why am i supposed to tip for take-out? i mean, i even do sometimes, but it's kind of annoying to... alright, you're some kid at the italian place and you have this deal like "it's going to ask you as a question about dsfjgkdf" and it's a tip thing and it's confusing and there's not an easy "no" option, and, um,,,,mmmm
i take a page from my dad's book. i don't have my glasses. i'm a boob. i knock a stupid decorative bird over. i ignore it, still trying to figure out the display. i can't. too late. it's expired. the screen is gone. no tip. i put the bird back on its perch [right in front of the freaking tip LCD?!]. have a nice day

i mean, that was by accident, and it wasn't. i didn't mean to knock that stupid bird over. but it expressed my feelings perfectly. and putting it back was a thing that felt like a tip and there you go. my solutions have me, before i them

could have been worse, might aswell accidently pushed the bird in his face!
i find tips kind of weird, when i get them, for doing a job i already get paid for. people ought to earn enough by their employer. higher minimum wage is the way to go imo. as well as low to no taxes for low income.
there is good examples for nice tipping aswell though. its pretty cool that you have the option to pay more, for staff, if you want to, when ordering stuff from a company imo.

Never been to America but don't be a cheap ass and just give a tip wherever you are. It's all about karma.

I really don't like tipping for take out.
In the US we've always tipped (and generally pretty well) for full service, sit down to eat dining. Personally I do like 20%.
It's only the last couple of years where these automated machines epic is talking about have kind of tried to change the culture for tipping take out as well. It's annoying and it's expensive.
It automatically selects give you some options. 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%. And "Other."
Take out situation, I select other and put $2.00 USD. You get 2 bucks. Take it or lick my asshole, you dumb bitch. Always a woman at the counter. Epic is right, the person at the counter is always like "It's going to ask you a question." Fuck your question, you did nothing and I'm quite sure you have more disposable income than I do (which is in the negative).

alright... what was it... the movie where sickly whatever his name is, oceans' dogs, 11 reservoir, something... the conversation waitressess, tipping. that's fucking 40 years ago, you dipshits. it WAS true. now you go to mcdonalds and it's a fucking LCD screen saying: you bought a milkshake, tip $5? and it's because they don't fucking pay people livable wages and do shit like "we're paying you the money you made at mcdonalds as a prepaid debit card that costs money to use" and at a bar, a busy waitress? fuck. yes. tip. even if she's a jerk. especially if it's understaffed and she's a jerk because it's understaffed. but 3pm, the italian joint, some teenage shit, his family owns the place [bet you $20 i'm right here] and he hates working at the restaurant and he just wants to milk me for cash and fuck you, you little spoiled shit.
tip? if it's deserved? fuck yes. even if rude? still yes, if it's deserved, because rude can come from systemic abuse and the tip alleviates this somewhat. but i won't support a business abusing its employees [either by not going, or not tipping some asshole kid forced to man the counter] and i won't tip as some stupid perfunctory social pressure thing
but i really made this thread, because, like, i did this before. and i'm walking out of the italian joint and thinking "i knocked that fucking bird over before" and "that's something dad would do"
just, oh, i'm a boob. tip LCD? this is so complicated i've knocked your fucking bird over. i've put it back up. there's your tip. good day
i dunno, it's like -- i guess, if anything, this is a frustrating problem and i made a thread because i nailed it there. again.

i guess i could clinch it. i was hoping for the chick with long dark hair and... she likes me. but she's too young. and god, i think she's nuts. BPD nuts. it'd be fun. at first
and she never bothers me with the tip LCD screen. instead i get this kid and now i'm getting this tip screen shit. she never trifles me on that. i guess she works later hours
it's a terrible idea and nevermind really

i guess, also -- it should be implicit. i want to get this correct. it's not tipping good, tipping bad, but what's the just decision? and i've nailed a complex decision, i feel, and so a thread. and a discussion about where it all came from. so i can further make appropriate, just choices

if its in the cash register, does it mean they deduct taxes from the tip? that would be kind of insane.
the place my wife works in bought new cash registers 3 years ago.
next thing you know, a new cash register system becomes mandatory and they have to buy another 3 registers for a shitload of money because the eu attempts to minimize fraud. no place to sell the recently bought ones to either, theyre obsolete. thats thosuands of € down the drain.
let me tell you one thing about work behind the counter though epic
you think its easy compared to serving tables, there may be such jobs where this is true but, still, it can be utterly stressful. people can be absolute assholes.
pay is always low. so low, people cant afford the ride to the job.
even if they cater to rich jerks.

I don't tip because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I'll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, it's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job.

I wish it wasn't such a cultural expectation. It's not in Germany, where I've spent a good amount of time.
Here in the US you just gotta tip for a sit down meal, been that way since before I was born ('84). If you don't you're basically an asshole.
This TAKE OUT tippin stuff, tho... it came about it covid. It was never even an option before then. Now it's becoming an expectation. I just give $2 bucks and move on. Be happy wit it.
I was just kidding about it being only women btw if that's what triggered Tony's american Pig comment. Women are alright (tho worse than men in every respect).

not even wrong.
The other day I drove up to my buddy's ranch in Coarsegold, California. (coarsegold vibe 1, vibe 2, both capture the feel pretty well)
I brought a bottle of tito's vodka for the party. But I took a few pulls on the county backroads.
About a mile out from his house I had to pee worse than I ever, ever had in my entire life. I was listening to NiN- A Warm Place, which is usually soothing but I was jerking all over from having to uirnite. I pulled over, got out of the car. I peed a little bit into my underoos and pants before I got the zipper down. I literally pissed myself, but just a bit.
The nice thing about xltronic is that most of the members here actually have an almagamation of each other and don't judge on any one incident, so even with my honesty I'll still get a bit of benefit of the doubt and be affectionally called Wolfie, even if I'm a 40 year old drunk pisser who posts about eating woke millipedes.

this made my ears perk. do you mean you have trouble handling it, or do you mean... it's hard not to troll them? if it's the former, interesting. if it's the latter, i want details and techniques
my style in this sort of situation is to precisely follow the normal robot script, but then flagrantly throw something farty and weird in like an alien bursting forth from your chest cavity. instead of... "...precisely!" it seems we've said personkly and this is not a word, and... no, not an alien, it's like some chick's fake boob insert fell out and into the communal salad bowl. personkly, my good robot butler. you've got it exactly
and i am playing this completely dry and deadpan and the hardest part is not showing my amusement as the gears jam on this weird autistic dash of style and does he know he said that? did i hear him say that right? did this happen at all?
maybe. maybe
