@user47@m.ai6yr.org You don't have to tip. I usually don't for counter service.

@user47@m.ai6yr.org Let me expand on this. In Washington, people who work in restaurants are paid minimum wage (or more). Tips are not needed to fully compensate them. Instead, the cost of their wages is built into the cost of our food. When I go to a counter and order a pastry out of a display case and someone there gives me that pastry, I'm paying them for their service by paying for the food. A tip is not required and should not be expected. (1/2)
