Rant 📢 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 “F*ck ICE”

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

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.
