The meme says “IRS”, so it’s obviously intended to refer to America.
But outside of that context, they’d fucking deserve it for their shitty dark pattern UX trying to export American tipping culture into the civilised world. If people want to tip, they can do it using cash (so the money actually goes to the person you intended it to!). Or at most, there could be a little “tip” button in the corner somewhere that then takes you to a page like this. It shouldn’t be shoved in our faces like this.
Live in a country where tipping is practically unheard of. Lately pay terminals have started appearing in restaurants that have asking for tip enabled by default, and restaurants often don’t know how to disable it.
Well, at least there are some safeguards. I was handed the terminal so I put in my PIN code, not realising it was actually asking for a tip. I was pretty confused when it said “value too high” or something like that.
restaurants often don’t know how to disable it.
The owners know how. They also know that by leaving it there they make extra money on top of sales. They also know that the person getting berated for having it there is the worker who can’t change it.
I, an American, was ashamed when I had to ask that a tip be removed from my bill at a restaurant in Camden.
CAMDEN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WOKE AND Y’ALL FUCKING DOG OVER HERE
Pay your damn staff a good wage
Camden in Sydney? That’s appalling. It’s bad enough to be presented with a screen like in the OP. Needing to actually speak to a person to not have a tip added sounds probably illegal.
Camden Town in London actually; historically counterculture, but punk is dead at The Cheese Bar.
Am farmer, can confirm. I also have my chequebook with me… Non-farmers, when was the last time you wrote a cheque, aside from rent? I feel like we’re the only ones still using them.
Americunts shit on you when you tell them tipping culture is bad. Like, here in my third world country, where we all earn a misery compared to the minimum wage in burger land, we can say no to tips or just give a few cents or some more…fuck this. Food is already expensive. I am not going to waste extra cash for my food.
Who the fuck defends tipping culture, you’re just making shit up to justify your hatred of an entire country
I’ve seen plenty of wait staff show up to defend tipping in Reddit threads. They’d rather shame customers than demand fair wages from their employers. Or maybe they were all just bots.
Plenty. I have had people tell me I am inhumane for criticising tipping culture, and if I point out it is related to the extreme class system and slavery history of America they downvote me to hell and try to justify that it is “land of tha free” or whatever.
They don’t even have freedom from hunger or illness in their messed up country.
I’ve seen a lot of people, including servers and diners, defending tipping culture.
Sadly.
I’m on the side of tipping while in a tipping culture, but only because of the crap way servers are payed and they’re the only ones hurt by protesting through refusing to tip. Otherwise, it’s a practice that needs to die.
Little Bobby Tables says hi.
the adjectives on the tip options are so weird lol What a shitty system to even exist
I think it’s “Best Service Ever”.
The picture on this page seems to have the same screen minus the red box.
One day someone will use the SQL injection to execute code on the remote server to add message to the web site that tells the workers to unionise and demand actually fair wages and put an end to the whole tipping nonsense
Jokes on you. Restaurant owner too rich, behavior is within normal range for IRS AI.
Though the AI is interested on how your bank account is higher than it’s supposed to be.
