This is tipping culture out of control.
Tipping culture is tipping culture out of control.
You should see the insane way it’s worshipped in the USA, all as an obviously thin front to avoid paying wages and giving workers rights. It’s wild.
I think it’s shopped
I could see them doing this
Hopefully it’s close to a tipping point
Corpos with their first already up your ass, now asking for more: “Come on, just
thea tip?”
Category: Probably not real but wouldn’t be surprised if real.
Pretty sure that’s not a touch screen, as evidenced by the buttons on the side. My assumption is photoshopped but also only a matter of time.
In mexico ATMs are like this, touch and with buttons that still work.
Same

The buttons are for the visually impaired.
Kinda like this flat printed Braille?
That is some truly malicious compliance on what is clearly a sticker

I don’t remember at what company, but I’ve seen this more than once and it’s always hilarious. It’s quite funny watching my SO try and find the hidden mute or close ad button too. I’m glad I’m not from the US myself.
None of the gas stations around me have rhe “mute” button enabled, but thankfully most of the stations locally don’t blare ads at you while pumping gas. There was one station that tried it years ago and their pumps were constantly vandalized.
their pumps were constantly vandalized
good. as they should be.
I can see this happening on a system originally designed for a different retail environment, and nobody bothered to get rid of the tip screen.
Please tell me this is photoshopped and these fuckers aren’t seriously asking for tips at self service stations…
Hey, don’t be so cruel. These machines are paid below minimum wage, and if you don’t tip, they won’t be able to pay their rent and student loans.
Those night classes to move up from soda dispenser to gas pump will pay off eventually.
they won’t be able to pay their rent and student loans.
You mean their software subscriptions and cloud storage fees.
Do real servers not deserve to pay their rent/student loans?
No
Starve
Yeah haha definitely fake, these pumps don’t have touch screens so this interface wouldn’t work on them. Choices have to be aligned with the 4 buttons on the left and right. Second one from the top on the right side will mute the ads also.

Not always.
Yeah, very angrily discovered this the other day while filling up my bike. Ear plugs go right back in, in spite of needing the break.
Yeah I’ve never gotten any of the buttons to do it.
Internet wives tale.Strange, it’s worked at every pump I’ve tried
Yeah same with me. Circle K is the only place around here whose pumps play ads though, so maybe it’s just their machines it works on. Someone even scrawled “<- mute” in permanent marker next to the button on all their pumps.
It for sure works at every Circle K I’ve been to, at least.
I’m sorry, did you just say “mute the ads”? Damn, america really is in the terminal stages of late stage capitalism
That touchscreen plays ads loudly as well.
Actually, I’m gonna need a refund
Where I live we had one gas station with full service when I was a kid, and it cost like a third more than any other gas station in the area so almost no one went there and it eventually went to self serve pumps like every other station. Aside from the one time I went there I have always pumped my own gas, and I’d feel weird if someone else did it for me lol
The cheapest gas station around me is the only full service one around. I hate it. I’ll pay extra to not have to deal with the forced interaction. Tipping cancels out the discount anyways.
A state near mine that I visit occasionally has laws in place that prohibit pumping your own gas. I always forget this and get out of the car, which leads to a very awkward confrontation with the attendant. It definitely feels weird.
You must be near New Jersey lol I think that’s the only state left that has that law
I have never pumped my own fuel on my car except when I visit the US. I feel like a 7 year old handling that pump thing. Happy I don’t have to do that where I live.

He isn’t complaining about having to pump his own gas. He is complaining about the gas station’s audacity to ask for a tip.
When the robots gain sentience y’all are gonna regret not tipping your gas pumps.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Soon enough we’ll see robots argue against each other about tipping culture
Using “forced” outside of kink situations has a negative connotation. When you say “I was forced to …”, most people would take that as a complaint. Maybe that’s not the intention of the meme but still, that’s what it says shrug
Tipping is not customary in those states. Source: I live in one, and grew up by the border with the other.
Bonus fact, we can now pump our own gas in oregon… though they still have to have some pumps where you can’t. I don’t want to call those full service cause they aren’t, they call them mini service. Full service cleans your windows and such as well apparently.my mom and gramma never pumped their own gas. grampa would never allow it (he had previously owned a gas station back when they were all full service ‘service stations’). i’ve never heard of tipping at a gas station. granted, this was well before the tipping-everywhere bullshit we have now.
I’ve lived in NJ my entire life and have never ever tipped for gas. Ever. It’s absolutely not customary here at all, and it’s the only state left where you can’t pump your own gas.
Goddamn 2023. The tip screen embarrasses me at work, where I make a normal hourly wage.
“Just hit the skip button bro”
Wait, you guys have non-selfservice gas stations? Is this some American thing I’m too europoor to understand?
Most states do (illegal to pump your own in New Jersey), but the joke is more about tipping culture in this country.
This meme isn’t implying that it’s unusual to pump your own gas. It’s implying that tipping culture in the US is progressing to the point of asking you to tip when you didn’t receive a service performed by anyone since you did it yourself.
Self service is the default for most of the US. New Jersey and (I think) Oregon require full service gas stations though.
Oh, I see. Yeah the wording is weird in that case, “forced” to pump your own gas
I think Oregon got rid of that law last year… New Jersey still has it though
Today I had lunch at a restaraunt, I was given the option to tip so I did, expecting to get service. I got the fast food treatment, they threw a tray on the counter that I had to pickup and when I went to leave they made me bus my own table…
I’ve got family that used to rely on tips so I’ve always been a generous tipper. The recent tip culture has completely changed me though and now these expected tips just piss me off.
Personally I’ll tip 10% or less if its an establishment that shouldn’t be asking for a tip, and 20% for an actual tipped profession. More ideally tipping will be phased out because these POS systems are letting it really get out of hand
I think you’re part of the problem dude, tipping 10% when they shouldn’t be asking for tips means that it’s worth it to them to now ask for tips.
Let’s move away from a car-centric society, please.
This is clearly fake. Tip screens all now start at 20 or 25% .
Or they just display you loud ads, same intentions.
If you hold down the second button down on the right side for a second or two, it mutes the ads.
Don’t give them anymore ideas. Mine is already already playing non stop 60 decibel ads
60 decibels would be an improvement at the corner station for me.
I love when they boost the volume so much it’s clipped to the point I can’t understand it :)
This is a tip for me being such a good customer, right?
Can I start asking businesses for tips? Like for not committing crimes, and paying for my goods and services as agreed upon, you’re going to have to subscribe to the premium customer program.
Is this real?! 🤯
