A widely shared video showed a customer being asked for a tip at an automated checkout with no employee providing the transaction. Commenters noted that the clip may predate the 2026 repost, so the incident date and location remain unknown.
The tipping decision was presented before service was completed.
A tip was requested where the customer performed most of the service.
The request appeared in a setting not traditionally associated with tipping.
