I think the only people who can be defensible over American style tipping in this day and age are people with an uncommon degree of wealth and are patrons of specialty boutiques who likely never frequent places operated by your average wage earner.

So you know, wine country vegan artisan type shit. The $800 dollar hair salon appointment holders. The $60 dollar tequila shot buyer.

And while they can be defensible over their tipping, it often is the case they themselves are not defensible in their economic participation.

I am sorry, I am not tipping 2$ for people to turn around and get my coffee from a tap.

Tipping waiters will be my final compromise with tipping culture. I never order delivery from app because I refuse to be forced to tip the delivery person after being charged delivery fee and serivce fee. I also do not tip countertop worker.

The problems with tipping culture aside, the eyes in this strip are just perfect. I love it.

That's one of the things I hated when I visited Norway. I didn't expect to see that in a European country.

In Canada they don't have a "no tip" option any more, instead you have to click $ or % and put in 0. So what I do is I type in 0000 so they hear four inputs and think they're getting at least 10$ even though i'm not tipping at all.

It should be illegal to not have a clear NO TIP button. I feel like we could easily legislate that if our politicians weren't all spineless worms

I don't tip, ever, even if the service is good. No one tips me at my job regardless how I do it.

I’ve started giving 1 star review for anyplace that does this. Especially if before I’ve even received my food. Please join me… They use shame and guilt as a weapon. We can also

is that really necessary for American?

[–] noisypine@infosec.pub 1 points 11 months ago

Yes. It's extremely common to have some device that asks you how much you want to tip before you can complete the transaction. They are nearly always placed in a spot and angled so the employees can see it too, guilting customers in to tipping.

I only tip my waiters and my landlords.

Smh at all these down voters who don't tip their hardworking landlords. Who do you think holds this world together?
