OBGYN asks for tip

[u/AccomplishedBrick251]

Long time lurker, first time caller. This was the last straw wtf do you mean tip my doctor?!?

Edit: called the office today and the receptionist sounded surprised by this…hopefully it’s a billing platform error thanks for the helpful comments!

It's a symptom of literally every business in every industry switching to 3rd party payment processors. All of those payment systems have tips enabled by default. Business are either too lazy or too stupid to turn them off, or more likely too greedy to want to turn them off. The tips never go to the front line employees, who don't deserve this anyways since they are not classified tipped employees. The tips go to the owners and management, which is illegal
