[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ex. a coffee order is $4.60 and you give them a $5 and tell them to keep the change. Or this morning I picked up a few croissants for my family and the order was like $19.20. I swear the tone of the bakery gal helping me turned sour when I dumped the 80 cents or whatever it was into her tip jar.

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?[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]
