This is mostly just businesses not taking the effort to disable this screen. It’s super easy. So many shops I visit have a frustrated person serving me having to wait for the screen to load while muttering “so sorry” and then tapping no tip before asking for payment.
Few things are as annoying as ordering a coffee and being asked to tip
€500k a year in “accidental” tips because people are tapping through card machines without realising is fairly telling. Tipping here was always meant to be optional not these sneaky little screens appearing for every coffee. Feels like a slow slide towards American-style tipping without anyone actually agreeing to it. If a tip’s expected, be upfront. If people are paying it by mistake, that’s not tipping, it’s sharp practice.
There is nothing “accidental” about this. Take your stupid Americanisms and fuck right off.
‘Accidental’ doing a lot of work in that report
Some of these machines ask for a tip when no human was even involved!
These should be banned
So 1 cent per person in the country. It’s a disgrace Joe
