<p>Everybody has a point in which they draw the line on tipping. I draw the line at walk-up service at cafes/delis. I believe that my meal price already includes the cost of taking my order, ringing up the bill, and returning the receipt and food to me.</p>
<p>I think it’s reasonable that deli workers are paid minimum wage. Making a sandwich does not require education, specialized skills, or other characteristics that would warrant an employer to pay wages higher than minimum wage. It’s indoor work (climate controlled), safe (not like working on a construction site), and many would say enjoyable work.</p>
