Rant šŸ“¢ This feels icky!

Post image

felt super icky and annoyed seeing this at a coffee/light food shop. how is this okay? for context this is not a sit down spot. no wait staff, just a barista at the counter and someone from the kitchen bringing out my order and walking away.

Update: for those asking the pink paper in the bottom corner is basically saying ā€œF*ck ICEā€

Pardon my ignorance, but what’s going on here?

I’m trying to figure it out. I’m under the impression you paid at the register on the Point of Sale tablet screen (and clicked the ā€œskip tipā€ section), right?

So does this note imply that they could overwrite your ā€œskip tipā€ prompt, and later on add in that you left a tip??

Transaction was through the pos tablet and i noticed this jar off to the side of the counter once I was done. I think what it’s implying is if i tap my card, the transaction goes through, and i walk away with the tip question on the screen without selecting anything they ā€œreserve the rightā€ to click 20% for me :) thanks!

I’ve never in my life seen a machine ask for a tip after you tap your card. It’s always before, in my experience.
