I also hate tipping everywhere, but coffee shops might also like to adjust their prices slightly for customers that don’t mind paying a bit more for well paid staff and for those customers to whom price is a major concern when choosing where to purchase their coffee.
Dynamic pricing makes some sense in the concept of trying to capture maximum demand, it just feels horrible as a customer.
- Raed667 4y agowe are not machines, if i'm paying more (or even less) than the person in front of me at the line: 1- I'll make a scene 2- I'll never come back 3- It is probably a discrimination lawsuit waiting to happen
- hailwren 4y agoI mean, this is what is happening with the dynamic tipping system and none of these things appear to be happening.
- freedomben 4y agoThere's a critical difference between dynamic pricing and tipping: one is optional, the other is not. That makes a huge difference in the psychology.
- hailwren 4y agoOk, you can replace dynamic pricing with dynamic tipping in my original comment if that makes it more comprehensible for you.
- Raed667 4y agoBecause it is thinly veiled as a customer-choice. Again, not saying the outcome is different, but socially it won't be accepted, as it removes that veil.
