[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP your post makes some sense, but not everyone has the luxury of finding a better job.

Waiting tables may be the only job a college student is able to work at if the student has day classes, etc.

But yes - ALL employers should pay a living wage to its employees.

At the very least &gt; minimum wage.[/quote]

But OP's point is not that waiters shouldn't get tipped, rather that it's ridiculous to now be asked to tip on every single purchase-coffee, bagels to go, fast food...
And, yes, I'm in agreement that this practice is insane. I just press '0' tip. Why do others feel the pressure to tip just because the screen suggests it?! Common sense people![/quote]

I agree with you except it’s not “just common sense”. They are manipulating emotions and taking advantage of our natural inclination to be kind. The person is looking right at you while they turn turn the screen.  For most of us, pressing $0 feels terrible. But we also realize it’s not our responsibility to pay the employees a better wage, it’s the company’s (who, by the way, are making record profits.) Everyone has their hand out for a little extra and it’s wrong.

And to clarify because some people keeping missing this: we are not talking about waitstaff who make $2.15 an hour. I tip them generously and it seems like most here do. [/quote]
