depends on the order
if it's a huge order of genes (most likely to be resold)? yeah, a tip is nice
if it's a couple of genes, then... no

that being said, tipping culture itself is stupid and anyone that expects tips for service they provided is painfully american. you didn't even open a business, you aren't an employee lol. you offered a free service. free does not mean "free". close the dom shop if you're mad you aren't getting tips

Damn :’) is the American in me really that stinky
Not my shop though, asked if I was under tipping and they said most people don’t at all. That said, is it also unusual to tip artists because I have been this whole time

RIP :( I didn't mean to sound so mean lol but yeah, people running dom shops should not be expecting tips
IMO same goes for artists. charge the price you want to receive

i dont think tipping if you want to is bad--but a tip IS optional and it isn't rude not to tip. especially as a paid service

nayrt but while I'm not gonna call it "stinky" it may really play a part here. There are plenty of countries where tipping isn't really part of the culture and norms, so people legit don't think about it much, or maybe want to do it at first but forget because it's not such a natural, obvious thing.

I usually never expect a tip tbh. When people tip it's nice but I don't resent anyone for not tipping.

I personally don't tip anymore if the dom shop just grabs me a batch of festival skins/accents, since they stock unlimited now and it takes like 30 secs to grab em.

On the other hand I make sure to tip if a dom shop grabs me genes or apparel because the MP sucks and also the gene tab is flooded with ancient crap.

I tip a little bit, usually rounding up the total, because I consider them stalking the MP to get genes a service in the sense that I don't have to sit there and nab the genes myself.

dom shop owner: personally i don't really care how much someone asking for a single gene tips or doesn't because i make my profit from the order, not from the tip. what i do care about and even turn away is if someone asks for a dozen different genes without any tip (because those people usually don't even thank me, like ffs, i get not tipping but not thanking at the very least??) or they ask for a dozen of the same gene 'cause i know they will just go and resell for profit.
