- The rise of self-checkouts has decreased the need to interact with employees at certain businesses, but there's often still a suggestion to provide a tip. Rachel Wolfe, a consumer behavior reporter for The Wall Street Journal, joins Errol Barnett and Lana Zak to explain where tips at self-checkouts go and how Americans feel about the practice.

What to know and do when the Tipping prompt comes up:
1) Hit “No tip” option
2) Request a receipt and check your bank statements to ensure your being charged correctly.
No service. No tip. Me taking something off a shelf and bring it to the checkout station should not get a tip. Having food brought to me and refilling drinks, yes to tipping. 15% traditional. More if it merits it.
That and her maroon dress is on crooked
Only 1 rule to remember: don't tip
Don’t tip at self check out and don’t round up for charity.the greed from corporations it’s just absurd
When you round up, the corporation makes the donation (of your/consumers) money. AND they take the TAX WRITE OFF
This, stop giving them tax free benefits.
@@vc5385is that true?!
So if I round up 70 cents at Target, am I just giving Target 70 cents and later they “donate” 70 cents to charity themselves? So they’re just Office Spacing their way to tax write offs, just little by little every transaction getting more??
Consumers need to start a nationwide campaign for no tip at these places. These business owners put the responsiblity of compensating their workers properly on cunsmers instead of raising salary and hourly pays.
This is why I enjoyed living in Europe. It is frowned upon to tip for services over there.
Stop expecting it for every single transaction. We have made it the norm even for bad service. 🤷🏽♀️
USA is the only country that is experiencing alot of weird stuff nowadays. When I traveled to other countries, I like what you see is what you pay instead of some !@#% costs added to the price you see.....
After visiting Italy, I was just simply surprised how not a single restaurant were expecting a tip. It was not only a surprise but as well as a relief since I’m just used to seeing a tipping option here in the U.S.
in France it's not frowned upon, but it's appreciated like when you have to pay 18€ and have a 20€ bill, you'll just give the server the 2€ and say "keep the change" or something, and then the servers says thanks.
It's a real pleasure to see a price on an item in a store and that is exactly what you pay. Here in America the price displayed is NOT what you pay. You have to do a mental calculation to add taxes. Foods aren't supposed to be taxed but they get around it in our state by taxing some "non nutritional" foods and beverages and some non food items like ladies' monthly items. Imo they should not be taxed but they are in many places.
Perhaps the time has come to END tipping.
Is this an experiment to find out how stupid we are?
Well, some people did tip the self checkout
So I guess that means its working
Next, my cell phone will ask for a tip to make a call.
My cell asked me to tip you for complaining about tipping for this comment
How about a tip for the customer who has to deal with the poor working attitudes? 😂
From this, if you are at a restaurant and using a credit card, etc, don't tip on the card.
Tip at the table in cash for the employee.
It's a scam 🤷🏻♂️ I DO NOT TIP MACHINES
That should not even be a question. There is no reason for customers to tip for such services. If some wealthy/generous person wants to tip then there should be a way to do, but this tip option is not applicable to 99.9% of the customers and so businesses should stop showing this options to general public.
The tips go to the owner /ceo not employees . Why tip if there is no one servicing you .
It's not that hard. Press "SKIP" and Tip "$0".
Everyone looks at inflation as if businesses are just passing on the higher costs. They are, but since profits are up they clearly are doing more than that.
A tip at a self-checkout should be giving you a discount
I think not. They should tip us for doing all the work.
Exactly
@@nosuchthing8 I worked for over 50 years (never retired until 70) No tips ever for picking strawberries nor bananas
This would have been a good opportunity for some basic investigative journalism. How about simply going to a few of those employers that claim to be distributing the tips to employees and asking the employees if they're receiving anything?
And how about reporting the fact that it's not the employer enabling the tip screen, it's the point of purchase provider who takes 3.5% of each tip transaction. Every report about this issue misses this point.
@@PaulMcCannWebBuilder Don't be such a jew and cough up the 15%
So you want customers to do the cashiers job for free, and then tip you, for working for you for free.
Next thing you know, the utility company wants you to tip too😂
Hahahah
This tipping is out of control. I went to the smoke shop and bought some Delta; all this lady did was hand me the bag. Holyshit 🤯
I noticed today at the smoke shop was a tip option as well . 😮confused me
@@colenewaltersmusicandother9330 Yeah pretty silly.
@GreatScott ??? What are you talking about?
Where is the tip going? Accounting books. It's called revenue.
You order a pick up pizza and it asks for a tip.. really? Nah
This is just insulting.... I just know in my gut that the money is not going to employees. If any is given to employees at all it's probably absurdly small compared to where the rest goes.
This is so stupid! No more waitress’s, cashiers….Most humans will have NO JOBS! Never tip at self service…NEVER!
I went to subway today and paid with a debit card. She handed me the card scanner and said I had to do it myself. First time that has happened, usually they take the card and do it themselves. Then I understood why: there was a tipping prompt on it! I couldn't believe it. Give you a tip for doing your job?! I hit "no", took my sub and drove away. I will not tip at a drive through.
They should be tipping me!!!
Tipping at self check out is just criminal.
TIP????? Tip WHO Exactly??? That’s Ridiculous even for walmart.🙄
Ok, thanke. Always tip in cash. I suspected as much.
You're going to tip a corporation? Yeah I'll give 'em a tip, don't take any wooden nickels! You would never see that sort of thing suggested in California, and people are tippers here more than in most other states.
My tipping only goes if you assist me.
Tip at a self check out? This must be the US🤯
I dont do tips. I donate to Goodwill instead.
Americans must be so proud of self checkout tip~
I will never tip when I’m doing the work
Well since I’m
Doing all of the work the tip should go to me I pick out the groceries i scan them and bag them that tip should be mine.
It is not a "strong" suggestion. The problem is the misperception that a screen can make a strong suggestion. It's JUST a suggestion... by a computer.
NOPE. Traditional tipping for traditional service ONLY.
NO NO NO!!!! I'M NOT TIPPING 😂😂😂
$10 and $12 an hr is not a living wage though just much higher than a waitress / waiter
No tips from me. I do their job for them so they should tip me. Stupidest thing I've heard of. How freaking ridiculous to even ask 😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬
we need to start tipping less... not more (service here SUCKS)
Nope
These place don't need a tip ! The only places that I tip are Sit down restaurants where someone is actually bringing me my food and Refills to my table i'm giving me the service that i need . other than that places like starbucks and other walk up or fast food restaurants i don't give a tip . This is wrong what they are doing .
Agreed!
Machines make $0 … they need tips EVEN MORE than humans! 😟
They should have a negative tip as an option. You are being the cashier, no?
I work as a cashier and a while ago I had told my wife that We should start getting tips so if self checkout does they should make it so we get some too u tip a lot of other places so why not your cashiers
US tip culture is crazy. People are already earning money for their work. If bringing the food to the table or drink refilling is their job why to pay more for it? In Europe most people don't tip, and I find it really good.
Not to mention tipping the machine
i say a company should pay there employee not me it is there employee,then charge me what you have to charge me so i can decide weather i am willing to pay the price
Why should we tip the worker who is stocking the merchandise, that is the RESPONSIBILITY OF THE EMPLOYER AND NOT THE CONSUMER.
They can try and make me feel guilty, but it won't, no one tips me to do my job !
I’m not tipping for self check out
Wtf does the tip go to me, cause I’m doing all the work?!?!
I AM NOT TIPPING A COMPUTER
I don't care if it is going to the employees. Stocking the shelf is part of your job.
I give women the "tip" I don't give "tips" to the machine.
So now we get to do the job and pay to do it?
I only tip at a full-service sit-down restaurant and I make sure I put the cash in the server's hand. If I put the tip on my credit card there is no way to know if the server gets the whole tip.
in my country it's not normal to tip, and i almost never do it except for at really high end restaurants if the service is really good.
She's on something...
I don’t want to tip. Don’t pay minimum wages . pay enough to your employees working for your store . Have to beg to costumers for tips ?I think embarrassing.
I have no shame in not tipping. I only tip if I'm sitting down and i am being served.
I know servers. They have told me that they only claim half of their tips at tax time so shouldn't they only get 10% if you believe they deserve 20%? I tip only in a restraunt where i am served . If i am presented with a tablet to order or pay, half tip is too much. A tip is for service. If i have to "work" i get half the tip.
Tax fraud. :)
if i cud i wud rather tip in cash
Video should be 15 seconds long and say “what to know about tipping at self checkouts”
“Hit ‘no tip’, pay, then leave”
Who are you tipping for self checkout?
I dont tip not even in restaurants they just have to ask a normal wages this is not my problem...
SCAM
She sounds tipsy..
It’s corporate greed , we should smash them all
only in america💀
This is a real thing? WTF?
So I can tip shareholders that are already making money off of someone else's labors? No thanks I'll just tip myself in cash instead.
This form of Tipping is distroying where tips were truly deserved and expected. It's embarrassing, when I'm a guest of someone else buying the table's meals. It's disturbing when the host is paying, for my meals, and they don't know how much to tip. I feel horrible when my host isn't even tipping 10%, yet is buying me meals, at restaurants. I do my best to intice my host(s) to tip the restaurant's staff appropriately. It's awkward, cause I can't afford the meals, let alone tip on top of the lame tips my host tipped. Or is it expected to tip when someone sends you flowers or gifts? If I have the cash, I have no problem with gratitudy, but usually I don't and only go out when someone else is buying. To go orders, many times, takes as much effort as table service, etc. And will tip, also. But I don't go, cause I'm a poor _ _ _ _ _.
>I expect them to tip
How about stop going out to eat then if not paying a wagie is giving you anxiety. Tipping culture should be discouraged, no one deserves a tip.
I dont TIP
I hate those machines. Why should I tip you before you’ve provided given me a service.
There is no option to not leave a tip at two places I’ve been to already….
Next they'll be asking for tips for online orders.
Good info
i'll tip myself with a nice bar of chocolate rather than tip the self checkout machine. lol ive never given any tip at self checkout and never will. tipping humans is fine though, if you live in a country where that's normal.
I never tip.
Never tip those.
Hal 9000 wants that 20% tip or else Dave.
I’m tipping the self checkout at Walmart because when ai takes over I want to be on their good side.
I can work the coal mines maybe as a manager or maybe they can keep me as a pet
I feel like a part of that sentence was taken out of diary of a wimpy kid
😂 yeah nope.
Hell nah....why should I tip for providing my own service. Lol
Tip a robot
yall tip lazy people on fans just to stare at them
we need to pay machine union's wages up now? lol
Here's a tip for self checkout. Get the good veggies but put the cheap veggie code in lol.
Nah. That would discourage organics.
This is just theft.
Tip in cash.
GeezerGuy
I will never Tip on a Self serve A I !!
What is so funny that she is smiling from ear to ear
With such an aversion to tipping, only the little guys are losing in this equation.
