5. For me it depends. There are two kinds of co-ops around here...

the first has budtenders and one greets me, personally weighs and packages my selection right in front of me then takes my payment too. I always tip these folks, the amount depends on the size of my purchase and how much time I take up. Sometimes Im there for 5-10 minutes. I feel like these are very personal transaction like at a bar where a fancy drink is made for me.

The second type has everything prepacked by the co-op or the companies whose strains they carry
I give my order to one person, pay another person at another station or window, then I get my prepacked goods from the pay window or I go back to original counter person and leave.
I'm usually in and out in 1-2 minutes or so. maybe less.
I tend to not tip at these places.
I feel like I'm running in the liquor store and buying a six pack or bottle of booze. It's just a retail transaction.

But in either case after I leave I still marvel at the wonder of how easy it is now, compared to when I was younger before the modern era of legalization.
