Americans finally draw a line at tipping as it hits the self-checkout lanes at supermarkets...
If your job is to stand behind a counter and fill my order, that's your job. Do it, take the meager pay they give you, and shut the fuck up. I am under no obligation, social, morally or any other way to throw money into a cup for you just because that's the highest occupational plateau you can reach. It's insulting to think otherwise.As for self checkout, if I'm the one doing all of the work - shouldn't I get the 15% or whatever discount as a tip for doing what you don't want to do for me? Fuck that.

Is there a minus sign on the keypad? At a self checkout, I'd be very tempted to tip myself. Just enter a negative number..... No, don't really do that- or if you do, don't hit enter! The store probably has absolutely no sense of humor. But I'd bet at least 50-50 that the programmer didn't use an absolute function on the tip amount. Be interesting to check. I'd guess the odds of getting away with it are pretty high, briefly (if it works).
