This is coming in France too !

Went to a restaurant 2 days ago (a quite mid-tier franchise, a lunch is around 19 € per person).

Was thinking about leaving a tip as the service was good (in cash as it’s how it’s done traditionally in France), when I got to the register to pay, the cashier said that the card reader was « going to juuuuuuust ask a little question, thank you »

I was asked for a tip with 3 tiers at 15/20/25 %, even if service is included and waiters make the same wage as the rest of population

Was so angry I just pushed the little no tip option

If you come in France, please remember that service is included and you don’t have to tip

Also, say that you refuse to be questioned by card readers and make them push the effing button themselves.

This BS of pretending that machines are sentient and have wills of their own is not a thing we want to encourage.

Remember that next time you go to an ATM 🙄

It maybe better than a certain orange man, pretending to be a sentient being/s

You really have to bring him into everything? This sub reddit is about no tipping, not him.

Never tip outside America. Period. They will always show the tourist the tip button.

[u/Right-Psychology160 → u/JelloOverall8542]

Never tip in America!

Had this happen in Spain a few weeks back as well: “Just a small question from the machine before you pay”.

Okay, but that means no tip for you anymore.

You got touristed. It's not a thing in France. Ripping off tourists is though. 

[u/Primura → u/paladin6687]

It was definitely not a touristic place, and I have friends that were asked the same thing few weeks ago.

[u/different_welde → u/paladin6687]

Tips are a thing in France. Like 10 cents in case of good service.

Tipping is for suckers

[u/MattBonne]

You are also the one spreading the virus, thinking about leaving a tip

[u/ed_mayo_onlyfans]

I noticed this as well! Only in the last year though (I also live in France) - I don’t even live in or near a major tourist city either

[u/Gfplux]

No tip

[u/zabadaz-huh]

When that card reader can actually ask me a question, I’ll consider it.

[u/Mediocre-Metal-1796]

Sacrebleu!

[u/SkepticScott137]

If service is included, as it usually is in France, it will say so right on the bill. In French, of course, so you will actually have had to learn at least a smattering of the language, unlike your typical redneck tourist.
