Christ these comments are horrifying

A few fuckers tried this on me at a restaurant in Greece last year.

The proper reaction is not to click "no tip" then cower in case someone judges you.

The proper reaction is to click "no tip" then get on every fuckin review site you can find and every social media site the restaurant is on, and leave 1-star reviews for spoiling my fucking lunch by begging for money. Put the price I pay on the menu, or fuck off.

I'll tip a max of 10% if I want to. That's generous where I am

Fuck that, your whole point of hospitality is to make me feel comfortable, not uncomfortable.

If you don't do this, you're the reason it still happens.

Incidentally, was back in Greece this year and only got harassed for a tip once. Anecdotal but hey, felt like I made a difference

^This. 10% if it was a really good experience, otherwise you simply fulfilled your task and get paid the advertised price and we're good.

I agree with everything except the cowering part. Ask them if they're insane.

I lock eyes with the checker as I press "no tip". People get uncomfortable real quick if they try to shame you and you're not ashamed. They should be ashamed because the dirty tactics they use.
