You think?

lol is this a troll account??

You’re being victimized by the tip screen? Good lord.

Even if that is the case (it isn’t because the tips wouldn’t be going to the owner or whoever set up the system so idk why they would care) in either situation no one is “guilting” the customer - the cashier is just trying to complete the purchase and ring you up. 90% of the time I make a small purchase the barista seems embarrassed to have to swivel a tip screen for a small hot coffee because they also know it’s ridiculous to expect a tip but it’s required to close out the purchase.

If you’re buying something more complicated like multiple lattes or made to order food yes they probably expect a tip because you should be tipping atleast a buck or two in that scenario. It’s 100% projection that the barista/business is guilting you into tipping - if you feel guilty that’s on you.

One more time for the slow learners desperate to explain a comment they didn’t even write:

and guilt you into thinking that you owe them for grabbing a muffin from under the counter is just appalling.

Did you miss this part?:

Of course, I go with Other and might leave a dollar tip or not even that. But their audacity to even ask for such tips and guilt you into thinking that you owe them for grabbing a muffin from under the counter is just appalling.

damn dude maybe you should consider riding the lightrail for free if you’re this hard up for cash

Raise your hand if you’re not surprised this sub is full of bad tippers 👋

I don’t understand why customers think the barista is responsible for setting up the register or is pressuring you to tip? They have to show you the tip screen in order for you to approve the purchase. If I’m getting something small but still want to tip I just hit other and put in the amount I want to tip or don’t tip anything. I’ve never gotten attitude for this.

Honestly sounds like some of you are projecting a lot onto the barista just for doing their job - no one is expecting you to tip on a muffin they’re just trying to complete the purchase on the register.

😱

For the most part it’s showing how insanely cheap some people are.

It isn’t

Steel wool/caulking isn’t that complicated usually they can just have regular maintenance person do it for way less than calling pest control. In my experience pest control usually just sprays and/or leaves poison.

No but your options are clean it yourself or demand more from your local government by way of litter clean up. I’ll let you figure out on your own which one is the bigger waste of time.

You should be asking your landlord to send someone to plug any holes/gaps in the wall w steel wool and then caulk. Poison/traps generally do nothing unless you’re extremely diligent and crafty with baiting and setting traps.

This might rock your world but some of us lived in JC before it became an overdeveloped hellhole and can remember when rents were affordable and there was plenty of street parking. I never even bothered getting a resident permit back then because it didn’t even matter.

No one’s stopping you from picking up a broom.

It’s almost like there’s no oversight when building anything in jersey city 🤔

Or the ones using the lightrail…?

No one is saying it did. Relax. You can get the same story from a news source that isn’t pro-Israel was the point.

It’s pretty obvious the person who left the comment’s issue was that the story was being shared by a pro-Israel news source. It’s not antisemitic to criticize Israel.

you’re in the wrong place if you want to coexist without litter

Al Jazeera has been blindly promoting Qatar as a tourist destination and the World Cup in general while completely ignoring all the human rights violations that have and continue to occur there so I guess you could say they probably do have a lot in common with Forward as a publication!

I have no idea that’s why I find it bizarre.

Let’s listen to the guy who calls himself a “liberal Zionist” on this one ya’ll. We got an unbiased perspective in the house.
