*edited post title to make it clear that this is a joke
I've completely lost my chill with forced tips. If that was take out I would tell them they could keep it.
Jesus Christ that's cold.
Time to leave your shit on the counter and leave. Vote with your wallet.
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.
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.
And I did that every single time, when I was in London some time ago
They should auto generate it into the prices and auto generate it into the salary. Crazy concept
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.
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.
I would've pulled off the tape for spite.
You have typed $1.00 $2.00 $3.00
Did you mean 15% 25% 40%?
I'd just turn around and leave without paying and leave what ever it is I was gonna buy right there at the counter
Well you've already been charged so....
No. The machine asks you for a tip before you pay.
Cancel button in this case and leaving WITH what you've paid for in your case.
The cancel button is top right
I just never back to that place and also I'm going to give them a bad review
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.
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.
Custom -25% inconvenience fee.
I wish that worked...
I also wish I could charge businesses for my time dealing with their BS. For example, I needed to go down to the bank to open a new account because they couldn't identify me, but when I showed up, there were no bankers present. So I made an appointment, and still had to wait for a banker. Or when I had to wait on hold for half an hour just to cancel a credit card because there's no way to do that online (and they have no branches), and they do that just to have a chance at convincing me to keep it.
If companies can charge me a fee for "maintenance" or "convenience" or whatever, surely I should be able to charge them a reasonable per-instance inconvenience fee (i.e. my hourly rate at my job, or what I'd charge for contract work).
Dude I think I'd be switching banks, if it's that much of a hassle to get established, I don't want to know the hassle if something actually needed to be done
I mostly did it for a signup bonus, so I was technically compensated, but I've had BS like that with all sorts of other businesses, like waiting on hold to talk to someone to fix a mistake they made. Maybe that's an airline, insurance, or retailer. Waiting for 5-10 minutes is fair, waiting over an hour is not.
These orgs can charge a late fee if my payment is late by a day due to things outside my control (e.g. an error in their payment scheduler), but I can't charge them for wasting my time due to them cheaping out on support staff.
It's a pretty common problem IMO, but the customer has no recourse.
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.
When we say we're against tipping people really say "then don't eat at restaurants" as if that isn't the best thing we can do for ourselves financially. By not paying restaurant prices I only give myself more money.

I agree. The folks who run Square are, indeed, Pieces Of Shit.
That's what you meant, right?
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.
