Pay as if you’re any other customer, trying to overpay would probably come across with a tone-deaf charity vibe IMO. Your friend is likely not an idiot, they’re able to set the correct price for whatever it is they’re selling.
OTOH Americans just love tipping, so maybe it doesn’t come across as gauche as elsewhere over there
I can see that and I agree to some degree. You should just pay the regular price. I should have phrased it as pay regular price > pay more > ask for a discount. I am not american btw, I am german.
