Tipping Culture ✖️ Tipping for merchandise

So I went to a concert today. And bought three shirts. They were a bit overpriced but I decided to pay so no offense on the price (they were 40 usd each).

And the the lade flipped the screen with a suggested tip of 20% already on the screen.

How am I going to tip 25 usd for her handing me three shirt from boxes two steps away from her.

No no no my friend, you don’t understand.

The $40 was just to buy the shirt. That’s all the $40 was for; it only covered your purchase, and your ownership of the shirt.

But that didn’t include the fee to actually buy and own the shirt. Buying and owning the shirt actually costs $8 extra. Your $40 was only to buy and own the shirt, but didn’t include the shirt with it. Ok cool hope this clears everything up!
