Re: the screen will ask you a question....

@Franklinbell I get how the lady lost it over thinking a tip was in order, where it clearly shouldn't be. I think it just triggered her, since tipping expectations are becoming too darn aggressive. I imagine she laughed out of embarrassment. 

 

I'm a good tipper, but there are places where is it not appropriate. Even so, it leaves you feeling judged if you don't participate, with a minimum 20%. It's gotten out of hand.

@BlueFinch @That's what I thought about her. We all laughed after it was over. No harm no foul!

I am glad the lady was able to laugh about it when she realized.

@BlueFinch What really gets me is asking for a tip when they did not do anything to warrent it.  I was at a hotel in New Orleans for work.  There was a food place where you just pick up what you want and they ring you out.  And they ask for a tip for working the register?  H@ll no!

@Franklinbell 

 

I guess you had to be there to fully appreciate the moment.

 

Frankly, I find it annoying when people have hissy fits in public ... and it turns out they don't even know what they're talking about.  

 

Glad you got a good chuckle from it.

@QVCkitty1 - I agree.  Maybe she could've just read what was in front of her first, instead of causing such a fuss and delaying everyone else.

 

The pharmacy staff were probably trying to be discreet, not saying her phone number out loud for everyone else around to hear.

 

I don't know anyone who would think a pharmacy would ask for a tip.

Your story was humorous. Even though others apparently didn’t think so.🤔 I think we can all relate to that question when it comes up on the screen. lol.
