It’s deliberately more difficult to not tip, it’s always more buttons and less obvious. Ideally tipping should be abolished (with employees being paid a decent wage) but until then, some form of regulation would be helpful. Otherwise there is no pressure for businesses to act better. I still think my suggestion fits into the theme of this thread.

You’re down playing the social and anchoring forces. For instance, you’re in a long line and you’re prompted to pay, the no tip or tip less than the default options is always more difficult. These default options are used by employers as a way to under pay staff. If these default options were made clear before the purchase there would be a pressure for businesses to reduce or remove those options. As it stands, the default options is a strong anchor.
c/lemmyshitpost, come for the memes, stay for the lessons on construction materials
I’m not from North America but I live in Canada now. I find tipping is ridiculous. But if I’m going to be forced to tip it should be made clear to me before the transaction starts. I’m not saying this is the best solution. Tipping should obviously be abolished but I’m just answering this question.
Lol, I’m not saying this is the ultimate solution. I’m answering the question. I also think tipping should be abolished.
Tipping, the default tipping options should be displayed next to the price of the item.
I think you’re right. I should bring this up at my next counselling session.
TIL that piranhas are omnivores. I checked on Wikipedia before posting 😅
I was born in 1983
I wouldn’t, my fish is a piranha
You’ll have to wait until the embargo is lifted. I thought my post would be ok because it was meta but I guess the mods aren’t taking any chances. I don’t want to give the mods more work
Deleted by mods, I deserved that.
Apparently my bean vegan pet post was too soon
I feel like I missed these completely. Does this mean no posting about rabbits etc?
You’re 100% right, I’ll do better
We missed the anniversary 😭 I guess it’ll have to be a biannual event like the Olympics
I’m not sure about questions to ask but you should definitely wear a monocle
