>Do people really tip for a single cup of coffee, or is this a joke?
Honestly I have no fucking idea anymore.
The internet has gaslit me into thinking Americans can't just pay "what's on the tag" in literally no area of life.
Get an item from the store shelf? VAT is only added during check out and costs more than what's written.
Eat outside? You have to pay more, but not some flat gratuity "for service", you have to pay 10-20% more on the total value of the meal (?????) instead.
Get your hair cut? You have to tip because...why???


I keep telling myself I must've been gaslit by the Internet's constant "do Americans really?" posts, but then a burger friend will casually mention "Oh fortunately I found a good hotel for my trip in the end, with tipping it only came out to etc etc" and after that my mind turns into static just thinking YOU TIP AT A HOTEL????
