Yes, it's usually a glass jar on the counter, but if you pay with a credit card, the receipt will have a line for a tip.

Who is this?

It became customary to tip your waiter during prohibition to help keep restaurants afloat because alcohol sales were a decent chunk of their profit, so they cut waiters' pay and made them get tips to make up the difference.
Restaurants kept it in practice even after prohibition ended, without restoring waiters' wages.
Now it has expanded to other jobs such as bartenders, food delivery, baristas, and occasionally even hotel staff. I think tipping waiters makes sense because some of them make much less than minimum wage, but baristas still make over minimum wage typically.

So tipping is just another government program. Why am I not surprised?

>> No.14685321

>>14685286
>government program
No? It was a way restaurants hid some of the cost of dining up front to avoid hurting business.
Prohibition was the time when alcohol was illegal to consume, manufacture, or purchase.

You think tipping was a result of the free market? No. Prohibition was a law imposed by the government, which resulted in tipping.

That doesn't mean it is a government program. Just that it was a consequence of a government action.

you guys don't really go to a milkshake cafe for coffee, do you?

you don’t have to get it iced you know, they don’t charge extra when you ask for no ice. there also aren’t any drinks over $6, which is still expensive, but that’s up to you if you want a 20 oz $5 pumpkin spice whip cream latte. that’s basically a dessert at this point

That's not how lattes, taxes, or the purchase of coffee work.
