I will boycott any business that encourages tipping, fuck that.
A while back I remember a trend starting of having EFTPOS terminals ask for tips. It was kind of stated it was to try to capitalise on tourists, but the trend seems to have died.
I haven't seen any in a while.
It’s still extremely common over here in Australia, and I often get dirty looks for tapping “No Tip”.
The pressure is definitely mounting.
You should make comments to the server about how the owner must not pay their staff enough if they need tips (bonus points if the server is also the owner). Could make comments about how companies are trying to turn Australia into the US because the companies must hate Australia. Lots of opportunity to make them feel bad for asking instead of you feeling bad for saying no.
Especially if it's not even table service!
