Alex Crook in January 2026:
🗣 "If they [Chelsea] are going to spend £60million on a defender, why don't they go and get Ibrahima Konate from Liverpool?"

I walked in…
Ordered one thing.
BLACK COFFEE.
No table.
No server.
No refills.
No experience.
Just a pour into a cup.
I stand there waiting… they hand me the receipt to sign…
…and I almost thought it was a joke.
“Suggested gratuity” STARTS at 50%.
FIFTY.
Percent.
For pouring coffee.
And on top of that… a “card convenience fee” on a $4 drink.
Let’s be honest about what’s happening…
This isn’t tipping anymore.
This is pressure disguised as gratitude.
This is digital guilt built into the checkout screen.
People aren’t becoming cheap… they’re becoming exhausted.
Every screen you touch asks for more.
Every purchase feels like a negotiation.
Every simple transaction comes with emotional leverage.
And then businesses wonder why people stop going out…
Why foot traffic drops.
Why customers choose home instead of cafés.
Because when buying coffee starts feeling like a financial ambush… the experience stops being enjoyable.
Tipping culture didn’t die because people stopped caring.
It’s collapsing because it stopped making sense.
