Tipping when the iPad is staring at you
You grabbed a $4 coffee. The iPad swiveled around: 18%, 22%, 25%, or Custom. The barista is watching. You want to tip less than 18%. This is the 6-second crisis.
🎬 The scene starts here
S
Sam — Coffee shop barista
Neutral, quietly waiting
“(the iPad is facing you. 18% ... 22% ... 25% ... Custom. The receipt printer hums.)”
What you are trying to do
Your objective
Walk yourself through the moment. Practice tapping Custom without spiraling. There's no correct tip here — the point is to stop freezing.
What good looks like
You articulated what you'd actually do — not what you'd feel guilty about.
Difficulty
Friendly and willing — but will not read your mind.
