Put a button for $1 and I'll hit it all day. And I know that ain't the person behind the register deciding, but if I get ice cream for my family and it costs 35 fucking dollars because that's how much fucking things cost these days, I'm not throwing you 15-25% in tip, let's be realistic. Put a $1, $2 option and I honestly think you'll have more luck.
Not to old man this shit, but I scooped ice cream at a restaurant/ice cream place for 5.25 back in 2004. You know how I earned tips? I played a game with customers, let me and the girl I'm working with guess questions about your life and we will give you a free size upgrade. People frequently played along, we had fun, fucked over the owners a bit (they sucked), it was really a win/win.
I was eventually fired.
Fired for doing the free upgrades?
So I got fired for threatening to report them for withholding employee checks. They had a bunch of 15-19 year olds closing one night, maybe five or six of us, and one of the ice cream freezers got turned off. Someone's honest mistake, a bunch of ice cream melted, sucked, but they said okay, we're just going to withhold all your paychecks, and I said fuck no you're not, and proceeded to threaten reporting. In the end, me and my coworkers all got our $27 paychecks, but I lost my job. I am by no means a hero, was just a little belligerent as a kid, and it felt like a good opportunity to really dial in the belligerence.
The lesson here is to report them without telling them.
