It ain’t my job to pay your employees salaries

Maybe it’s your job to avoid patronizing places that don’t pay their employees enough though?

No, it’s not, however as a near-minimum wage worker myself, it is also not my job to cover a massive corporation’s lack of proper budgeting…

If you keep patronizing such businesses, why would they ever do that? They know they don’t have to in order to get your money. And it is the same with your own near-minimum wage job. You are working against your own best interests. Nothing will change while people are willing to give their money to companies that don’t pay their workers a fair wage.

I absolutely will pick the no-tips place given a choice, but I take issue with that wording. Basically every business pays as little as possible, by design.

“As little as possible” and “not enough” are two different things.

It doesn’t have to be like this, America. Not only is tipping not expected in Australia, but when the “Choose tip” screen comes up on US made software, all the servers I’ve ever had skip straight through it and choose zero.

Servers deserve to be paid fairly.

The fact you have to say “likely” rather than “outright bullshit” says everything. As an european If america didn’t exist I’d know this image is a joke.

I also can’t believe it is real, but I wouldn’t discount it as being fake. Similar case below:

Your link shows an entirely different tip screen.

It is different, but close enough that I won’t be surprised this is real.

That was followed by an option of 30%, described as “Great;” 50%, rated as “Wow!” and finally 100%, which the tip screen noted was for the “Best Service Ever!” per the outlet

That is one example of it occurring, yes, but similarities with the image presented here and your source end at the 100% tip. Everything else has been modded to bait that rage.

This would be an automatic “custom” > 0% for me. Sorry, not sorry.

This would get an immediate Custom -> 0% from me the moment I see it.

Fucking “soso” for a 20% tip the hell

As a dev I would try negative value in the custom field.

If this is in a restaurant after I’ve eaten, it would get 0% and I’d never go there again.
If this is presented to me somewhere you pay before consuming your food/purchase, I’m leaving without paying.

They know there’s soft, weak people like me that find it painful because the guy in front of you can see it. I mean, I’m a good principled person and I’ve still done it, but I felt like trash in the process.

I guess it was just a matter of time before other classes than the bottom one figured out aggressive panhandling.

Man I’d leave a 1% tip just in case someone sees it and realizes that it was on purpose because I’m annoyed with the UX

Also, holy hell, am I glad to live in a country that doesn’t do tipping*. It was a bit weird going to the US and not knowing when to tip and when not to, but I doubt I’ll be revisiting y’all in the next 4 years anyway :(

*At restaurants with table service, it’s considered polite, but not necessary, to tip, if you enjoyed the experience.
