I'm sorry, if I'm buying a $4k machine the last thing I want to see is a tip % option. I'm all for them to make more money and have better conditions but no way this crap.

Apple’s Unionized Store Wants to Start Accepting Tips from Customers

Workers at Apple Inc.’s unionized store in Maryland are asking for higher pay and additional time off, along with changes that could affect the company’s tightly controlled retail experience, such as letting customers tip employees.

@paul When I worked at Apple in the pre-iPhone days, it was common for customers to try to tip us if we helped them to their cars with their new purchase (a big-honking CRT iMac or eMac, etc).
The rule was “no tips allowed” so we had to refuse.
MY rule was “only refuse once”. If the customer insisted…then thankyouverymuchhaveaniceday.
