Do you feel guilty when you skip the tip at self-checkout?

Oh, the dreaded iPad swivel—where a cold, lifeless screen silently judges you for not tipping an algorithm. It’s like being guilt-tripped by a robot. Next thing you know, your self-checkout machine will start leaving passive-aggressive comments.

But seriously, tipping should be for actual service, not just for existing in a retail space. If a human hands me a coffee or hauls a tray of hot food to my table, I’m happy to tip. But if I’m the one scanning, bagging, and essentially working there for free? I should be the one getting paid!

It’s like a staring contest with the cashier, and I’m losing because I can’t keep my eyes off the iPad. I press “No Tip,” and I feel like I just ghosted a potential friend. The cashier always looks disappointed which doesn’t help.

It’s diabolical work when restaurants intentionally restrict the option to not tip, making it difficult for customers to choose not to leave a tip.

I also dont feel guilty for refusing to round up to the next dollar for charity. I donate when i want and wont be peer pressured. Also i heard companies write that off as charitable donations. Its not even their money.

Came to say this.

I went back to carrying cash specifically for this.

And I don't feel bad.

Yeah, but who actually carries cash around these days? It’s better to pay with a credit card and get points/cash back.

I never tip at these new spots. Only at restaurants or when trades people work on my house. Stuff like that.

I'm not tipping the lady at Domino's when I walk in to the store and pick the pizza up myself. Hell no. Now if dominos drives that pizza over, then of course I tip.

For buying small things not a big deal to carry cash.

I put shit like hotels, gas, flights, car repairs, etc on my card.

I use cash but I feel weird when they pocket the change without asking me. I want my 6 cents damnit!!

The amount of scams going on in Vegas, everything get's put on credit card, fuck getting ripped off with a debit card where it's your actual money that gets stolen.

But lol at a tipping thread on Sherdog, these normally end up with 90 million posts of anger so popcorn.

I used to feel guilty so my wife would always handle the payment on those transactions. Now IDGAF, no tip. I used to work in restaurants so i respect servers and tip them and I used to tip the to go orders out of guilt. Not any more, shit keeps adding up.

 

[Kardashians]

No. My liquor store asks you to tip and I’m like, lol, for what exactly??!
