CUSTOMER USES SELF-SERVICE KIOSK TO BUY $3 PACK OF GUM. THEY'RE THEN ASKED TO TIP

The familiar practice of tipping has spread to unfamiliar spaces, frustrating customers who might not ordinarily be upset about being asked to tip if they were being served by a human being.

But being asked to tip at a self-checkout? Many customers say absolutely not.

Being asked to tip at self-service kiosks is a new, but spreading practice, based on recent TikToks shared by customers who are fed up with the audacity to tip something else for their own work.

In a video posted to TikTok by airline employee @jclassjosh, he shows the kiosk asking if he would like to leave a tip behind. “I’ve had enough, and I’m just going to have to go ahead and say it,” he says.

“As you can see there is not a living, breathing soul in this little store except for me. I walked in here, got my little snacks and checked myself out—$9 for two things is crazy, but whatever—then they have the nerve to ask for a tip."

The poster is not the only one who found the idea of tipping at self-checkout ridiculous. Several viewers shared that they couldn’t believe the point-of-sale software included it. “LMAOOO asking for a tip is CRAZZZYY,” one commenter wrote.
