I once got a tip prompt on one of those self service kiosks that defaulted to 15%, had options for 20%, and 25%, and there wasn’t a button for no tip.
To not leave a tip, I had to hit Custom, and type in 0.00. They obviously wanted to make leaving no tip as hard as possible without removing it altogether.
This is the way most of the ones around me work. It’s extra frustrating because as soon as you start pressing extra buttons the cashier knows you are not giving a tip. I tip generously at dine in restaurants but tipping for pickup is ridiculous.
I remember in 2021, Wall Street Journal and Readers Digest started pushing the idea that now that covid exists, everybody needs to be tipped unless they legally can’t be (like US mail carriers). I worked in customer service until almost two years ago and I find the idea of having to tip everybody everywhere to be ridiculous. I put their stuff in a bag and handed it to them. Why should I have been entitled to having to guilt people into giving me extra money for doing my job?
