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.
