We\u2019ve heard of several tipping fiascos which have gone viral. In November, a DoorDash driver helped himself to a customer\u2019s order while sitting in his car, after they refused to leave him a tip. Then, in December, a delivery driver charged a woman 3 times for his services, but didn\u2019t even manage to deliver the meal, leaving her to pick the order up herself. Now, in a popular Reddit thread, a customer revealed that a whopping 18% tip was added automatically to their bill \u2013 and they weren\u2019t happy about it. \u201cAn 18% gratuity was \u2018voluntarily\u2019 yet automatically added to my bill for 2 guests. Swipe left to see the choice I made,\u201d the post reads. We can then see in the next image that they\u2019ve clearly written \u2018zero\u2019 where the tip should be. Reddit furious over automatic gratuity being added to bill After the thread was posted on the platform, people were quick to weigh in on the situation, outwardly expressing their anger at the situation. \u201cSeriously, can we stop this ridiculous arithmetic test you have to do at the end of every meal and just add it to the f**king prices. Y\u2019all do anyway so just do that and be done,\u201d one wrote angrily. \u201cLike why even insult your customers\u2019 intelligence like that? F**king sick of this whole f**king world.\u201d \u201cMy friend does this at his restaurant, people complain it\u2019s too expensive, and then other people continue to tip anyways (and probably complain about it). Americans aren\u2019t able to comprehend non-tipping restaurants,\u201d another shared. One thought that there should be some kind of middle ground to the tipping experience: \u201cIf anything the tip should go to the kitchen in that instance since a steak is more effort to make than a burger and fries. But it doesn\u2019t. \u201cSame way that I tend to tip baristas or bartenders on the pain in the ass value of my drink. If I order a black coffee or a beer, I\u2019m going to tip less than if I ordered a cocktail or some fancy drink with syrups, espresso shots, and loads of f**king about.\u201d Another server came under fire in January, after they became furious at staff at the Sugar Factory after they added an automatic tip to their bill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Customer removes automatic 18% tip added to their bill and people are furious Reddit: @u\/fuck_tippingOn Reddit, a customer took to the platform to share that they\u2019d removed an 18% tip from their bill, and people on the thread were furious about it.
