You’d have to offer to pay the bill for this to be an issue for you.

Those ultra long haul flights won’t pay for themselves

Self service machines in the US actually offer for you to tip them

And they wank in your tea if you don’t

Full disclosure I never tipped a barber in my life until I discovered in the TFK haircut thread what an enormous social faux pas I was making.

Other than that and restaurants I wouldn’t really tip. If it’s a coffee place I’m frequently in I might pay by cash once in a blue moon and chuck the change in a tipping jar.

I don’t mind tipping for takeaway coffees. Its only a small amount and the staff are generally on shit wages.

Lads with 6 figure salaries begrudging a euro to minimum wage workers. Hardly surprising the blueshirts keep getting elected.

Would you pay someone a fiver to make four coffees then?

I’d never tip a physio but would tip a masseuse

Do you tip the minimum wage lady on the cash register when getting groceries? Or buying a tin of pop in the shop? What about in fast food outlets? The cleaner outside public toilets?

As a matter of interest, how are you an outlier on wedding gifts?
Wrt to tipping options, just hit the No Tip button if that’s the way you feel, maybe you’ll tip another time, personally I nearly always tip for service but never t/a. Yesterday evening I stopped in Fanny O’Dea’s on way home from Kilkee, tea for 2 and 2 desserts, the bill included a coffee which wasn’t mine. They took it off the bill when I pointed it out, and I didn’t tip, my reasoning was that this careless mistake (it was quiet) didn’t deserve a tip. In general I’m a generous tipper, usually 10-15%, as I grew up in the trade. It’s a trade that’s absolutely fucked now though, staff shortages seem to be a huge issue, horrible hours for shite wages

A place I used often stop into for coffee or a sandwich introduced this a year ago. It is cheeky the way the no tip option is minimised. I was annoyed at first and then thought why are the staff in this place any less meriting of a tip than staff in a restaurant where I’d give more than ten percent. Similar job, Dublin city centre etc. Tips are generally pooled and shared between all staff in most places anyway is my understanding, or they’re supposed to be. I think it kinda shows up the unwritten rules in tipping to be a load of shite.
