Why we don't left tip in bakery or store?

Those working in stores are paid for their work and they are behind a counter doing their jobs. They do not have the extra work to go to the table to serve people. Here in Europe most people do not tip waiters for what I know. I am Italian and I always do, but in France most people did not tip at all the waiters. The waiters told me all the time how much they appreciated the Italians for the tips.

It's a valid point. I never thought of it.

Some of the stores in US have jars at cash registers for tips. It's there for those who want to use it and makes for an easy exchange without embarrassing anyone.

No we don't give the sales crew and those who helps in a store, tips. But we do give tips to those service crew in fine dining restaurant only. We also give to porters, cleaners and service crew in hotels.

I don’t really tip on bakery store the same reason I don’t tip the supermarket. I think it would be too expensive for me if I tip everyone. Cause usually in the bakeries it’s a little like self service and the person is just assigned to do the cashier. And for that they are already paid with their salary from employer. Whereas, I do tip in restaurant because first, I ask a lot of favours like service water, and other stuff from the waiter. And secondly, I believe for the amount of work they do, their salary is really not enough. But well tipping in bakeries is okay for those who are wealthy and can afford.

I think it is not commonly practised.

We can usually leave tips anywhere here if we want to.

I don't know why it is traditional to tip some service people and not others. For example tips for waiting staff, sometimes bar staff, sometimes chamber maids and porters in hotels, sometimes taxi drivers or hairdressers, but not people serving in general shops. Strange isn't it?

The main thing about tipping in the United States, mainly as it applies to waiters and waitresses, is that they are typically paid less than minimum wage and are working primarily FOR tips. Tipping is still largely a customary thing that only applies to certain professions—for whatever reason, and not sure why we single out some and disregard others. In the U.S. it is customary to tip (waiters and waitresses of course) bartenders, people who cut and style our hair, cab drivers, porters in hotels, delivery drivers (when delivering food), airport shuttle drivers, among others.

Some places have a little tip jar by the cashier. Sometimes i leave a dollar or two. I usually like leaving tips. I have many friends that live off tips so i understand the struggle.

A lot of the managers will not allow tipping to store employees.

I do not know what to answer. It's much more important that everyone has good salaries.
