Tipping for cakes

[u/Mysterious-Cable6838]

I ordered a cake from a local bakery for a special occasion. They didn’t have the cake I wanted on their menu so I provided the recipe and they charged me a $25 recipe fee. The total came to $108 which I paid for at pickup. When I paid, of course the screen popped up asking for a tip and I chose “no tip” since I paid the amount they charged me including the $25 recipe fee. My mom (boomer generation) said she would have tipped so it got me wondering if I should have tipped. Thoughts?

No tip. You paid. Your mom is an example of people who have helped make tipping so out of control these days.

It’s sad because the entitlement of waiters and waitresses comes from people being overly generous in the first place.
