Mildly Infuriating

I frequent a bagel place that automatically adds a fairly hefty (not THAT hefty) tip when you pre-order online for in-store pickup.

If not for the fact that they are by far the best place to go for bagels in my area (we have few choices), that alone would stop me from ordering.

Their bagels are good, and I'm not above tipping at a bagel place. But their prices are already very high for a bagel place (they know what they got), they do brisk business, and they should damn well be paying their employees more rather than trying to sneak a 25% tip into every online order. It doesn't even present it as in OP - it's just there in the itemization in the end and you need to manually edit it out before ordering.

Edt - oh and if real, I ain't never going back to the place in OP after seeing that one time.

Relevant post from earlier this month

Honestly if it starts at 30% then im 0% tipping and they can fuck right off.

Isn't 10% the usual tip amount?

We need to bring back the public stockades.

30% is "soso" but a 100% is only "Thank You"? In this case the 100% should be "Walk over to the other side of the register so the boss can blow You".

I've actually seen 2 recent practices that I hate more than this. While this is frustrating, at least you can input a custom tip. I've also seen them where they show 3 different dollar amounts that don't indicate percentage but doing the math, it's definitely way over the usual 20%. Then there's the one I hate the most which I keep seeing at places where you don't usually tip. You go to pay with your card and the little transaction/card machine shows different tip amounts, the default of which is already set. If you don't want to leave a tip, you have to figure out which button to push to do so. They're all different and it can be very confusing. I even saw one where each option was labeled in correlation with a button on the screen, except that they didn't match up. And what do you do then? Ask the person at the register how not to tip them?

This is why I have stopped dining out, if the business demands excess to then pay staff and without tips staff go unpaid then what is it I am supporting.

"100€, keep the change."

I award you no tips, and may God have mercy on your soul!

Fake: Tip isn't calculated on top of tax.

Edit: this was a joke

Tip 1% whenever they dont offer a realistic choice

“soso” 😂 I’m laughing but it’s not funny

This is clearly fake, right?

I don't mind paying for the convenience. I tip well. I do wish we lived in a country where living wages were a thing. But we don't. We're a giant slave colony owned by like 5 megacorps.

My question here is, how much was the bill? 5 or $600?

At this point I'd go full Karen asking to speak to the supervisor, then taking my business elsewhere.

Vote with your wallet.

100% you only receive a thank you?
