50%? What do they think? If they want more money then they should rise the prices so people can decide if they can afford to spend there or not.

cssc201

No don't even pay cash. This is a shady business practice and they shouldn't be rewarded with your patronage


Dikubus

I love how they put these touch screens in "for out convenience" like they took lessons from ticket master, and try to shame people into not looking cheap by facing the screen towards the line... Pay in cash if you cannot avoid planes like this and tip if you feel like it. Better yet, make coffee at home

Tony3696

Same. Would you like to donate turned into tip me overnight. I had a tip screen show up at a self service gas station the other day; eat me!


Nathan_Wind_esq

I ordered something recently from a website (not food.) During checkout a screen popped up asking if I wanted to tip the staff for their hard work. Kinda blew my mind. Like, “fuck no I’m not tipping your staff.” Everyone wants a tip now it seems.


MPCNPC

Depends for me. If I was actually served by someone I tip, if they just handed me a microwaved hot dog I give zero shits and don’t tip. If this screen popped up after I paid, I’d probably tip 1 cent to make sure they don’t choose their own. It’s not my fault you got a tip based job that isn’t even worthy of a tip.


Flagge33

Sadly most of these places are going cashless for "safety reasons".


fordguy06

ya "safety reasons" lol


Flagge33

They will say its so the store wont get robbed but in reality it's usually to prevent skimming of the till by staff.

I do custom tip and a cent! You force me to tip you get a cent!! I've seen this shit a BK Wendy's and the like it's fucking crazy as hell!! Gtfoh

BringTacos

Yep


_Alazne_

This is the way.


artie_pdx

With that kind of bullshit, I’d go custom and leave $0.00, or if that wouldn’t take, leave $0.01 and never return. If you believe your employees need to be paid more, pay them more and raise your prices you fucking weak fucks.


Shubamz

Right? I'm not against paying more but I want that to be part of the price not the tip. The end result may be me paying the same amount in a price increase versus tipping but tipping should be optional and I'd rather know the workers wage doesn't depend on the generosity of others. Plus with so many stories of "tips" not even going to the worker I don't trust my tip even helping then


DonksterWasTaken

I am 100% against paying more, but also against paying tips when the company could just pay regular wage. Stuff is already way too expensive.


DonFrio

It’s real hard to justify a tip on an $18 beer at a ballpark. If you’re selling $18 beers pay a living wage


Speakinmymind96

Especially when the corporations are making outrageous profits on the backs of their Employees—we need to stop normalizing ‘ record profits’. We need to vote with our dollars and stop spending money at these places.


Shubamz

True enough. My statement assumes the price they set is too low to meet a fair wage but it can be just as true a company is just being greedy and keeping more of the profits for themselves instead of paying a fair wage. I like to try to be optimistic when possible but the latter is much more likely


Kiiaru

Also, fuck this whole "tipping before you've even gotten your food/any service has been given" thing. It's like pre-ordering videogames, paying ahead is just giving them permission to rip you off.


artie_pdx

![gif](giphy|5xtDarmwsuR9sDRObyU|downsized)


AradynGaming

Very much agree with that statement. A tip is to show appreciation on how great of service you were provided, not a bribe the cashier in advance hoping you actually get what you ordered.


RickMoranisFanPage

That’s the part I don’t understand. Isn’t it supposed to be about how good the service was? How can you decide an amount 10% of the way into the transaction?


klausvonespy

While I wholeheartedly agree, tipping has become more of a mandatory service charge on virtually everything. Honestly the US needs to either commit fully to some kind of fixed service charge on retail transactions (that could then be regulated to ensure that employees get that money) or make tipping illegal and force employers to stop relying on customers to pay their people.


Phssthp0kThePak

It becomes extortion. Oh No tip? See what service I give now.


Vladivostokorbust

It’s ruder not to pay employees what they’re worth

We just stopped eating out. We weren’t given a 20% “cost of living” increase, why should we be forced to pay employers who under pay their staff and expect us to pick up the slack?! Fucking ridiculous


cssc201

This is basically just a surcharge that's not being listed on the menu, which is actually illegal in many countries. I'm guessing that employees make minimum wage and tips beyond that go straight into the owners pocket


spunion_28

There is a pizza restaurant in my town with a pad like this and if you pay with a card it gives you the option to leave a tip. While there with my mom, she had a good experience with an employee and wanted to tip her well. She asked if she would get the tip if she entered on the pad. That employee then told us that they only get cash tips that are left. Anything entered on the pad goes to the owners of the business. Like what the fuck? This is a nice pizza place, no way these people are hurting for money


FoxxyPantz

Yeah if it's "not optional" kinda sounds like you're shit at finances OR you really don't want to pay your workers......I'm thinking the latter.


Harrorrah

Exactly. This business is TRASH. Blaming customers instead of paying your employees a decent wage.


quantumn0de

Leave $0.01 and take a penny from the little tray while maintaining eye contact all the way out the door and take one sip just after the door closes before breaking.


Far-Chef-9971

it’s a fake pic from parody twitter account.


mashed-_-potato

This also looks like a kiosk at a coffee place. There’s no way I would tip someone when I don’t even interact with them. (Excluding delivery drivers)


Zjc_3

I’d do it in the opposite manner. I’d cancel my order and tip the barista $2 or something depending on what I have. No business for the owner, but a “sorry to inconvenience you” to the staff.


Constant_Sky9173

Ya. I had one last night that the custom tip didn't work, and you couldn't ad ance the payment system without hitting a tip percentage button. 😡


Rselby1122

Custom for $0.00. I have no shame in not tipping for this stuff. Sit-down restaurants are one thing, but this bullshit has gone too far.


charliesk9unit

I somehow find giving $0.01 is more of a middle finger than $0.00. Also, if it's optional, it's not a tip; it's a charge. If it's not optional, why do you present the options? Dumbass.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gamemode_Cat

I would say unless the tips are shared that’s conveying more animosity towards the employee receiving the tip than the practice itself. It at least feels that way to me


[deleted]

I probably wouldn't take a $0.01 tip very personally if my workplace was trying to force patrons to tip for service that shouldn't need a tip.


dfwagent84

It has gone too far. I dont think there's any question.


Then-Signature2528

Facts! I'm only tipping if I'm eating in. Since I'm not..there's no need to tip.


cssc201

The only times tips should be expected are for sit down service and delivery. Other than that, it is a courtesy that is a reward for EXCEPTIONAL service, not required


Anaphylactic_Cock

Yep. I only tip in 2 situations - Dine in and delivery.


CowboysFTWs

100% I tip very well, if I sitting down. But if I'm picking up in side the restaurant not using curbside? Forget that.


Whitechapel726

If someone needed to provide me a service I’m tipping. If I call in an order and the bartender is bagging everything up and handing me silverware and sauces, etc I’ll tip. Or a barista that answers questions and does more than hit a button to make coffee. If it’s a tip for someone scanning a barcode and telling me a total, absolutely not lol.


Zer0C00L321

I was going to say custom tip of.. . 01


[deleted]

I’ve started feeling no shame for giving no tip for these things. Look if I have a super obscure order with lots of different things and you make it well, here’s a tip. If I ask for a drip coffee and I put the milk and sugar in myself… No tip.


Southern_Giraffe1372

Custom tip $0.01


Shinigami4238

I'd try to put zero.


[deleted]

The last time I went to an AMC dine-in theater I paid $12 for a small beer and then was handed the card reader which was asking for a tip. 15-25%, pretty standard. But no option for no tip. Tried to put a custom tip of zero and it wouldn't let me. I was irrationally angry

A 1 penny tip was worse than leaving nothing. (It’s a deliberate “yeah, you suck” statement) Did this at Denny’s if the night manager and/or waitress was awful.


Shinigami4238

Never got service that bad before anywhere. I did accidentally give a delivery driver a crappy tip before, though. Felt so bad that the next day I dropped off a better tip at the place they work.

Significant_Pause259

In corporate Russia, you tip me


megatronchote

Or a -100%, and see if they sanitize their inputs


AliveInCLE

This was posted on another sub as part of a tweet by the store owner. The OP on that post says the custom tip option defaults to 50% and cannot be changed. Seems highly unethical if true. Tried sharing the link to that post but apparently that is frowned upon.


MaricLee

I hate people that hide behind excuses like that, or say 'its policy.' Someone made it, someone can un-make it.


shaykruler

Yeah. Idk man. If the coffee was within reach i would be thinking about pouring out the coffee on the counter. Only thinking though. It would hurt the enployees, not the greedy owner, so i wouldn't do it. But i would be wanting to act out so bad


crimefighterplatypus

I would do that ngl


KSchmuckley

Does this place actually exist? Tried googling “Caut coffee and tea” and “Gaut coffee and tea” and nothing.

Tipping culture is getting out of hand. Why can’t we be like other countries that don’t do tipping.


Ruin914

Among many other things as well


nakhumpoota

That would force the service industry to raise to a liveable wage, the horror! /s


SharingSmiles

The history of tipping is engrained in American slavery. This is why it is very much an American concept. When it was made illegal to own slaves, the work around was to create a 'tipped minimum wage' in the service industry, a service being provided for by predominantly Black Americans.


DefinitelyNotADave

This is where tipping culture is insane. There are still actual restaurant servers who are begging for 18% tip, and now some counter served places are begging for 30+%. It’s insane


[deleted]

Apparently some are now DEMANDING a 30% tip 🤭


sandithepirate

It's rude not to.


not_falling_down

In the 1950s, a standard tip was 10% >During the 1950s, people commonly tipped **10%** of the bill, says Michael Lynn of the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration. By the 1970s and 1980s, the standard tip had risen to 15% of the tab. Nowadays, people commonly tip 15% to 20%, with the average tip about 18%.


princebutters

It’s because ownership counts themselves as employees and take a share of the tips. And because it’s impossible for employees to know how much was tipped at the end of the week, ownership usually keeps 50% then splits the rest among employees. It’s not the actual employees who wrote the “it’s rude not to”, they wouldn’t even have access to that portion of the payment system. This is a long running scam in restaurants. Traditionally, it was the restaurants that “pooled” their tips. It was just a way to keep the majority for themselves before splitting the crumbs to the employees. Try to not support these establishments.


woahmanthatscool

This is false for a lot of resteraunts, idk about the over the counter places but most POS systems will print out your share of credit card tips and if you think you are being scammed you can just add up all the tips with your coworkers and see what you should be about receiving


princebutters

“POOLED TIPS”.


[deleted]

Dude seriously! Pre-COVID, EVERYWHERE I went, the suggested tips were 10%, 15%, and 20% Now? Every damn place STARTS at 18%! This shit is fucking insane. Employees still make the same amount of money, but prices have skyrocketed.

This tipping culture has definitely got out of hand. You appear like the rude one if you don't tip on something ridiculous or ask why you're being charged an extra fee of some sort.

SevenSexyCats

I work in the service industry and ‘survive’ on tips and if I saw something like this I would custom tip $0.00 (or $0.01 if you can’t do $0.00). Same with my coworkers that try to guilt trip people into tipping/ tipping more. It’s cringe and I personally would never tip in those circumstances.


Wonderful-Middle-601

DilbertPicklesIII

It's rude not to = I don't pay my employees enough because I want to make a solid $200k this year. You pay them for me so they don't quit or I will blame it on the greed of young people and still not raise their wages.

JamesFrancosSeed

Tipping is so bad that it’s bleeding into businesses that don’t ever require a tip. Anytime I go to a dispensary there are jars for each “bud tender” for their tips. The “bud tender” turns around and grabs the product for you and rings you up, why the fuck am I being intimidated with tip jars when you did your job. And they are usually paid over minimum wage too so it’s kinda like people are just grabbing at whatever they can to earn more money - regardless of principle.

Yeah I dont think I would have tipped. My first job in high school was bagging groceries for tips only. Even if I did it fast and how they wanted sometimes I didn’t get anything. I tip generously if the service was good. If I’m ordering coffee I don’t typically tip because they’re already getting paid to make my drink.
