I've actually seen 2 recent practices that I hate more than this. While this is frustrating, at least you can input a custom tip. I've also seen them where they show 3 different dollar amounts that don't indicate percentage but doing the math, it's definitely way over the usual 20%. Then there's the one I hate the most which I keep seeing at places where you don't usually tip. You go to pay with your card and the little transaction/card machine shows different tip amounts, the default of which is already set. If you don't want to leave a tip, you have to figure out which button to push to do so. They're all different and it can be very confusing. I even saw one where each option was labeled in correlation with a button on the screen, except that they didn't match up. And what do you do then? Ask the person at the register how not to tip them?

[to cashier] "excuse me, ma'am, i can't seem to find the button to not leave a tip. can you show me where it is?"

I leave a Google review for places that have shitty tipping practices.

Isn't 10% the usual tip amount?

[–] moody@lemmings.world 5 points 8 hours ago

15% has been the standard for many decades, and even that is supposed to be optional.

We need to bring back the public stockades.

[–] jbloggs777@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Nothing like a good pillory to brighten your day!

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

And they're perfect for this kind of thing! What better way to punish rude tip demands? Despite how rude it is, you don't want to throw someone in jail over this. A fine? You risk the fine being so low it's just a cost of business or so high you just ruined some service worker's life. This is exactly where the pillory shines!

Demand a tip like this? To the stockades with you! Spend an afternoon chained up by the sidewalk, while people throw tomatoes at you. No real harm done. Just public embarrassment.

I gu-ar-an-tea the server didn't make up those tips, so we're talking about the manager, or corporate flunky in the stocks, right?

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

This seems something done by the servers. The managers, let alone corporate, don't care about the tip amounts. Why would corporate design a system to enrage customers, when corporate isn't the one receiving the money?

[–] Kyatto@leminal.space 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

it's going to be corporate, In-store managers have practically no control. The person in charge of these practices is likely to be titled a regional director or similar, and even then they are going to be "translating" and implementing board/owner instructions.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Cool, do we make them wear their taylored suits while in the stocks? If so, I'm so in on this idea.

[–] Kyatto@leminal.space 1 points 5 hours ago

but of course. unless stripping them nude is an option.

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

“soso” 😂 I’m laughing but it’s not funny

"100€, keep the change."

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

It is normal to leave a 10-20% tip for certain jobs. However, this is just insane. I would probably lose my shit if I was prompted to leave a 100% tip. That's completely nuts.

Where was this taken? I want to avoid it as much as possible.

[–] piskertariot@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

At this point I'd go full Karen asking to speak to the supervisor, then taking my business elsewhere.
