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?

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.
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.
Credit was always money, it was just other people’s money.
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.
