      Yes, but sadly the contrary is happening. Restaurant owners now have a sneaky trick to increase tips in order to lower wages: you know those receipts & terminals that have a “suggested tip”? Yeah, those things… they keep increasing. I was handed a PoS terminal in Netherlands (where tipping norms are like a couple euro), and the terminal asked me to tap for how much I want to tip which suggested as much as 25%.

      It’s working, too. A recent article described how this trick is causing average tips to increase. So the #warOnCash is part of the problem.

      I agree with the sentiment, but I think it’s important to remember that it’s the employers we should be mad at, not the employees.
