"It's so arbitrary though, order a Pepsi from McDonald's no tip, order a Pepsi from a pub, $1 tip minimum. Tip the person who hands you a bottle of beer but not the person who makes your sandwich."

As an outsider, it's all quite insane especially when the baseline isn't 0% but more like 15% for default service in many situations. Or a $1 tip for something ridiculously basic at a bar like getting post-mix soda or uncapping a bottle of beer as you said.

Especially a bodega/deli sandwich maker. Making a sandwich is just as labor intensive as making a cocktail. I load up my sandwiches with at least 10 ingredients (lettuce, tomato, onions, spinach, peppers, banana peppers, olives, salt, pepper, mayo,... Whatever they have!) and the average cocktail has, like, 3-4 ingredients? And it's certainly more labor intensive than carrying a plate.
