Serious question, did the free samples table at the airport gateway Hyatt in Denver actually change how I tip, or am I overthinking it?
So I had a layover in Denver about 5 weeks ago and stayed the night at the Hyatt out by the airport, and they had this little setup near the lobby with free coffee and a tray of those small packaged cookies. I grabbed two, said thanks to the guy restocking them, and he said something like most people just grab and walk off without a word. That stuck with me way more than it should have. Now here is my debate with myself: one side says tipping has gotten out of hand because every screen asks for 25% and I am not doing it for a self serve cookie tray. The other side says the guy is still working a job dealing with tired travelers at 11pm and a couple bucks does not hurt me. I honestly cannot decide which way I lean. Where do you all land on this, is it tipping creep or just being a decent human to someone restocking cookies at midnight?
