This is the correct approach. If you are an asdhole for not caring about others but using the herd immunity znyway, this is the latest that can be done to show contempt.
My wife is immunodepressed and cannot be vaccinated. She avoids plenty of places because shit people like this do not care.
I once physically threw away someone sick and unvaccinated from a place for babies only that are not protected by the mother and too young to protect themselves. It was violent, I called the police afterwards myself.
Covid vaccines never prevented infection and transmission. If anything, out of the people I know the vaccinated got it much more often because they were more careless.
A restaurant is fundamentally selling an experience. These screens do not improve the experience. Therefore, they have some cost to the business. The question is whether the cost is recuperated.
This is no pressure. You can exert pressure by saying that you are cancelling the transaction because of the tipping screen and you'll eat somewhere else.
You could tell them that you are very happy to pay them the price they printed on the menu and that they can present you with a payment terminal charging exactly that price, but that you will not do that job for them. Basically make the waiter select the 0% option.
But in the end you'll only annoy the waiter and not the owner of the restaurant who is actually running the tipping scam.
At least in that case you can safely select a 0 tip. It's worse when you pay up front and have to worry about a lower than expected tip resulting in some kind of retribution from the staff.
Yeah that's not possible. When you're presented with the terminal the food is already in your system.
Or maybe you can be like our former Ministry of Culture, Jack Lang, who just resigned from a prestigious, if useless, post in the wake of the Epstein scandal. It was revealed that he never paid for anything in his 60+ years of public "service", always leaving restaurants, hotels, etc. without footing the bill.
For you and me, this would be called stealing and would eventually land us in jail. But if you're a minister in France it's called "living like a prince" and being "a little stingy".
I saw the same in an ATM in Greece. The first screen wanted me to let them convert the currency (at a 20% markup), I declined, and the second screen said "are you sure? You might be charged a lot" and had "accept" and "decline" where the small print said "do you want us to convert anyway?".
Here in Greece it always asks "Euro or USD?". Most merchants know to press Euro, the rest ask me. I think I've maybe had one merchant press USD by accident in ten years or so.
Exactly, who has more incentive to rip you off, your bank or some random merchant/payment processor/local bank that you are probably never going to interact with again either way.
In general, text isn’t a great medium for transmitting spatial info. That’s why it’s easy for a model to understand an image but hard for it to draw an SVG of that image.
This is a big reason why SOTA models are trained multimodal these days. Even when you're using them for text, the knowledge they gain from images and video improves their world models.
They forgot that there are still people asking good questions and started to close everything.
Z downvote from z bozo weights the sama as one from an expert.
You need to bend backwards znd then lay flat to not annoy mods
Meta is the nest of psychopathic narcissists.
And many more.
Stack Exchange sites such as cooking or latex (and other niche ones) work very well. It is just that people are not full of themselves.
I started with SE ca 2014, loved it, participated a lot, accumulated half a million internet points and now hate the place. It did not age well.
