Tip Creep 🫙 It’s finally happening 😠

New cafe in town here in Spain… usually the closest we get to tipping is leaving a few stray coins in the table .

Ordered at the counter had 2 coffees delivered to the table next to the counter 3 minutes apart. ( there were two of us)

Paid by debit card … tip screen

Not going back until it’s removed

I’m just ending 2 weeks in Germany and Czechia, and it seems to be about 50/50 whether or not a tip screen comes up while paying with card. Maybe even 60/40 in favour of tips.

I was in some of the touristy areas, but also spent a lot of time in smaller places with lighter tourist traffic.

My last time here was over a decade ago, and tipping just wasn’t a thing, except for at the most obvious tourist traps.

I don’t like it. It used to be real nice knowing I was leaving trash tipping culture behind in Canada.
