 We’re tipping past the point of no return. Paying via tablet is now the convenient norm at pizzerias, coffee shops, fast food joints and other quick-services spots across the city, but the gadgets are quick to ask if you want to add a healthy gratuity to your order. Touch screens typically prompt patrons to leave a tip ranging from 18 to 30% — and sometimes even higher — when they grab and go. Occasionally, the prompts replace the old tip jar — upping the ante on what was customarily a tossed buck or some loose change. But in many instances, patrons are being pressured to pony up at places where they’ve never been expected to tip before — say, for waiting on line for their burgers and fries at Five Guys. And they’re not happy about the sudden ubiquity of gratuity gauging. “I was somewhere spending $23 on just coffee and pastries and the suggested tip was another $8 and I simply said no way. I’ll give a dollar or so as a custom tip amount, but let’s have a reality check here,” said Jared Goodman, a 26-year-old recruiter who lives in Brooklyn. “Recently I got a quick bite with my girlfriend and the suggested tip amounts were 25, 35 and even 40%. That’s just insane.” Helen Suskin, a consultant from the Upper East Side told The Post that even though she tips regularly on everything from coffee to baked goods, her generosity isn’t exactly coming from the heart. When you order from a counter, she said, “there is no added service,” yet she feels compelled to leave gratuity anyway. “You can call that guilt tipping.” Others, however, say they won’t be cowed by the machines. “I don’t tip people who just are doing their jobs by doing counter work,” Chelsea resident Stanley Vogel said, adding that he always tips servers at full-service restaurants. But, “like in a bakery if they’re just giving me a loaf of bread, I’m not gonna tip ’em for that … I never tip people who are counter people that just bring me something I can get myself.” Smart tablets haven’t changed anything for him: “I’m puzzled that these people who are just doing their job expect a tip for it.” -more at link for those interested- |

Taking my order, bringing me my food and drink refills, and being prompt and courteous while doing so…20% or more. |

I tip at dine-in, full-service restaurants or for food delivery. I tip my masseuse. I will occasionally tip my barber. I give my maid a Christmas bonus/tip.
That's it. I did fuck up and tell a truck driver there was a turnaround at the end of my dead-end street when he made a delivery to me. Turns out the turnaround was too small for him to use, so he had to back up a big rig several hundred feet. I gave him a $20 and an apology. |

Went to Panera bread (
 ) for a meeting and the POS terminal asked if I’d like to tip. I clean my own table. I pick up my own food and bring it to my table. I take my own dirty dishes and trash to the dishbin and trash can. Fuck you, tip me. |

Nope, I don't tip anyone who isn't actually a waitress/waiter, food delivery person, or barber.
I only tip 20% for waiters and my barber. I tip food delivery people $5 unless it's some massive food delivery for a party or some office event. If I'm just getting food from over the counter somewhere I don't tip. |

I've been noticing this trend, as well.
This last weekend, I camped at Two Wheels of Suches in Georgia. You register for a site at the register, and they hand you a tablet with these suggested tip amounts. You feel like a shit-heel hitting the "No Tip" button, but I'm not tipping for the employee just taking my money for something I'm going to do myself. Now, if they set up my tent and got the fire started for me, then maybe... |

It is out of hand. Everywhere I go, they ask for a tip, even after raising prices steadily
Dog groomer…asks for tip Subway..asks for tip House cleaners..wife wants to tip even after recent “fuel surcharge” Hair cut…asks for tip Mailman? Christmas tip Car service on vacation? Guy standing there looking at me for a tip, even though the booking said tip is already included in the price Wife? She gets just the tip so not sure there You know who doesn’t get a tip for doing their job? Fucking me On and on and on |

I have noticed this.
I expect to tip when I sit down and eat a meal at a table service restaurant. If I order at a counter, fill my own drink, get up and bring my food to the table and refill my own drink, shouldn't the restaurant be tipping me by that logic? It's popping up at other types of businesses, as well. |

Jersey Mike's in my AO will punch in your order and take payment before they even start making the sandwich.
They ask "Would you like to leave a tip?" I did it once because they had me in the bear trap but I haven't been back since. |

I tend to tip excessively when it comes to tipping.
But I do not hesitate to "no tip" when it comes to this sort of nonsense. I didn't expect anyone to tip me when I was a kid working at Taco Bell. I was getting paid to do that job already and there wasn't any reason for anyone to tip me for it. There wasn't any way to go above and beyond when it came to service when all I did was take their order and hand them a bag of food. I'm much less likely to "tip out of guilt" than I am to just stop going to places that do this. |
