A customer was upset after a self-checkout machine suggested leaving a tip of up to 20% for purchasing snacks. Sharing his frustration on Reddit, he posted a photo of the screen, and the comment: "A water park in Hungary asking for a 0-20% tip for a self-serve kiosk that sells popsicles and drinks." Other users joined the discussion, criticizing the request and debating tipping norms. One user noted, "You must look for the 'No Tip' option." Another commenter humorously added, "Robots need a living wage too." Another user shared a similar experience: "I had the same thing at a Cubs game, and the worker monitoring the line yelled at me for not tipping a machine that did all the work." The conversation highlighted how tipping is more common in the US and is influencing practices in other regions, like South America, where tips are increasing from 10% to 15-20% due to American tourists.
