look for that curved arrow that says 'share' and then find the 'copy link' option... then you can paste it wherever, here or in a text message to someone, or a fascistbook post, etc.
I think people should routinely enter $0.05 for the tip part so the company loses money processing it. That'll learn 'em!
well I'm not yer average pretty ugly face, y'know!
I saw a news article about this a bit ago. Some people seriously consider it to be a form of emotional blackmail. I mean, if you can feel emotionally "blackmailed" by a machine then I'm pretty sure you could be held up through the mail.
But you gotta admit the balls here. These companies want YOU to tip THEM for YOU doing THEIR job, or more accurately the jobs head office scrapped for this nonsense.
But it gets better. Once you check out you have to submit to a "check" by a human watching over the machines. Well fuck you. If you don't trust me to do one of the jobs for free that you've eliminated, then maybe start rehiring people to do those jobs.
Besides, who the hell has EVER tipped the checkout cashier, or anyone else in a grocery store?

Bag boy count?
Oh, right, 'scuse me. "Customer-based product transportation system person."
I've always tipped well.
But I don't like being guilt tripped into tipping. Starbucks just added the tip option in their Drive Thru's when paying debit. You can't just tap and go now...you have to go through the tip options first. This to me is insulting and holds up the line even longer.
Subway, Pizza Pizza, and many other outlets now make you go through the tipping menu before you tap your card.
My daughter actually works at a Starbucks and told me her tips were up $100.00 on her last paycheck.

Why pay a living wage when you can make somebody else do it?
I think it all started with the air hose at the Gas Station. Filling up your car tires used to be free. Now it's 2 bucks a shot.
And I just bought a new BBQ. It came in 2000 pieces. That guy who invented 'assemble yourself' should be drawn and quartered.

Hmm. . . disassembly. Fitting punishment. Kinda ironic an' stuff.
The question, though, is whether your self-service tips go to the staff. . . or the machine.
Or corporate.
Or George Soros.

Wife bought some flowers a while back at this little shop. The lady charged her an extra 10 bucks for an arrangement fee. Arrangement fee?? Isn't this part of your job...arranging the flowers?
It is programmed into the machine by the suppliers , the stores aren’t actively seeking tips . They use the same program as bars restaurants etc. who are actively pursuing tips . The no tip option is easily visible and there is no shame in using it .
