Default TIPPING IS NOT A CITY IN CHINA

Tipping. I generally don't mind it, at restaurants for example. Or throw a bartender a buck for a drink. But sometimes it bothers me. I mean, restaurants are the only time I really feel like being generous with tips. Especially morning waitresses.

But is a dollar really an appropriate tip for a 4-5 dollar drink at a bar?

Something I've seen lately with using a credit card to buy small things -- particularly , coffees. Why is there a fucking tip thing there? Is it expected? My coffee cost me 2 dollars. I don't get any of that fancy shit. Should I be expected to tip .20? Does the barista expect a dollar? Anything at all?

tl;dr - expectations of tipping on small items where little work is done.
