cashier optimizes for speed and efficiency, if it takes more than a couple of minutes to check out the it took too long.
waiter, it varies, but if they spend as much time on the table as a cashier, that is usually seen as poor service.
there are also plenty of businesses with cashiers with tip jars, or tip screens. have been for years. some places, and this gets a bit wild, some places don’t even have tip jars. you just put the extra money in their hand. the employee may ask if you meant it, or may just understand that you did. some assume, but they tend to lose tips over time.
whether tips should exist and whether tips exist are two separate things. loosely coupled at present.
not to say tipping is good, but neither is your argument against it.
- denysvitali 3y agoSorry - my european centric view might have skewed my argument a bit. I have never seen a tipping jar in a shop in Europe
- catchnear4321 3y agono need to apologize, your comment simply made it sound like it was commonplace to see tipping in some contexts. and there are people that believe that tipping does make sense in some contexts. sometimes the silhouette lines up just right to look the same forwards and backwards. if only more peoples’ views were skewed by a lack of tip jars and a presence of living wages. if you are seeing tipping more than you have historically, that’s problematic for plenty of reasons.
