I've completely lost my chill with forced tips. If that was take out I would tell them they could keep it.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Jesus Christ that's cold.

Time to leave your shit on the counter and leave. Vote with your wallet.

America will do anything but pay workers a living wage.

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

For real why dont they do round up tips? if the total is 18.06, show a tip option of 1.94 and indicate the toal would be 20. Im from a country where tipping isnt done but often people would just give a 20 in cases like this and say keep the change. The change is the tip.

[–] Uebercomplicated@lemmy.ml 1 points 19 hours ago

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wtf is wrong with America at this point, Everytime I visit family there I am shocked, SHOCKED, by the absurd tipping!

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've genuinely seen people tape over the no tip section of the screen on smaller pinpad type devices. Not well enough that I tipped, but they tried.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 21 hours ago

I would've pulled off the tape for spite.

This is already the norm in quite a few places in England. They auto-generate a tip on the bill and if you want, you can request the tip to be removed after.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They should auto generate it into the prices and auto generate it into the salary. Crazy concept

[–] Xatolos@reddthat.com 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They should, but they instead taught the staff to demand why you don't want to. I refused in one place and was confronted with them demanding why I wasn't giving them one.

"Was there something wrong with my service? You know that the tip is shared between us and the kitchen...."

I'm not joking.

God, I encountered this once and had to ask for it to be removed. I countered with "are they paying you enough?"

A little backbone from a few customers will make them hate using this system enough, it can be hoped.

[–] witx@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 22 hours ago

And I did that every single time, when I was in London some time ago

[–] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 55 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Over the last six months or so, I haven't tipped once in any establishment whatsoever. I decided it was a cancerous practice and people deserve to be paid what they're due.

so you just go out and eat without tipping

No, I haven't been out to eat in over six months.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago

When we say we're against tipping people really say "then don't eat at restaurants" as if that isn't the best thing we can do for ourselves financially. By not paying restaurant prices I only give myself more money.

You have typed $1.00 $2.00 $3.00

Did you mean 15% 25% 40%?

[–] huzzahunimpressively@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I just never back to that place and also I'm going to give them a bad review

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Bro if there's a website to share this feedback.

I was just at a restaurant where it was 20%, 30%, or 40% tip, and Custom.

Food was good but fuck that, I'm done.

[–] GOTFrog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

I always do custom, becausr tip should be pre tax and those machine calvulate on the final amount. I'll not tip if the service was awful. And never tip if I jave to get my own food.

I agree. The folks who run Square are, indeed, Pieces Of Shit.

That's what you meant, right?

If I'm talking to a cashier instead of putting my card on the table, I haven't been provided a service that warrants tipping.

If this became real, it wouldn't affect me and I'm introverted and near mute in public. I already do this with the "would you like to round up to donate" bullshit. I only have problems saying "no" if it will possibly hurt a person's feelings; idgaf about the feelings of a business.

POS systems including tip requests really piss me off. We recently discovered a great local restaurant and we order food from them (and pick it up, to take home) a few times a month. They have one of those POS systems and it really irritates me to have to tap 'No Tip' in plain view of the cashier every time. We're picking up food; I'm walking up to a counter, collecting a bag, swiping a credit card and leaving. Why the fuck would I tip for that? I don't tip at the grocery store and cashiers there do the same amount of work.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 112 points 2 days ago (3 children)

POS: "Please tell the cashier."

Me to the cashier: "This place needs to pay you a living wage. Let me know if you and your coworkers need help setting up a union."

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

"Here's your tip in cash. Remember to not report it."

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 1 points 21 hours ago

A lot of establishments force employees to put tips into pooled tip jar, which the manager distributes. Maybe they are fair. Maybe they keep a chunk for themselves.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

"Actually cancel my order, this make people tip to avoid an awkward interaction is bullshit and I'm not spending any money here."

I'm so used to telling homeless folks I have no money that I'm pretty sure I can look the barista or whoever straight in the eye and say "No tip."

Actually kind of fucked society pushes us to that point, huh?
