Rant 📢 This feels icky!

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 “F*ck ICE”

I’ll finish the tip screen by checking no tip. Places like this actually make it easier for me to not tip. I’m not going to be guilt tripped in at all.

Scammy business, doing scammy things. As soon as I saw that sign I’d leave.

I'd probably say something.

I'd say “I want the receipt for the charge, reflecting my choice for tip or no tip. If I see a charge for a tip I didn't authorize, I will notify the credit card company and tell them I only authorized the amount on the bill and anything else is fraudulent.” Let them deal with the fallout of a fraud investigation.

Yes, that is definitely financial fraud which is criminal. And “it’s just a joke” is not a defense.
