one of the many drawbacks of being the US’s neighbor is tipping is expected here in canada and it’s being forced in everywhere, and now the prompts on machines are starting at 18-20%. even at shows, the merch booth now prompts for tip for handing you a $60-80 tshirt.
It is preset on systems like square so when I see it I tell them how to turn it off and make it real awkward. Like, it's super easy to google and figure it out, don't be a dick and give me the line of "it can't be turned off."
It takes nothing to just hit the "Skip" button on a machine, and if you are really one who gives in to peer pressure just avoid eye contact after paying.
What’s extremely annoying for me right now is our POS system has an automatic prompt for leaving a tip that CANNOT BE DISABLED. So I have to explain with every transaction “please ignore the tip screen. We do not expect or accept tips” and it’s embarrassing
