the liquor store near us updated their debit card machine to ask for tip and it's the most confusing thing ever because i am grabbing beer off the shelf and bringing it to the front and they just ring me up and i leave
so now i just don't shop there anymore cuz the anxiety of staring a cashier down while i hit No Tip is too much for my brain to handle
they're not. we have a chain of govt. owned stores but private ones (like this one) have been around for a few decades now
Ok, yeah. I guess it doesn't change the awkwardness of this but it was weirder to image the province suggesting a tip in this. Thanks
Yeah, the liquor store tip etiquette always feels weird to me. I guess tip if someone actually goes out of their way to help…? But a tip option that doesn’t get used 99% of the time feels weird
I hate it cuz I also can't suss out like... are you used to this? To me hitting no? Are you suddenly getting paid less because this is in place now?
My local outright put up a little note on the card reader saying "it's fine to hit no tip"; they must get asked about it a lot
yeah, I've definitely had LC employees go out of there way in a way that warranted a tip (either to them or a proxy) but not at the rate that would warrant the option
if it's one of these white wireless terminals i think tipping is enabled by default. had to configure one for my dad's store cause his terminal asked for tipping for shoe repairs lmfao. dude probably just forgot to turn it off or just kept it on in case
Yeah in Australia places struggle with the fact that all the US-based companies have tipping on by default and they can't figure out how to turn it off. So they awkwardly take the machine back from you to hit "no tip" before you put your card in
