At my kid’s university the muggers take your phone and transfer money directly out of your bank account on the spot. Who needs cash?

Tell us you have never been mugged without telling us you have never been mugged.
I can understand those who prefer to use other methods of payment. I will never understand people who refuse to carry cash. Having at least a small amount of cash seems like the base level of "being an adult who is prepared for unexpected circumstances" such as power failures, merchants who only accept cash, muggings, tips, etc.
I am almost 60 and have never had a problem not having cash. I have it when I know I will need it (valet, paying someone cash for a service like a tutor, etc.) never had a power failure prevent me from paying, never been mugged, etc.
Isn’t it better not to have money if you’re mugged? Are you reading about people being assaulted from having nothing mugable on their person?

Tips are always optional. He did nothing for a tip. Tipping culture in the US is out of control.

There is not a single thing I need to tip for in an airport. The service and experience are so bland now. I can wheel my own suitcase. Expecting tips in that environment is obnoxious.
You have never eaten in an airport restaurant?

What do you think is happening in the kitchen when you order guacamole, silly?
So...you never consume food prepared outside your home, I presume.

I've never seen people tip anywhere besides the bar at airport lounges?

Most people don’t carry cash.
That has zero relevance to whether tipping is proper in a given situation.
Not having cash is 100% relevant to tipping in this situation. Are you too low class to frequent airport lounges!? Everything is included so you’re not taking out a credit card or phobe to pay for anything. Thus how would you expect the OP to tip without cash?
I think most people carry a bit of cash, especially when traveling. Don't you tip your bellman? Or are you too low class to frequent hotels that offer this type of service.

Yes most lounges I have been at, I have seen a tip jar at the bar only, not anywhere else.
