> I feel so aggravated that nearly every single place I visit asks for a tip or 'donation' now. A lot of this was done by the credit card processors in order to increase their rake. I don't tip on machines unless I'm in a resaurant (and I probably shouldn't there--either). If I'm going to tip, I give cash because I can't count on any of what I put into the machine getting to the person I intend it to go to.

> A lot of this was done by the credit card processors in order to increase their rake. I can't speak for every terminal supplier but store owners often do have the option to turn it off. But it becomes problematic when it ships with tips enabled by default and there's strong messaging from your terminal vendor's rep to keep it enabled. You end up having to go out of your way and against the grain to disable it.
