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.
Yes! A 15% tip in 1980 should still be a 15% tip today. Not this 20-25% madness that they try to keep pushing.
A bunch of grocery stores have also eliminated the “bagger” job, leaving you to do it yourself, but then also ask for a tip! Store cut costs by paying their employees shit, heaping more work on them, and then asking you to give their poor ass employees some money. Give them the money you saved on eliminating the bag people!
Just leave when the screen shows up!
Take your shit and go.
If they then enter a tip sue them.
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
I think the prominence of tip options is largely driven by the POS/payments platforms. Square, for example, wants you to tip because they get $.10 + 2.6% of the transaction. They would get this from the total transaction, so if you tip $2 they’ll get almost $.3 of that tip as part of the total transaction fee. They make it easy to enable for the vendor, but inconvenient to skip in the UI if enabled because you have to push a button to get to the receipt button. Plus why would the employee skip it? It might make them a little extra cash. The power of defaults is strong.
And that is why they have it. Because people are too ashamed to say no to corporate beggars.
Why is this a gif???
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.
Nor can I but I think that’s the fault of the app I’m using rather than it being a GIF.
