Looked sheepishly at each other then refused it saying they ran the risk of being sacked if caught accepting tips. Why is it not my perogative in this case to tip?

co-op provides the same high quality service to every customer who steps thru the doors. they dont want it to come to the point where tipping is required. If you tip the kid a few times they will start to treat you better than other customers, pretty soon the customers who dont tip are treated like crap. They have to draw the line somewhere to ensure equal great service for all. Speaking as a guy who worked for co-op for 7 years recently quitting.
