True, but it's bothering me that instead of America becoming like the rest of the world and eliminating tipping, much of the rest of the world is becoming more like America. Tipping used to be so unheard of in parts of Europe that the waiter/barman would assume you left money on the table by mistake and would try to give it back to you. Not anymore. It started innocently enough with the "leave the change (coins) on the table as a small token of appreciation ..."

You get much better service for throwing a few bucks tho and the staff are paid a pittance at most of these. Best solution would be to just pay everyone a living wage but we know that's not going happen. o this idea is great IF the workers get to keep their tips.

ScotSHO Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 It does sound a bit gimmicky but probably appreciated by the average service worker. True to brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just stupid and make no logical sense. The price of an item should be the price of an item, plain and simple. Spot on. I especially hate the default tip screen on the Toast registers that make you add an extra 20% when all they did was turn around and pour a coffee in a cup. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cooked it, then put it in a box. You get nothing, good day sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
