[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 9615300, member: 4348"] So, hear me out, as this relates directly to RPGs. I recently bought a few RPG books from a company that I'm pretty certain is operated mainly from the UK, and specifically in England. I believe I know who the owners (knowing who they are and knowing them personally are two different things, I do not know the owners, just who they are) are and they are English. So, as I went to buy them, there was the "opportunity" given to leave a tip. It wasn't a demand, but it was there. It was a bit of a head twister, as tipping is more of a US thing, and this thing where you tip for anything and everything is almost definitely a US thing...or so I thought. These were RPG books. I don't think I've even been asked to tip for RPG books at FLGS's in the US yet (maybe they have some that do there as well)? Is this a thing in the UK or Great Britain, or England? Have any of you been given the opportunity to leave a tip as you buy RPG books or similar or related items recently? Was I supposed to? I was unaware that this was a thing in the UK these days. I thought it odd that there was even a chance to? Have people demanded to be given the "opportunity" to do so? It's just, very weird to me. I'm rather old I suppose, so perhaps I should not be surprised by culture and society changing, but this is the first time I have had this happen in anything related to RPG buying. Am I supposed to leave a tip now? How much is appropriate if I am supposed to do so? How much is polite? This company operates in the US as well, perhaps it's influenced by something that has gone on there? I spent over 300 £ there, so it may have had to be a sizeable tip I suppose. I'm just not sure what I was supposed to do (and to be clear, there was no pressure to do so, it was just that there was the opportunity given to leave a tip if so desired). [/QUOTE]
