It’s gotten rather absurd. If my interaction is with a kiosk short of being handed something, it’s an insulting extra step. I’m already paying the price for my employer’s pay scale … I can’t take on someone else’s stinginess.

    North of the border, the Canadians are also getting pissed off. My 72-year-old mother accidentally press the tip button on a self-service gas pump and tipped 20%. She was livid.

    Over here in the EU we don’t do the tipping. It is proposed on things like Uber Eats and some of the riders certainly take their time if they don’t get a tip. Pardon my French, but when they roll up in a car or on a scooter, they can fuck right off. I tip cash when the deliverer is on a bike.

      Genuinely wondering, who even gets the tip in that case? Or is it just a donation to the billion dollar multinational corporation?

        Employees would need to trust their employers quite a bit in this case. And if you tip with your card, employers probably deduct a percentage and call it a “transaction fee” and pocket that too.
