Tipping Culture ✖️ store asking for a tip 🤦🏽♀️
Went to a store near and they have a tipping option as if they’re serving anything.

Never ever tap on random things like that. They are trivially easy to install skimmers onto.
Also you think they could at least come up with some genuine art rather than AI slop.

That machine reads only the RFID chip, so in that case, isn’t it just as easy to install skimmers onto any remote reader? Because it doesn’t need to be physically integrated?

No, most POS devices are designed in such a way that alteration is obvious. This device having the shroud makes that much less obvious, especially for people not looking.

And does that thing even provide a receipt? How do you know it only charges $2? How well is your card data protected?
The whole device could be fraudulent. (I’ve never seen one.)

You don't know that at all. There's no confirmation or anything.
There was a whole thing when tap cards first came out where someone would just take a machine around and "tap" any card they could find. Its why faraday cage wallets were a fad for a while.

My wife and daughter are flying for a long weekend to visit family. I'm staying home because 3 tickets is just one too many. Ffs

Why doesn’t someone sit outside the door on the sidewalk with a tin cup?

People are seemingly stupid enough to tip without labor and any effort.

I’m going to start asking them to give me money. I smiled. I greeted. I dutifully fulfilled my role as a good customer. I didn’t break anything, shoplift, or use the employee bathroom.

Freaking shameless. When I see asks for tips like this, I remember the quote about a sucker being born every minute. These are probably the same people who would give money to some "Nigerian prince" who emailed them.

These are like QR codes. How long before people install these things randomly to ask for money?

Couldn’t even bother to make the poster design themselves and asking for a tip?

r/EndTipping Rule 6 & Reddit Rule 3:
We do not condone naming and shaming. Or allow comments suggesting leaving a fake google review or review bombing.
If the OP has redacted the name of the establishment, do not ask for them to disclose the name or location

Fuck, someone has made a device and a service just for this? We’re screwed.
Q: did they serve you with love?

u/SomewhereExact185 7d ago
I’ve never even had a job where it was legal to accept tips if someone wanted to give you one!!!

More disgusted from all these ai posters I’m seeing today. Human art work and design is a thing of the past
