America will do anything but pay workers a living wage.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago

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 23 hours ago

Jesus Christ that's cold.

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

[-] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

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 18 hours ago

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

[-] Xatolos@reddthat.com 7 points 1 day ago

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 18 points 1 day ago

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

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.

We had the shittiest service ever at Fogo de Chao and I tipped $20 on a $150 bill. The waiter actually followed us to the door questioning why the tip was low and insulting us.

[-] witx@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 21 hours ago

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

[-] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 7 points 1 day ago

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 19 hours ago

I would've pulled off the tape for spite.

[-] GhiLA@sh.itjust.works 54 points 1 day ago

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.

You have typed $1.00 $2.00 $3.00

Did you mean 15% 25% 40%?

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

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

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.

Eh, custom -> 0% works. I prefer to leave cash tips anyway.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

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

That's what you meant, right?

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

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 125 points 2 days ago

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 19 hours ago

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

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 2 points 19 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.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 hours ago

I assume they're robbing their employees. Whenever possible I do a stealthy hand-off.

If they want to get involved then they can pay their employees more. If they're leaving it up to me, then it's literally none of their business.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 8 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."

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 78 points 2 days ago

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?

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 45 points 2 days ago

The punchline is that the cashier doesn’t get any of the tips; they’re pure profit for the business.
