In 2024, is letting a cashier 'keep the change' (coins) perceived to be disrespectful?

Whatever you leave behind never goes to the cashier, it goes to the business.

I rarely have cash on me, but when I do, and when the tally is right near the bill I'm using, it feels awkward to tip the coins. In an era of 15%, 20%, and 25% digital tip screens, is a handful of coins seen as a slap in the face to service workers?

Who is silly enough to tip at a bakery or coffee shop?

Why wouldn’t you tip is the better question?

For coffee or bakery takeaway? Probably half tip nothing. But I suspect a zero tip on a credit card is probably more palatable to them than leaving physical coins.

Since when are coins not cash?

This is a terrible take.

It is a tip nothing wrong with leaving change.

Yeah, a 4% tip, which they have to now jingle around in their pockets (something that you are too good for), is a slap in the face.

If you are going to stiff the workers, don't muck up their tip jar and pay with card.

They probably trade in the change for bills at the end of the shift. How do you not realize this?

Whenever I leave change and dollars or five dollars they are t looking! 👀 so they don’t really notice or care. It’s unbelievable that people think this is insulting.

If you want to dump the change, do a proper tip of real dollar bills and the change is in addition to it.

This is crazy. So not only are we expected to tip insane amounts in all situations, but now we have to consider the form of the tip? This is why I am slowly reverting to not tipping. The entitlement is unreal.

NP. That’s literally what a tip jar is for: depositing the loose change or couple of dollars the cashier hands back to you. If you think the workers pour the loose change into their pockets at the end of their shifts, you are simple.

Just stop tipping, these new min wage laws are too high

When a studio apartment is $2,200 month, and you have student loan debt, groceries, car payment, car insurance... and you're working a dead-end service job in your 20s or 30s... yes, 60 cents is a slap in the face.

I do not feel obligated to tip for counter service. It's not the same as table waiters who earn a whopping $3-$5 per hour and expect 20% tips to make up the difference. That barista is already earning at least minimum wage.

This is how it should be.

They honestly seem apathetic about any tips these days. I just think they all hate their jobs. Or maybe they’re high. Who knows.
