I'm opposed to tipping on principle. I understand it when workers are not organized and have no recourse to fair wage but have to turn to tips. I cannot understand it for a union shop. Negotiate a fair wage and say no to tipping dark patterns in society. I really don't care "how technologically easy" it is. That is just exacerbating the problem.

I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, I’m just saying the tech has enabled it to be ubiquitous. And when that happens, you’re going to get bloat all over the payment process- if it’s not tipping screens, it’s supermarket POS systems asking you to donate to random charities. At some point you need to take it as less of a moral social affront and just screen it out.
