It starts with just 18% tip, but next they’re going to want 18% tip and shaft.

This kind of shit is extra infuriating given the current wealth inequality. Half of American families face food insecurity ffs.
People are outraged once again by out-of-control tipping culture after an airport self-service checkout asked for an 18 percent tip.
The simplest explanation is that it is a default setting or the terminal was used in a different setting previously.
The tips are likely pooled so it won't raise alarm bells.
That wouldn't be newsworthy tho.
I mean, this guy was going to pay $28/gallon for water, what high horse is he falling off of?
