SORRY IF THIS OFFENDS FAST FOOD WORKERS, BUT I’M DONE…
I just ordered my own meal on a touchscreen terminal, selected my own drink, and walked to the counter to fetch my own tray.
Then the kiosk screen flipped around and asked for a 20% tip for "kitchen staff."
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
You cut 3 front-desk jobs to save on payroll, forced me to do the order entry myself, and now you want ME to supplement your workers' hourly wages because you refuse to pay them a living wage?
If I’m typing in my own order and carrying my own food, you should be tipping ME for doing the cashier's job.
THAT’S NOT A TIPPING CULTURE, THAT’S CORPORATE WAGE SUBSIDY.
