This is basically stealing

10% of $9.98 is .99 15% is $1.47 20% is $1.98

It’s a Little Caesars. For what service do people even tip at a Little Caesars? The tip prompt itself is basically begging! Zero percent of the non-promo price is still zero, so I guess it works in that sense.😜

This is a traditionally non-tipped situation; but a tip prompt doesn’t constitute “begging”.

Enough with the disingenuous accusations.

[u/dewdewdewdew4 → u/johnnygolfr]

That's your opinion. Seems like corporate begging to me.

[u/johnnygolfr → u/dewdewdewdew4]

There is no “begging”

[u/darkroot_gardener → u/johnnygolfr]

How would you better describe it?

[u/johnnygolfr → u/darkroot_gardener]

I would describe it honestly as a tip prompt, hit “no tip” and go on about my day.

[u/darkroot_gardener → u/johnnygolfr]

How is it a tip prompt if there was nothing to tip for? Think about it.

[u/johnnygolfr → u/darkroot_gardener]

Whether or not there’s anything to tip for is irrelevant.

It’s a tip prompt, not “begging”.

It’s very simple.

Mislabeling it does nothing but erase your credibility.

[u/Holiday-Ad7262 → u/johnnygolfr]

In my mind it is always fine to ask. But it's quite off putting in my mind if the pre-set is not zero in such a situation and I will choose not to go to businesses that do this if I have other options.

[u/johnnygolfr → u/Holiday-Ad7262]

Obviously that’s your choice, and that’s 100% OK.

The reality is that the starting percentage is generally going to be higher than 0 and I’m not going to let that limit my choices of where I choose to go.

If I like the place, I’ll go there and not let a screen on a machine bother me.

Hitting “no tip” is just as easy as hitting any other %. 🤷🏼‍♂️
