The American System of Tipping Makes No Sense
- uberman 7y ago"Mandatory Tipping" is the service industry equivalent of the mysterious micro-charges that appear on utility bills, airlines tickets, undercoating on your car, and unfortunately now in video games. They are simply a way for the business to make it appear on paper that the price you pay is less than what it truly is. I once ate at a restaurant that slipped a three dollar charge on my bill for ordering via their "table top device", then suggested I add a 25% tip to my total after tax bill that included the fee for using their tablet. I personally loath tipping and all other forms of secondary micro-translations. Please charge me whatever it truly costs including proper compensation for your staff and make me feel good about using your product. Asking me to pay via micro-translations makes me feel gross.
