This is a fucking insult

    I’m in the US so I tip people who rely on tips to make it by in this capitalist dystopia, like waitstaff. That’s fucking it. Anyone else asking for a tip can get rekt.

    Why is this even an issue? Are people actually tipping everyone now? Stop it! Don’t let people manipulate you and keep your money.

    This is like when fast food places ask if you want to round your order up to the next dollar to donate to x cause.

    Like, no, Taco Bell, I don’t want to pay you so you can turn around and get credit (both in terms of laundering their image, and for tax purposes) for my donation.

    The machines should tip the customer for doing job well. After all, it’s him doing the work cashier typically does.

    I find it much nicer to use the self checkouts cause I have no issues with telling a machine to fuck off with their donations or tips. I get guilted a bit by the human cashiers and end up tipping or donating, with a machine I instantly hit no.

    I would interpret this to mean this established company is underpaying staff to maximize profits. My tips, at best, would mitigate that cruelty by a tiny bit, assuming management isn’t stealing the tips.

    It means this business needs to fail, and its workers need to unionize.
