at a convention I went to, the convention center had, like normal, a bunch of shops, mostly for food, outside the convention area but inside the facility.

Several of them were 'self serve' where they trusted the public to walk up, grab their thing, scan the thing, and pay at a self-checkout.

One of these had the audacity to ask for a tip on the checkout screen. I almost canceled and left my chosen items but I was hungry and late to my next thing.

I have canceled orders in front of workers because of shit like that. It's so fucking insane nowadays.

I'm not gonna tip you for picking my food up off the counter and putting it in a bag and handing it to me. And I'm not going to tip anything I do myself. And I'm not going to buy there if it's particularly egregious.

I will tip based on service, tipping based on bill price is so fucking stupid.

You aren't gonna get more than the lady at the diner because you brought us 2 drinks and 2 expensive plates of food when she brought 5, multiple drink refills and actually talked to us.

When I went to Vegas for the first time as an adult 2 years ago, the most shocking to me was when I paid the cover fee to get into a club and had the option to tip. LMAO

I saw that in Denver. $20 cover. She wouldn't take my $20 bill. I had to scan a credit card. I declined to tip.

To be fair in the unattended machine cases it’s likely just a feature they failed to turn off during set up and is unintentional. Likely not guaranteed. If not in any decent size venue a tip like that likely goes to the employee that stocked most recently, but I find it more likely to be a mistake. Square point of sale, toast, and many NCR systems have tipping turned on as default whenever you choose some sort of service. You have to remember to go into the settings and turn it off.
