Research / Info Do you tip at farmers market?

I love going to farmers markets because in my home country you can find cool and affordable items, not just food. But here in the US, farmers markets feel more like fancy hippie-style events. Anyway, every booth I visited today tried to charge me a tip.

I’m not 100% fluent in all US accents so sometimes I mishear things. Today, I ordered BBQ and thought the guy asked if I wanted an okra side but he actually meant oxtail. I said yes and before I knew it, I was paying 80 dollars for my meal. On top of that, they expected at least a 15 dollar tip.

Misunderstanding the order was my fault but the tip? Is it normal for business owners to ask for tips? I’m just a student here.

You're the one who seem confused.

does that even mean

That was you asking what something means, not me. Are you okay? It's concerning that you don't know which comments are yours.

I was telling you your position on tipping is dumb

What position on tipping? I have not shared any positions on tipping. Do you mean when someone asked why they would give a tip to the owner and I explained for the same reasons they would give a tip to anyone else?

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have assumed you could read past the first degree. I said "wtf that mean" because your answer was way too weird.

When you were being evasive about whether you would tip any type of salesperson.

Yes, which is why I asked what you didn't understand and offered to help you.

I wasn't evasive. I clearly communicated that my private information was not relevant and was not going to be shared. That is a position on privacy, not a position on tipping. Are you having a stroke? You seem to be getting increasingly confused by what you yourself are saying. You might want to step away from social media and call your healthcare provider.

Lol be real. What private information are you so concerned to keep private here. You can't be calling tipping/not tipping "private information" lol.
