So I stopped in as a first timer to support a local business because i feel this is ever so important.
I was met with a cheery attitude and welcomed in. I purchased 4 pre-bagged cookies for $8.00, I picked them up off the shelf all by myself and did not need a bag as these cookies were already in a bag. All i needed to do was present them to the cashier (whom had to ask for help ringing up my order of 4 pre bagged cookies) and pay for them which i did with a tap and declined a receipt.
When it became clear to the cashier that i did not tip her for ringing up an $8.00 order she became visibly and audibly perturbed! I do not feel a tip was warranted for this service or situation! I feel that tip culture in this country has gotten completely out of hand ! Furthermore, i do not feel the reaction by the cashier was warranted in any way ! If i could have brought myself to make a scene and return the cookies I would have ! However, i did not want to be as petty as i had just been treated!
I was hoping for a positive experience as good bakeries are hard to find. (I miss you George)
I will not return, EVER ! and will tell everyone I can about my experience !
