    My local pub in Australia just got new POS machines. Day 1 I’m there. They put in the price for your beer on the till, you go to PayPass and walk off, but it’s asking you to tip first. You say “No Tip”, then PayPass and walk off, but then it asks if you’re happy to accept the 1% CC surcharge, being like 9¢. Then you can walk off.

    The staff were losing it and apologising. They were so annoyed they just started hitting “No Tip” and “Yes” for people, because that’s how it normally works.

    Lowest level minimum wage for someone pouring beer is $24 an hour here.

    People still throw cash in the tip jars from time to time, but it’s like when they really appreciate the staff or see they’re having a hectic shift. Even just good conversation or chucking your tunes on, will empty the pocket change in.
