“Tip At The Self-Checkout”: 50 Absurd Examples Of Tipping Culture Going Too Far
If an establishment you entered is asking for tips, it’s a brightly lit-up sign that their workers aren’t getting paid a minimum wage. By relying on gratuity, businesses don’t have to raise their salaries while keeping prices relatively low. Unfortunately, over the years, such practice has gotten out of hand, with the option to tip being everywhere: self-checkouts, Airbnb, bathrooms, and even parks.To prove how bad it has gotten, Bored Panda compiled a list of some of the most infuriating examples of tipping culture found online. Scroll down to see them, and be sure to share your own gratuity horror stories below.#1 Your Waitress Doesn't Have A SalaryImage credits: tyw7#2 This Restaurant Covered Up The "No Tip" Option With A Sticker To Force TippingImage credits: reddit_Lemur#3 Only In America Would A Restaurant Display On The Wall That They Don’t Pay Their Staff Enough To Live OnImage credits: M7plusoneequalsm8#4 To Get A TipImage credits: TXVERAS#5 It's Getting Out Of Hand.

The night I went was a $2 fireball shot night, however they were calculating the tip for our bill as if the shots were $8 each.I love pins, but this, their mandatory processing fee, and no allowance of cash is making it hard to justify buying drinks there regularly.Image credits: chasebur#23 I Can't Check Out Without Submitting A TipImage credits: fishbethany#24 The Park Near My House Has A Card Reader To Tip $5 For The BeautyImage credits: yehdudeee#25 The Tipping Culture Is Getting Out Of Hand.
