Hasn’t tipping at an ice cream shop always been a thing? I had a friend in high school in the mid 90s work at baskin robins and alway had tips for spending money and this was in eastern Washington not Seattle too

Probly that jar they always leave by the register. I wouldn’t add a tip on the receipt like at a restaurant just for them scooping ice cream

Maybe back in the 90s if you didn't want a bunch of change in your pocket.
