Pretty much, but I have no idea who the tip is going to in that case. Last time it happened to me, there was no button to not leave a tip. The options were 20%, 25%, 30%, and Custom, with 25% as the default. I had to hit Custom and type 0.00.

And the fact that Chrome has a virtual monopoly on the browser market isn't going to help them either. Other than Firefox and Safari, every other browser is Chrome, and most web devs only test on Chrome.

It's IE all over again, and I'm a bit scared that iOS's app store restrictions are the only thing stopping Chrome from being a complete monopoly.

Tipping culture and living wage are not the same thing at all. It's the owner's responsibility to pay a living wage.

Plenty of places, even in retail and food service, pay a living wage without resorting to using the registers to beg.

And this, folks, is why tipping culture continues to get worse.

Yeah, it's happened to me a couple of times.

I worked in food service and retail for a long time, not tipped. The idea that I have to leave a tip for putting my stuff in a bag and handing it to me is ludicrous to me. Employers can pay less because they can tell new hires they get tips.

Business owners need to pay their damn employees and stop using the registers to beg customers for more money.

Just wait until you get a tip prompt on a self-checkout kiosk.

And then have the media (Wall Street Journal and Readers Digest especially) tell everybody that yes, tipping everybody everywhere is the new normal and we need to get used to it.

I've gotten into so many arguments on Facebook with people who tip their mechanics and doctors. People are eating this shit up.

That is cheap, but if you go to Google's own page about Chromebooks, the options you see there are all in regular laptop pricing territory. Does anyone actually buy Pixelbooks or gaming Chromebooks?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I'm wondering the same thing. Chromebooks cost way too much for what they are.

Yes, I'm aware of that. But within the Linux community, the majority seem to prefer Android since it's based on Linux specifically, and it's not Apple. I also like macOS partly because of its BSD heritage.

Yeah, I personally prefer SSH for this task, and I also like that it works with both Linux and Mac wirelessly.
