Don't forget to tip your gas station

Drink a verification can of Mountain Dew to continue pumping gas.

So since you're the one providing the labour in the transaction, this means you're getting a tip FROM the gas station, right? R... Right?

In which case I'll choose the 200% tip
Yes, you just have to pay it yourself since you are also the customer

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.
- Or someone was about to disable the tip screen and some clueless middle manager asked if the tip screen could increase the amount of the sale, then ordered it left in.

It's because the POS (point of sale) software isn't customized for the application correctly. Either through laziness, ignorance, indifference, or a level of greed that only insane troll logic could make sense of

Sure, I'll leave a -20% tip!

Here's a tip; stop asking for a tip.

This is why we have arson

It seem to be best practice, and predatory best practice.

Some people fear of being jugded if they don't follow the mass. And the tip screen make them question themselves like "everybody else tip, what will they think if I don't ?" "What if someone watch over my shoulder and feel disgusting if I don't tip ?"

And those people we call "suckers"
Right is right even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it. (Augustine)

If only I could give a negative tip.

Wait, you guys don't pump your own gas by default? 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.
In some parts of New York you have to wait and have someone else pump your gas, they call them and attendant. I lived in New York for a while, and it was just terrible, any gas station that required you to wait for someone else to pump your gas I just drove past. Because they would always be slow as hell. Meanwhile it was a clear in and out at all of the self-service stations
- I've almost never seen this in NY. It's a jersey thing, and it's stupid as fuck.
In Mexico there are people working in the gas station, and it is up to you to tip or not, I usually only do it when they (unasked) clean my windows.

Sad robo noise. Machine would be sad. They won't be kind to you when they take over😉

I would leave them the tip of my penis

FOAD

So who would that money go to?

Not only do you pump your own gas you also are the one to pay at the pump and deal with any issues that come up.

I scan my own groceries and i'll keep track of the hours to eventually hit them with a "freelance register operater" bill for €55 an hour.
As i'm freelance i need to pay 49% taxes on that and another x amount for insuring myself in case i have a work related accident, i'll be left with roughly €20 an hour which is a little over my actual wage as i'm apparently so skilled they want me to do the job so it must be worth it to them.
I think everyone everywhere should pull this shit, even if it's just to make a point. Show them how much they rely on free labour while living in big houses and driving fancy cars lol.

Say psych right now

"Say 'McDonald's' to end commercial."

I wish gas was $3.457 where I'm at. (So wierd that has years fractions of a cent)

You pump gas good! TIP YOSELF

I should be legally allowed to smash those screens if they play ads while I'm pumping my gas.

You used to be able to mute them by pressing one of the side buttons but now that just cancels your transaction and stops the pump.

I don't need advertisements shoved in my face every second of every day.

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 :)
Second button from the top on the right is mute on most of them.
- Drilling a hole mutes it for all time!

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.
