Customers are being asked to tip even at self check-out. Some say it's 'emotional blackmail.'

As self-checkout kiosks are incorporating the option to include tips, customers question where the money is going.

This is a fucking insult

    I’m in the US so I tip people who rely on tips to make it by in this capitalist dystopia, like waitstaff. That’s fucking it. Anyone else asking for a tip can get rekt.

    Why is this even an issue? Are people actually tipping everyone now? Stop it! Don’t let people manipulate you and keep your money.

    I find it much nicer to use the self checkouts cause I have no issues with telling a machine to fuck off with their donations or tips. I get guilted a bit by the human cashiers and end up tipping or donating, with a machine I instantly hit no.

    The machines should tip the customer for doing job well. After all, it’s him doing the work cashier typically does.

    This is like when fast food places ask if you want to round your order up to the next dollar to donate to x cause.

    Like, no, Taco Bell, I don’t want to pay you so you can turn around and get credit (both in terms of laundering their image, and for tax purposes) for my donation.
