    Tipping everywhere didn’t pop up until square cash started dominating the POS terminal market, and leaving tipping on by default. People being the huge pushovers that they are and tipping everywhere instead of rejecting it is what allowed it to stay. It’ll happen in your country too.

      Good luck trying that shit in France. I think the fact that the actual word we use literally means “for drinks” (pourboire) hammers home the fact that this is extra money you are giving a “service” employee because you like them, and not because their employer is not paying them enough

      It happened in the UK too.

      All the bar staff I know will hit the “no tip” on your behalf before handing you the POS anyway.

      No you don’t have to accept it.
