I had a parking meter ask me for tips once
I think so its a shopify option?
I’ve seen this when purchasing merch from my fav band, Carseatheadrest. Their reasoning is that if you want to, it’ll help them with rent.
Everything seems to be adding a tip option by default now. Even self checkout kiosks may start having them from what I heard

That’s why you need consumer protection laws to prevent scams like this
this is just default option on shopify don’t read too deep into it
Those percentages are not default, however. So this was intentional.
The fact that it’s a default option in an online shopping system is in and of itself deeply alarming and disgusting. I would expect the staff to get a living wage at any business I deal with.
It’s probably because Shopify is a Canadian company and tipping options for everything is quite prevalent here (unfortunately). I get asked to tip at Subway here even though I just paid like $10+ for a sub.
It’s the newest garbage idea in a capitalistic hellscape…
EVERYONE is asking for “tips” now, the shitty thing is if 1 in 100 people give one even if someone accidentally hit’s it, it was worth it, I absolutely hate how Jimmy johns and subways systems now have this… it takes longer to pay with a card now then cash.
Well, their products, generally, are quite reasonable and they do have to hire lots of people in order to manufacture their products and fulfill orders, so I’m not complaining UNLESS the tip is going straight to Shopify as I imagine they’re either taking a cut of sales or their vendor fee is already baked in. I just bought some IEMs distributed through Linsoul (via Amazon) for 50 bucks and they are remarkably good!
Same for Shenzhen Audio
Well to be fair. Most of their iems come with extra tips too, albeit silicone or foam
It’s to make Americans feel more comfortable shopping there.
lol
Lol I laughed too hard at that
Check custom tip and write -5% for 5% OFF coupon!
-20% is the minimum acceptable these days
At least the proper box is checked.
I don’t understand why people get offended by this sort of thing. Just don’t give a tip!

Some places now have stupid amounts already selected by default, like 20% or 30%
Others require you to navigate several menus to disable this bullshit.
Its getting worse over time.
Because normalize it and eventually you won’t have an option to not tip
Click on custom tip and type “I would recommend a magnetic planar” :-)
Tipping culture in the US is vomit, to the point where it’s apparently now metastasizing.
That’s pretty fucking disgusting, not gonna lie.
