped a dollar for that, but not on the entire total.
You’re probably not going to hell because hell probably doesn’t exist. However, whether you are cast into the outer darkness, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth, that’s another matter and I suggest truly repenting for your misdeeds… of which this was not one, to be clear.
If I ordered a latte, it would be a special hell. Different subject.
Lactase tablets are a thing.
I don’t even tip when ordering food to-go. I buy goods, not service.
No. You might want to move in a country where we don’t tip ? 😅
No you are not going to hell.
Why would you tip someone who just rang you up? Tipping is for exceptional service rendered, not for pushing a button on a screen and handing you something. This whole over-tipping bullshit was started by the credit card point of sale machine businesses, because they reap greater profits. If everyone makes tips, then no one makes tips. The only winner is square cash.
who the fuck let Ted Bundy in here
No, but USCBP might deport you to a country where tipping isn’t a thing, if they were to find out.
You’ll be fine as long as you remember to tip Charon
They were a local business. By not tipping them at least 60% you are basically condemning them to a complete utter collapse of their livelihood. I hope their dejected, begging faces don’t bother you as you’re pushing your cart full of Hostess™ cupcakes in the new Walmart™ parking.
You cannot save the world by tipping.
That said, tip table service, delivery drivers and valets if local customs encourage it.
No I guess? I don’t believe in the religion thing. And you bought 2 cookies on credit?
Also when did we as a society start treating credit cards as money instead of credit?
It’s how I buy everything. I rarely carry cash. You steal my cash I’m out my money. You steal my credit card, I cancel the card and get a new one.
Small purchases like a couple cookies ( about $1.50 to $2.00) then I will probably pay cash because the store probably loses money if I use a card. The absolute vast majority of purchases I use the card. If I don’t have the money in the bank then I don’t buy the item.
2 cookies at $3.50 each = $7 plus tax about $7.50 plus possible tip (20% please - go to heaven tip) = $9 - safe from hell price.
3.50 for a cookie?
Either those are some huge cookies or you live in a high cost of living area.
Credit was always money, it was just other people’s money.
if you buy things with a credit card you almost always get huge amounts of protection that are just not there when paying with cash/debit. Fraud protection, warranty extensions, cash back, etc. It very rarely makes sense as a consumer to pay with a debit card or cash when you can pay with a credit card and then move the money to cover the transaction before accruing any interest.
Well it was debit. Thanks for the no hell vote.
Because I like going through life with a 2-5% discount on everything I buy.
