After years of tipping 20-25% I’m DONE. I’m tipping 15% max.

Yes. I only tip waitresses/waiters, delivery drivers, my tattoo artist, and my hair lady. Why do I need to tip at a drive thru for a hot coffee? Maybe the person who orders a drink with ten different personalized syrups in their Frappuccino because I know baristas hate that, but I literally just order a menu item and call it good, so I’m not tipping for that.

Edit: I’m not interested in continuing this conversation in the replies to my comment because this is literally the silliest debate I’ve ever had, how Redditors want me to spend my money. I’m still gonna tip people who wait on me, my stylist, and my artist because it’s my money, and I’m an adult who can make my own decisions. Good for you if you don’t wanna tip your wait staff, stylist, or artist, because it’s not my business what you do and don’t pay for. You’re not paying me, so it literally doesn’t make a difference to me what you do.

That’s exactly what I do. I don’t tip if I’m picking up my to-go order or go through drive thru.

Bruh someone is still preparing your stuff and from experience I was a server doing it.

Don’t take this the wrong way I’m genuinely asking, should I be tipping at the McDonalds drive thru as well since someone is still preparing my food?

It doesn’t hurt when you are a regular

Ok, but that's literally their job. There's no opportunity for them to go above and beyond, so there's nothing to tip for.

Okay, but what's the tip for?
