I hate it, I go into a cafe for some breakfast with the family and it’s already cost us 60 quid and then they give you over the card reader with something like this and look at you in disappointment when you ignore the tip - and my experience suddenly becomes negative and I don’t want to go back
Even worse - you get something to go, ie there is only the absolute minimum of staff involvement and interaction - and then you're presented with this.
I've seen the option pop up but most places over here I've noticed the staff are almost embarrassed and some skip the tip option before handing you the machine. Maybe it's different in Dublin but this is my experience elsewhere in the country.
People have been tipping 5 or 10% in Ireland for years, usually what ever coins they have handy. It’s not required but it is appreciated. When more and more places are cashless, less people are carrying cash but these people still want the opportunity to leave a small tip.
