And this I noticed, on my trip to the city, the new tip function on the POS systems in Starbucks.
While for the longest time they wouldn't accept tips (you had to have cash for the tip jar), they now have a tip function. And, instead of prompting you with a percentage % or dollar $ amount, it actually suggests a minimal tip of $1.00.
This, for a coffee, boy oh boy they're making up for lost time.
Anyways, late stage capitalism, when the customer is expected to make up the shortfall in every employees wages, and - really - I'm all for tipping, I tip a dollar on coffee anyways, but to make it the minimal expectation, this is predatory...
