I was just at a cafeteria without any cashiers. Just a touch screen to check out. Very few workers.

Can’t wait for this to happen. No tip of course

Honestly I can’t wait for the robots to serve me. Most people don’t do a better job anyway, but then I have to interact and tip.
For a casual place I don’t mind paying at the counter and picking up at the counter etc.
and robots can make coffee now. Bring them on!

I agree. What a ridiculous thing to whine about. It takes a small cheap person to complain about adding a few dollars for the people who served you. Their excuses are laughable.

You have a lunch for two. The bill is $20. How hard is it to leave $25? What is the big deal?

If you don’t tip everyone you interact with, then you get it. Grocery store cashier, oil change guy, mailman, tee shirt seller, etc. our points are: don’t ask for tips when you’re not serving anyone, don’t swing a screen around seeking a tip if you did your adequately paid job, don’t expect
More than 15-20% for a tip in industries where it’s historically been expected to tip, don’t expect bigger or any tips purely because: your screen asks for one, my household income can afford it, you make less than I do, you did a job that’s not typically tipped, you want more tips, etc.

I don’t get why you’re confused, but to clarify: tipping wasn’t created or sustained because paying more than the stated amount is “no big deal” to me. By even saying - what’s the big deal if you leave $5 on a $20 bill- shows you have an entitled viewpoint.

Ridiculous! When I'm prompted I hit no tip. I still consider 15% decent and 20% good. If they want more then that, they need a better job. Once the employers have a hard time with staffing they will raise wages. It's called capitalism.

it's also called, "gee, why is the place I used to go to all the time closed now and the storefront is vacant?"

You guys are either lazy asses or don't know how to cook! Why would you spend so much time and money on eating out, that too at the same place?! If the store I go to is closed, I just go to another one. Do you know how many restaurants there are around where we live?

I'd love that. Absolutely no tip

The automated tip screens border on fraud.

What does that got to do anything? But, if it matters to you, yes I did work at a sandwich shop while in college.

In DC, aren't they raising the minimum wage to phase out tips? Does that mean we won't be expected to tip in DC? Serious question, I'm unclear if this is to just generally raise wages for workers, on top of tips? Or if tipping will phase out by 2027 as well.

OP here, did not expect this thread to take off.... I tip 20%, it's easiest. (Just double the first two digits). But I will say I resent being prompted for 22% and also the sneaky "suggested tips" that use the AFTER tax amount to calculate the tip.

I do believe in being a generous tipper but I think this is going too far....

It's not hypocritical in the slightest. It's demanding that employers pay their people well and do their jobs. Why is the restaurant industry exempt from every basic business practice that the rest of the corporate world employs? I bet you demand that Amazon pay living wages. What would you say if Amazon required a 20% tip for all delivery people? You'd think that was crazy, right? Same thing. Stop being daft.

Oh, I see, you’re putting the squeeze on the workers to get at their employers. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

I'm not putting the squeeze on anyone. I don't employ these people. The employers who refuse to pay living wages does. Why we insist that consumers pad their salaries because employers refuse to is beyond me. but sure, blame everyone but the employer.

The mature and generous and truly non-self-centered thing to do is lobby the people in charge to raise minimum wages. It’s not to refuse to tip the waiters. You’re making excuses to justify your own avarice.

Interesting that you are so focused on HER avarice and not the employer's. Do you own a bar or something?

I pay taxes on all my income. Why is it an issue if other people have to pay taxes on their income?

Nope. When you go to buffets, the restaurants still expect a twenty-percent tip on the table.
