Avoiding this practice completely might become more and more difficult, I’ve seen self checkout systems ask for extra money.

- geodel 2y agoMakes sense to me. Terminal maintenance, electricity all these cost add up. So tip is due. After all it is customers' responsibility to keep track all expenses business incur during course of its operations. Paying just listed price and taxes is so "heartless".
- thih9 2y agoI keep forgetting that listed prices, at least in the US, can be before tax. By contrast, in the EU prices are so transparent that whenever there is a sale (in person or online), the new price has to be accompanied with the lowest price from the last 30 days - so that the customer could check how big that sale really is.
- unsnap_biceps 2y agoThere's a small deli near me that has a self checkout system and asks for a tip, but the tip goes to the kitchen making the food, so I do think that's fair enough in a tipping culture. Self checkout in a grocery asking for tips is a new level of dystopian though.
