I work on payment terminals - you all should ONLY be paying with cash
When you pay with cash they won’t do that fancy flip of the payment terminal for you to add a tip (starbucks, coffee shops, basically everywhere these days that have no business asking for tips) You will also spend less $$$$ when you see the money leaving your hand every time you shop. Just withdraw $400 or so for your expenses every so often from an ATM.
I like that advise. I wanted to do it, but every time I touch money I have to wash my hands. (Think of what filthy hands they have gone thru). So not practical for me, sadly.
Yeah, some people keep cash inside butt, to be safe.
Stingy ass tech bros with their TC won't even bother tipping underpaid service workers. GTFO.
Lol. Everyone gets paid for what they are worth.. don't expect free money. If I like the service, then I will tip
If it costs $6 per coffee to pay your staff a living wage, charge me $6 for the coffee. Don't charge me $5 and beg me for another $1. Don't make me think I have to pay $6.50 because I make more money than most people coming here so I should add a little extra to make up for the people who can't tip. Don't make me feel awkward because your tip screen has 3 huge buttons so that everyone behind me can see how much I tip. This is coffee, not socialism. Charge me $6 for the coffee.
managing coins is mess.
Sometimes they’ll just forgive the cents too. Just today I ordered butter chicken with butter naan and it was $20.61. I had $40 cash and they took $20 and forgave the $0.61.
Dude wat u ll do with these cents , live life not carry n put energy at right place
Normalize pressing "no tip" button.
You have to navigate. Usually not on front page.
Honestly just get over it and shamelessly hit 'no tip'. The issue isn't that people are paying with card, it's that they're afraid to not give free money just because they were prompted to. It's not worth losing the 1-5% cashback either.
Good point. Points / cash back are the only benefit to paying with card.
On the other hand they'll probably respond quicker to people not using cards at all, so idk go for it.
Dude it's ok to tip. When your kids will work there as part time, and imagine no one paying tip.
How about I imagine my kids get paid fairly so they don’t have to rely on tips?
When your kids are working on Starbucks terminal and getting paid $50 per hour, I have no issue with that. But when the inflation kicks in and your retirement stonks or cash is gone do not whine about it.
I will teach my kids to work in industries where they are paid as per their expertise not at the mood / whim / cultural upbringing of the person they serve. Tipping is optional for a reason. So let everyone make their own mind.
I tip 20% no matter what as a minimum. Hair dressers get close to 100%.
I go to Great Clips so I know they aren't getting paid well there.
I thought OP was going to list some security concerns.
Or just move all your cash to savings and have $400 budget in card. I get what you’re saying but cash is a hastle
