    The key to this is don’t get intimidated into tipping, or by how much. You do not have to participate.

    Exactly.

    Also, pro tip: the tipping screen comes with the tablet software. The guy at the gas station really doesn't give a damn if you tip or not, the screen is just part of the checkout procedure.

    1. How do you know whether the guy at the gas station cares whether you tip? Would it not be more reasonable to assume that, if tipping affects his take home pay, that he would care?

    2. Even if the guy at the gas station don't care, chances are the proprietor or the manager who configured the software cares.

                Never tip at gas stations. No reason. I prepay with debit credit card. I pump my gas and wash my own windows while filling. No attendant involved.

                            Went to a little bakery yesterday morning. After standing in line for ten minutes and getting perfunctory service with little charm or welcome they wanted a tip. I chose OTHER and 0.

                              😄 They earned every bit of that 0.

                              Went to our town's bakery early morning yesterday for Mother's Day and had a different experience.

                              There were more people outside the place waiting for their orders to be done than inside, and the line to order was out the door.

                              I finally get up there amid weekend Karens and douchebags in town for a wedding or something, and saw that the owner was behind the counter.

                              "Hey! What's up? What do you need today?"

                              "Not to make it difficult but what would you recommend for an assortment of breakfast pastries for a mom and a 4-year-old? Got any new good ones?"

                              She thought for a minute. Clacked away on the screen. "Get these for mom, these for your daughter. Mom's are the chocolate ones she likes and these here are fruity. Any coffee?"

                              When she rang me up, she leaned in and said, "and hey, wait right there beside the counter, okay? Just wait right there."

                              Got me my stuff in under 3 minutes.

                              I tipped an assload.

                              The pastries went down exactly as anticipated.

                              Please love yourself.

                                Exactly right. A tip is for services received. It’s not a participation trophy
