The craziest thing to me are the places that have steadily raised the percentages for the default buttons. It's a percentage, it already accounts for inflation automatically 😑

I just hit no tip and say thanks! And walk out. It's not difficult.

What are they going to do? Make a scene? I pray they would.

I'm sorry, you tell me what fucking service I'm tipping you for? Do you tip your plumber? Do you tip the attendant at a roller coaster at a theme park? Do you tip front desk attendant at a hotel? No...pray tell, why do you think you need a tip for pouring me two-hour old hot bean water? Did you grind it by hand at my request? Did you personally see to it that I received only the very best beans at ye Starbucks roasteries? No? Then fuck off.

It's extortion. You get the special cup they've been saving all day that the guy spat in if you don't tip.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 months ago

Yeah but the wages of these employees haven't. Don't go making the employer raise their hourly rate!

So inconsiderate of you.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Yes! A 15% tip in 1980 should still be a 15% tip today. Not this 20-25% madness that they try to keep pushing.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

In the 90s at least, 15% was for EXCEPTIONAL service...

Now its 15% if they dont spit in your food....

Just leave when the screen shows up!

Take your shit and go.

If they then enter a tip sue them.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Every place I've been to has the tip screen appear before you pay.

Went to Greece last year and they're pushing this shit. Shoving a card machine in your face begging for a tip

In Europe. Fuck you, Stavros

Press "no tip" while making direct eye contact, and sit in their fucking seat while posting a 1 star review on Maps for spoiling my evening with harassment

It's your civic duty as a European

And that is why they have it. Because people are too ashamed to say no to corporate beggars.

Why not gif? It's basically a universal format. The file size is reasonable. And gif is lossless if you stay within a limited color palette, which this comic does.

It's basically a universal format.

True, it even has "interchange" in the name!

CompuServe encouraged the adoption of GIF by providing downloadable conversion utilities for many computers. By December 1987, for example, an Apple IIGS user could view pictures created on an Atari ST or Commodore 64.

For one, I can't zoom in on my phone.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nor can I but I think that’s the fault of the app I’m using rather than it being a GIF.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Sync works too.

I’d like to see ‘tip’ and ‘gratuity’ legally protected as terms. So if it says ‘tip’ it must 100% go to the servers only. Very few do like they used to.

I just had the most American thing happen to me today. I was asked to tip while purchasing fireworks for the 4th of July.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Did you shoot the teller then proceeded to load as many fireworks as you could into your f150 ?

I'm waiting for a tip prompt from the forced self checkout kiosk at the supermarket.

I almost feel like I've read somewhere that it has already happened.

Newark airport self service tills ask for a tip.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Within the past year or so, I've started seeing the option to tip show up on random e-commerce sites when I go to checkout. I'm hoping it's a short lived fad and that it doesn't start becoming a super common thing because for now it's rare enough that I can abandon my cart and go shop elsewhere when it happens.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

The only time I regularly tip is when I go to Cold Stone to make the employees dance and sing for me so I can feel like a billionaire.
