    Haha, the guy in this meme is exactly how I’d picture a financial advisor in 2030.

    I can tell this is old because the tip selection doesn’t go up to 30%+.

    Seriously, tipping is getting out of hand. I compromised by going above 15% to begin with, I’ll be cold and dead in the ground before I go above 20% and I will die on this hill.

      Don’t tip non-service oriented people at all. You shouldn’t tip a gas station attendant for ringing up your bottle of water. Just stick to the traditional tipping industries tipping everyone helps no one except for the credit card processing companies, since the people getting those tips now have to turn around and hand them to someone else every time they spend their money. It’s all a scam by the processing companies.

      I remember when 10% used to be default for typical service and 15%-18% for exemplary service. Then, several years ago, suddenly everyone started putting 15% as the lowest option on their debit/credit machines. Now I have to push Other Amount to add a 10% tip, but honestly just pressing the no-tip button would be a lot easier. I don’t do it, but it sure is getting tempting.

        It’s especially getting out of hand when convenience stores are doing it, and then the cashier has the gall to give you a shitty look, especially when you hit no tip. Motherfucker, you scanned my item and processed a transaction, why the fuck do you deserve a tip for just doing your job?

          I will get hate for it but that last sentence is exactly how I feel about a waiter at a restaurant. You brought me my drink, and you brought me my food. Which is supposed to be your job, I understand that a lot of them get paid potentially less than minimum wage but that’s not my fault. I paid what was asked for, if the server went Above and Beyond in some way I will generally leave a tip but if they just did their job I don’t see any reason to.

          Be mad at your bosses for being worthless piles of shit who don’t pay you properly not me for not paying more than what I was asked to pay

    Last time I was in the states for a conference I had to do a self checkout in a shop and the machine asked for a tip…

    FOR WHO? I did everything myself? Do you pay these machines a salary too low to survive as well?

    Honestly these guys would be the easiest shit for AI to replace right? Even if the AI just picks ETFs it’ll beat most of them anyways

      They were already replaced nearly 50 years ago when index funds were invented. There’s tons of data showing that financial advisors perform worse than a simple low fee index fund.

          Makes sense. Universal Paperclips has been out for 6 years and is the classic

    But yeah, American tipping culture is out of control. They are even making me choose whether or not to tip at fast food restaurants now…
