    What kind of “tip” is paid upfront before the service is rendered?

      Literally fucking every place now and I hate it. Ordering take out food that I am picking up myself? It’s “swipe your card here and it’s going to ask you a question”. Literally everywhere. Even places designed to be walk-up and get your food and leave, like a local smoothie place or something.

          Yeah… It doesn’t make sense, it’s either a fee, or it’s as someone else here pointed out a bribe so they might go faster take better care of your food or take your order at all. But nothing ensures that if you pay first …

          Tbh I feel like tipping in general should end already… they only thing it makes is desperate people trying to get by instead of getting a proper income to begin with.

          Tipping? Yes, very much. The entire concept is silly.

          Paying your food order online? No. Why would you want it any other way?

            The concept of tipping isn’t silly at all, I’m not sure why NA doesn’t seem to understand how it should work.

            I’m fine with tipping, expecting it to happen or forcing it is the weird aspect here.
