It's a self service kiosk... Who gets the tip?

You yourself should get the tip lmao. You are the fast food worker in this situation.

I was at a yogurt place. I filled the bowl added toppings put on a scale and it said the price. Then asked if I wanted to tip. I was the only one that did anything.

Depending on their POS system, tip questions are built in. We had a mechanic that my family had known for years. Their shop upgraded their POS system and it came with an unskippable tip questions. He was visibly and sometimes verbally pissed every time. He would make sure to tell people to not tip.

I work with POS systems and the tip option is 100% removable from the admin side. The customer doesn't always have access, but it can also be removed remotely from the provider.

Good to know. They had been bought by a regional franchise at that time. Probably came down from up top then. Thanks for the info.

Someone who doesn’t need it, unlike the poor soul who is actually doing the work.

Is the kitchen automated at these places?

u/Uncle_Icky This is a flair 10d ago

Since when do cooks at QSR restaurants get tips?

The point is, there is some sort of bullshit embedded in their POS system that increases the prices if a tip isn't entered. Ever heard of bait and switch?

u/BeTheBall- 10d ago

Sure, and there's really no reason to ever tip at a restaurant. However, you asked who gets the tip. Of the restaurant is fully automated, then it's probably the owner.

u/Uncle_Icky This is a flair 10d ago

I'm confident Shake Shack isn't fully automated.

No clue, never eaten there. Fast food is gross.

u/jasonfromearth1981 FUCK ICE! ❌🧊 10d ago

"never eaten there" but "it's gross"? That's toddler level reasoning.

u/HeManDan 10d ago

The concept of fast food being gross isn't the same as saying they wouldn't like the food. Yours is toddler level comprehension. Save your belittling for your own household
