    Cool Dilemma At The Airport

    Recently a pax traveling through EWR stopped to buy a sandwich and a bottle of water. It was at the self-checkout machine where our pax faced a dilemma, on the screen was the question:

    " Would you like to tip?" Options - NO TIP/15%/18%/20%

    Our pax was surprised and did what most people would do when faced with a problem of kiosk etiquette, she posted the question to Twitter. Now as one that does use self check-out and sometimes remembers to bring a reusable bag, I do not tip machines, I tip myself-cash, besides I don't think machines get to keep the money anyway.
    So fellow non-revs - Do/Would you tip a machine?

    By the way, it was a chicken salad and the bill totaled $22.72

    No. It has really gotten out of control, except for tipping yourself cash then I’m all in.

    You can now see why the scale of tipping in the US is such a mystery to most folks who do not live there.

    Talk about a mystery, the same can be said about the TV license fee in the UK.
