Do I get the tip in this instance?
Is this at the Newark airport? I flew through there a couple weeks ago and think I went to this same checkout and was equally annoyed.
This is ridiculous …
Just steal at that point
Paying $15 for that wrap is the real crime. Why do you shop there?
It’s an airport
those prices turn nice people into hijackers
Hijacking is soo 80’s. Gotta up your game.
An explanation, but not an excuse.
Whata… Who’s is the tipping supposed to go to??
Shareholders
Don’t tip if you’re standing up!
Haha I guess I have a new personal motto
I’ll have to remember that!
Since it’s self-service, I’ll just tip myself by keeping the money lol
Yeah my many years as a cashier makes my cashiering efforts VERY expensive. Due to my experience, my effort is worth atleast the price of that Vita Coco!
You should have bought something less healthy so you wouldn’t have to pay the 3% fee
There is a 3% tax added specifically to cover extra pay for Airport Workers. Why are you being asked to tip for a self service kiosk.
I hate this. If I don’t tip I’m an asshole. If I tip I let companies pay their workers like garbage.
Dear companies. Pay your employees more. Frankly I’d be less insulted if they just rose the price by 20% then asking me to tip. IMHO if they employers did this they would just pocket the difference.
And I’m guessing bus boys are paid even less than the server.
You’re not a asshole if you don’t tip, it’s not your fault if companies don’t treat their employees right
What happens if you put a negative number in the other box? Does it refund your card for that amount?
If it worked, IANAL, but they did ask how much you wanted to tip and willingly gave you money…seems like a solid defense…any lawyers wanna chime in?
Enter tip amount:
DROP TABLE *;
I feel like tipping when you’re the one doing the checkout means not charging yourself for something? Not really sure how else to view that.
I literally throw one or two sometimes a few things in the bag every time i use one of these as compensation for my efforts. I make it look accidental too by sliding it over the scanner and throwing it in there without skipping a beat. Maybe if they hired cashiers who need the work they would do better on their shrink targets.
I once got a tip prompt on one of those self service kiosks that defaulted to 15%, had options for 20%, and 25%, and there wasn’t a button for no tip.
To not leave a tip, I had to hit Custom, and type in 0.00. They obviously wanted to make leaving no tip as hard as possible without removing it altogether.
This is the way most of the ones around me work. It’s extra frustrating because as soon as you start pressing extra buttons the cashier knows you are not giving a tip. I tip generously at dine in restaurants but tipping for pickup is ridiculous.
I remember in 2021, Wall Street Journal and Readers Digest started pushing the idea that now that covid exists, everybody needs to be tipped unless they legally can’t be (like US mail carriers). I worked in customer service until almost two years ago and I find the idea of having to tip everybody everywhere to be ridiculous. I put their stuff in a bag and handed it to them. Why should I have been entitled to having to guilt people into giving me extra money for doing my job?
What store was this at?
It was at some chicken place at a local mall.
We need some common sense regulations on tips and hidden fees. They need to be limited in some way at this point and, preferably just banned altogether.

It would also be nice to have prices listed including tax, which I believe is how it’s done in the EU.
For a start, regulations that force any system with ‘quick tip’ buttons of 15/20/etc % HAVE to have a No Tip option as well. Can’t force your customers to type out 0.00.
wow nice, where is that so I can avoid it like the black plague? that’s ~$6 food anywhere else.
I’m getting airport vibes
15$ for a chicken ceasar wrap? I get chipotle chicken wraps just like that, in the same containers, for almost 10$ less at 711. In Canada.
Definitely an airport.
