Story summary
  • U.S. restaurants prompt takeout customers to tip through point-of-sale screens.
  • Screens show preset tip amounts that raise the total price without menu display.
  • Some venues request tips before service ends, allowing staff to adjust service based on generosity.
  • Authors argue takeout tipping misaligns with service norms and recommend resisting it unless entrenched.
