Dear owners of these machines. Just because you automate some of your positions doesn't mean you can also subsidize the wages of the employees you still have to pay. Just pay your employees and shut the fuck up. I will never tip a kiosk. Or anyone that does nothing but hand me a bottle of water. You can emotionally make me feel guilty saying "they depend on those wages". What I am saying is an employer should not depend on me directly paying their employees for them. Pay your bills Mr. Business owner. If you love the free market so much, if none of us tip those workers they will find another job to survive. Making the owner have to pay more to remain operational. Don't manipulate me into keeping your business sustainable.
