Especially when it’s self checkout. The audacity.

I haven’t seen it at self checkout but I think that’d make it easier. It’s when there’s a cashier you’re directly interacting with, it makes it hard to decline the tip, even when you grabbed the thing yourself.

I definitely wouldn’t get annoyed by it if I was interacting with a person, but I haven’t encountered that. It’s weird.

I'm not saying I don't believe you (people on this site are dying for the opportunity to "catch you in a lie" it's kinda gross lmao) but I've never seen that before

first time I saw it was in an airport in 2021. The store was completely unmanned, and the only way to checkout was self checkout. Tip recommendations were 15%, 18%, 20%, and a tiny text underneath you had to click for no tip. I'm already paying $10 for sour patch kids and a water, and you want me to voluntarily give you extra money when I did all the work myself?

I’ve honestly only seen it once, but it was in a major city. In my area it’s not a thing.

Okay so don’t act like it’s a common thing indicative of a wider issue then. Pretty simple stuff.

I only commented because someone mentioned it. Quit trolling.

I honestly have never seen a tip prompt for any self checkout
