I've written a few popups. Yes, we are aware, I generally dismiss them too. They're almost always an anti-pattern / anti-user design anyway, so I try to avoid them. They are, I think without exception, thought train breakers and annoyances, even in cases where they may actually be useful.

But yet they persist

Even if they could be used for something productive that's impossible now because of their extreme over-use and abuse.

Apps love popups right when you start it to tell you something important. Guess I'll never know because my muscle memory was quicker than my eyes.

Yep. I've made sure to never learn anything from a popup.

It's easier IRL since you can just leave without paying 😌

No tip screen if one pays with cash.

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

the ones with popups hiding the no tip screen are diabolical

Am I the only one who's pro-tipping? I feel the need to apologize for making people do work. If you told me I wasn't allowed to tip I'd be leaving cash on the counter and running off.

Unfortunately tips in many places are used so employers don't have to pay fair wages. The point of "no tips" is to demand fair wages from the start.

In the region of the world I’m from, waiter unions themselves are against tipping. The reasons I have heard are that

wage negotiations should not happen between customers and employees
the principle of everyone’s salary being enough to cover all costs of living
neither customer nor employee will benefit from service staff having too low wages
worker’s rights cannot practically be built using funds from tipping
normalising tipping will be used by the employer as an argument to pay below liveable wages

That being said, waiters are given a liveable wage here. And locals also sometimes tip for great service. But that’s just a bonus for the waiter, not the expectation.

I would personally suggest you reevaluate your pro-tipping stance given the above, but I don’t know where in the world you’re from, nor how waiters are treated or paid there

I'm generally anti-tipping since it gives shitty employers a fig leaf to pay their workers an unlivable wage, but I still tip if I'm at an establishment where workers depend on tips. The system ain't their fault.

I think you'll find most people have no problem with tipping, only with forced tipping or the cultural pressure to tip. Most people dont want to stop you from tipping if you would like to.

Not my job to make up for the fact that their employer can’t pay a living wage.

Would you tip at McDonalds, a gas station, or a grocery or department store? I tip to show appreciation for the value of service provided, doing the basics of one’s job isn’t a tippable event just because they ask for free money.
