Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By bankfraudguy: Point of sale companies get a % of total sales. POS companies learned that adding the tip screen by default ups total sales. POS companies like increased profits. Thats it. Thats why. The end. Back to the memes pls. Some of us are trying to avoid work. POS: I read that as Piece O Shite |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Mariner82: You guys are missing the point. That's a tip screen on a self-serve gas pump. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Mariner82: Originally Posted By TheOTHERmaninblack: Originally Posted By Klaustrophobia: Originally Posted By TheOTHERmaninblack: Okay, that's just stupid. At some point with this nonsense, I gotta start wondering if there are other motives behind this shit than seem apparent. It's like somebody is actively trying to dissuade people from tipping service workers who've traditionally made their livings on tips by making the very idea of tipping so toxic that normies opt out entirely. At some point, if the trend continues, employers will no longer be able to find people to do those jobs, and they'll be forced to use alternatives. Get ready to say hello to your new AI drone overlords. There's no grand conspiracy here. It's a simple guilt trip into getting you to voluntarily pay more. I, for one, welcome the day you describe where tipping is gone forever. Just charge me whatever the fuck it takes to pay your employees. The European model, where the tip is built into the price, and the prices 12% higher as a result. Your contention doesn't make sense otherwise. The people who would actually get the tip aren't the ones who have any power to implement the programs. Always assuming the corps aren't just stealing the tips, which would be actionable. Also, I suspect you'll bitch even harder when tipping is gone completely and you realize you've killed the donkey thinking it was a dragon. This shit is textbook psyop stuff. Shape public opinion stuff, and it's everywhere all of a sudden (within the last two years or so) I never saw any of it prior to the first time I saw it show up in Dominoes in late 2020 or early 2021. Within a couple of months it was everywhere. During that same time, the whole 'something needs to be done about tipping culture' slogan started running rampant on social media. Not everything is a conspiracy. By the same token, not everything isn't. Something is coming that's going to shake up the service industry, and they want you to be angry at those people, and not have any sympathy for them. To reiterate my first post, a tip screen on a gas pump is absolute bullshit and should not result in a tip. Tip screens on the majority of fast food self serve screens are absolute bullshit, and should not result in tips. But, and it's a Midcap sized but. They should not be ignored. |

I also doubt you'll be happy with the results. Complaining about shitty and rude service in Europe is endemic, because, of course, there is no incentive to trouble the emploees doing otherwise. Given your current attitude, I expect you'll get even shittier service than the norm. |

They were probably darker than today, but not that dark. The people who would one day be Swedes didn't hop on a train in Morocco and ride up to Scandinavia over a weekend. It took a long, long time for the migrations to get that far. And they were probably not all that dark to begin with, as the likely starting point was the northern Med, not sub-saharan Africa. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TheOTHERmaninblack: I don't think that's really the case. At least, I no longer think that's the case. Those tip screens started showing up unilaterally all over the place over a very short period of time. Not one worker I've spoken to has ever been asked whether they should be there. Oh, they'll take the money, but none of them really expect it. The sudden appearance of these things was the result of corporate decisions. This shit is coming from higher up the food chain, and I'm starting to smell rat. They're trying to move things somehow. And one thing you can be sure of, whenever the higher ups get together over something like this, it ain't gonna end up in our favor. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TheOTHERmaninblack: Originally Posted By Bloviator: Originally Posted By TheOTHERmaninblack: Okay, that's just stupid.

At some point, if the trend continues, employers will no longer be able to find people to do those jobs, and they'll be forced to use alternatives. Get ready to say hello to your new AI drone overlords. It's ridiculous. You're basically tipping them money to be nice to you as they hand you your food across the counter. Just hand me the sandwich please. This shit is coming from higher up the food chain, and I'm starting to smell rat. They're trying to move things somehow. And one thing you can be sure of, whenever the higher ups get together over something like this, it ain't gonna end up in our favor. Possible theory. There's POS software that has a tipping feature. It's easier to turn off than it is to activate and configure. To save CS expenses, the software company has default tip settings enabled. Lazy business owners (or management) leave it enabled because it's not worth their time to figure out how to turn it off. Take it easy on the tin foil. |

What you describe is the kind of Bernaysian propaganda that is well documented to have happened. Many times the people who orchestrated it bragged about it on camera years later. |

A Viking is more closely related to an aborigine than the “average” sub Saharan African. That is just a statistical consequence of th absolutely incredible genetic diversity of sub sahara Africa.

The second is that life in Africa is fucking hard. Really really hard, leave Africa, and you encounter Carnivores that have never dealt with tool and language users. So they could be dealt with. Not so in Africa, lions and hyenas never all of a sudden clashed with hominids with advanced stone tools and advanced language. For that reason, among many, humans were not at the top of the food chain in Africa until gunpowder and medicine were invented. We literally had to leave our birthplace, catch our breath, learn some shit where we constantly weren’t getting eaten, to get to the top of the food chain in Africa. That is very important because Africans couldn’t develop the techno by to consistently wipe their enemies off the map. Wars weee much more inconclusive. So many European and Asian bloodlines were exterminated, leaving much less genetic diversity. You have to remember, ancient China had a 3 way civil war that killed about half the human population on the entire planet. Most of Europe and Asia population looks a lot like SE USA deer DNA, mostly recent transplants(northern whitetail) with a little bit of southern white that survived the Great Depression, or in humans case, the ice ages. Probably explains the inbreeding with 2 other human subspecies outside of Africa. Nobody else survived to fuck. |
