It doesn't have to be like this, America. Not only is tipping not expected in Australia, but when the "Choose tip" screen comes up on US made software, all the servers I've ever had skip straight through it and choose zero.

Servers deserve to be paid fairly.

So hard to get a thank you. Manners these days...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

This is why I have stopped dining out, if the business demands excess to then pay staff and without tips staff go unpaid then what is it I am supporting.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

I award you no tips, and may God have mercy on your soul!

Custom 0%

It ain't my job to pay your employees salaries

Maybe it's your job to avoid patronizing places that don't pay their employees enough though?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (18 children)

No, it's not, however as a near-minimum wage worker myself, it is also not my job to cover a massive corporation's lack of proper budgeting...

I absolutely will pick the no-tips place given a choice, but I take issue with that wording. Basically every business pays as little as possible, by design.

This would get an immediate Custom -> 0% from me the moment I see it.

Fucking "soso" for a 20% tip the hell

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

As a dev I would try negative value in the custom field.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

If this is in a restaurant after I've eaten, it would get 0% and I'd never go there again.
If this is presented to me somewhere you pay before consuming your food/purchase, I'm leaving without paying.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

There's no 20 it's 30%!! Insane.

If you can't afford living wages for your staff so they're not dependant on tips, your store shouldn't be open.

[–] [email protected] 130 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (14 children)

Everyone working a job should be making a living wage. "Oh, but then the price of my McDonald's cheeseburger will skyrocket!!" Fucking good. If it's not economical to produce a product without abusing people, that product shouldn't exist. Period. I will die on this hill.

"Oh, but then the price of my McDonald's cheeseburger will skyrocket!!" Fucking good

I don't know why people keep repeating this propaganda. Plenty of countries pay actual wages to their employees, don't have tipping, and the prices are still fucking cheaper than America.

If any place said a 30% tip is so so, I'm not tipping.

This would be an automatic "custom" > 0% for me. Sorry, not sorry.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

30% is "soso" but a 100% is only "Thank You"? In this case the 100% should be "Walk over to the other side of the register so the boss can blow You".

[–] [email protected] 222 points 3 days ago (6 children)

I know tipping culture is extreme, but I've never seen 100%. I don't think this is real.

[–] [email protected] 131 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I can't find the original image, it's just been reshared dozens of times on Xitter, Threads, Facebook and Reddit, but nobody is adding context or naming and shaming.

So yeah, probably just ragebait.

Select "Custom" and type 0.00 without breaking eye contact. Be careful, though, that 0.00 can quickly turn into 8.88 if you're not looking.

10-15% IF you went above and beyond or performed particularly well. It's a tip, I am not your employer. I used to be a huge tipper until I realized just how fucked that whole system is. Also, NEVER PRE-TIP. That is insane!

This was at a self-service kiosk, too, right?

The moment they ask for a tip they are not getting anything nor a repeat customer.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Presenting the possibility to tip on the screen is ok, I think. The tone (and from my European perspective the percentages) is, what I find weird.

I don't mind paying for the convenience. I tip well. I do wish we lived in a country where living wages were a thing. But we don't. We're a giant slave colony owned by like 5 megacorps.

My question here is, how much was the bill? 5 or $600?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

95, lol, the percentages are there on the screen

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

Yep. Sure is. Hopefully that makes my blonde moment quota for a few days.

I frequent a bagel place that automatically adds a fairly hefty (not THAT hefty) tip when you pre-order online for in-store pickup.

If not for the fact that they are by far the best place to go for bagels in my area (we have few choices), that alone would stop me from ordering.

Their bagels are good, and I'm not above tipping at a bagel place. But their prices are already very high for a bagel place (they know what they got), they do brisk business, and they should damn well be paying their employees more rather than trying to sneak a 25% tip into every online order. It doesn't even present it as in OP - it's just there in the itemization in the end and you need to manually edit it out before ordering.

Edt - oh and if real, I ain't never going back to the place in OP after seeing that one time.
