I’m not answering unless you tip me first.
I too am tired of this tip culture. I was in an ice cream shop yesterday and they had a tip jar out. The owner was the one working and serving. I’ve also been in donut shops and they have tip jars as well. They make minimum wage in those establishments, are we suppose to tip them too?
Yes...
Had a cashier in a retail store flip the little card reader around and point out the tip options yesterday.
I just selected No Tip like always and moved on.

Why should it be the direct salary in the first place?

You aren’t obligated to tip, but if you are looking for a reason why you should…in a coffee shop, it feels like they aren’t doing much, but a whole lot of work goes into keeping the machines and the store clean, keeping things stocked, etc, and they are on their feet all day. In some low minimum wage areas, tips can mean the difference between making rent and not making rent. It’s a little bit for me and a lot for them, so I tip.
CU1, you literally described the tasks outlined in the job description of a barista. Those activities are exactly what they signed up to do when they took the job in exchange for a wage.
The “extra” tip is for service. Not for running your card, making your product, cleaning the machine, etc. Bottom line is they aren’t serving. They’re putting the final product they are paid to produce on a counter so you can come serve yourself.
It’s not anyone’s job to care how they do or don’t make rent. If you can’t make rent being a barista, don’t take the job.

Apple Pay really accelerated tip culture. The iPad at the fast casual takeout spot is such a hustle. "Here it's just going to ask you a couple questions." He flips that screen around and it asks for a 25%-35% tip. I usually just toss him a buck me walk away.
The whining about tipping is so silly. If you don't want to tip: don't tip.
Agree D1. Hence why I don’t tip a lot of times. It’s stupid
I went to Japan recently, there is absolutely zero tipping. All service workers were meticulous about providing exact change. The service was impeccable.
A tipping culture really only seems to benefits those who DONT tip. There’s absolutely no reason you can’t bake good wages into prices and still have gray service.
We just choose to not do it.
