Forced tips at drive through

[peter4025]

Does this happens to me only or does anybody else have the same experience:

Every time that I go to a drive through the don't give me my change back unless I request it. McDonals, Taco Bell and the worst Tim Hortons. You buy a coffee for $1.70 pay with a twoonie and the attendant starts doing something else instead of giving you the change. I ussually have to knock on the window to request it.

It use to be like this only at strip bars where the waitress would be really slow at returning your change if she did it at all, but now is everywhere. I'm not cheap and I don't mind tipping but I think it should be my prerogative to do it.

Use debit or cc next time

 

[rhuarc29]

I've never experienced this.

You're right: tipping should be your prerogative.

If its Timmies use a Tims card
that way they can only charge what the bill is
fast food places.... unless its a $20 charge or more...you're gonna get fucked by the debit Co. or CC company

[good to go]

I just patiently wait.

That's not tipping that's theft.

I see it at Tims all the time as well.

 

[Smallcock]

I've never experienced this. Is this happening everywhere you go or just at specific locations?

 

[DB123]

Never once has that happened to me.

How am I going to get fucked by mastercard when I pay for a 1.34 coffee on my mastercard? I do it all the time and am still waiting to get fucked. Unless you mean the retailer gets fucked? IF so, why do I care?

THEY are, sure, but how is that your problem?

I have only visited for a week or so about once a year but a few times I have seen the exact opposite. Say the cost of what ever was 5.10. I hand hand them a 5 and the change and they weren't interested in the change. Happened to me a couple of times. I assumed Canadians had the same aversion to change as Italians.

Italians are nutso over change. The for sure don't want to change to coin (smallest bill is 5 euro). If you hand them say 2 twenties for a 15 euro bil they can go crazy. And don't try handing them a 50. The problem is many of the ATMs dispense 50s so you need to take multiple withdrawals of 40 euro.

I would either sit and jam their drive through, or go in and ask to speak to the manager. I would also call the corps head office.

Never had this happen at Timmies, and I hit a few regularly across Ontario. They are trained, in my exoerience, to collect the cash and deal with change before giving you the food. They are also highly motivated to keep the line moving, they don't dick around usually.

 

[Smash]

Me either.

Just wait and sooner or later they decide to find out why

Most of those knobs do not even print receipts (unless you insist) so they are probably stealing from the register

Tipping for fast food? lol what has the world come to
