Stop. Please stop. The only people who like tips are the ones who receive them.

It's a coming of age to all of us who did work for tips when we realize just how much more we made when that was the obligation.

I did not make as much money per hour as I made as a 16 year old until several years after people called me doctor.

As my European colleagues ask "why don't you do it like us?" We do. Constantly. Well we try, but all the good people leave because they can make more money elsewhere.

And yes. This "feature" is to prevent money laundering. Not tipping.

It's very annoying that people from the USA assume everyone else is. This coming from a USAian. The screenshot literally shows Mexican pesos

To agree on an upfront cost, we'd likely have to acknowledge that a fair cost would be too expensive for the buyer and not high enough for the seller, because all our productivity is lining someone else's pockets. But we're all temporarily embarrassed billionaires so we grit our teeth and tip to keep up the impression that the status queue is okay.

Buddy, the screenshot is in Mexican Pesos. Why are you talking about the USA?
