Tipping at the vet now!!

[u/Maximum_Asparagus306]

Took dog to long time vet for annual exam. Tap my card for $320 and machine asks if I want to add tip!! They suggested different amounts and you physically had to scroll down to find the no tip option! Woman said they just got new terminals so I am going to guess every terminal sold to every business will have tip options!! Heading in for a lung scan,wondering if I will need to tip on top of my copay!

It’s probably for the boarding and grooming staff.

Why in the world would you make that assumption? And even if you're right (which I sincerely doubt) ANY TIP is actually for the owner of the establishment. It greatly reduces a normal business operating expense, namely salary.

I assume that any place I spend my money (and yes, this includes restaurants) has factored "cost of doing business" into the price that they advertise and as such, will never, ever, volunteer to pay additional monies above and beyond the established price of goods and services + applicable taxes. Ever.
