And so I feel awkward when the tip screen comes up... the person _behind_ the tip screen feels awkward... why are we _both_ subjected to this terrible situation?

And of course, all the bottom-feeders in the PoS and credit card processing industry which also stand to gain as they can sell the tipping prompt as an extra feature.
