I would press “no tip” just to see if that claim is true.
Think of it as assertiveness training.
I am once again asking that we credit the artist, Soren Iverson.
Cool, can I sue over damaged hearing because you are a total POS?
85db or above can cause hearing damage, and every 10db is a doubling of sound so that would be 8x louder than 85 db threshold.
My first thought also. Not only am I not tipping, I am suing for the painful, immediate and permanent hearing loss.
At 85 dB you’ll have hearing damage from long term exposure without hearing protection. Normally considered 8 hours a day 5 days a week. So 2000 hours in a year. Higher sound levels have a lower threshold so shorter times. 120 dB is the threshold of pain, so immediate hearing damage. Also, dB are a 10x log scale. So every 10 dB is an order of magnitude increase. So the siren is actually about 3000x louder than when you should start wearing earpro.
mutes phone, proceeds.
Fine by me, Im leaving anyway.
“Cancel”
Press “no tip” and sue them for hearing damage…
Seriously though, as a non American I only tip when the service or food was exceptionally good for the given establishment. People do however get paid a decent salary here, so tipping is optional.
Omg, so many opportunities for evil:
- retrieve earplugs from purse, put them in, press the button, hand the staff a $5 cash tip and a pair of earplugs.
- loiter outside offering pairs of earplugs to anyone entering the business
- call the business, pose as a vendor so I get transferred to the manager, and play a recording of the sound.
- leave fake reviews claiming the employees are on a covert malicious compliance strike and to show solidarity everyone should push no-tip.
- before hitting the button ask to speak to the manager and push no tip while making eye contact with them.
The real problem is the employee who didn’t create the policy would generally be the person subjected to any mischief so it’d lose its fun about the time the manager barred me from coming back the fourth time I no-tip stared them down.
I’m okay with punishing everyone else with that deafening alarm.

The system would be fair if it was both positive and negative tips. Then at least I would consider tipping. It’s a but rude otherwise.
The lowest tip value should be higher to reflect current tip pressuring tactics.

*240dB alarm triggers*
This kills everyone near by, and might bring down the building.
But I want that bagel…
Intimidation free bagels taste better though
It’s a matter of principle.
If you leave a tip, the terrorists win.
Honestly that’s kind of what they are
They set up a system so they can pay less to their workers, AND get their customers and workers to blame each other for it. They’re scammers, not terrorists.
I’m not tipping and I’ll be ordering twice 😈
