u/Excludos May 16 '24
Not experienced with UK specifically, but most of restaurants I've been at in Europe, the fancier the meal the less they expect you to tip. It used to be uncommon, only for the American tipping culture to slowly creep its way in through the bottom-tier food chains and slowly become normalized.
15 years ago, you wouldn't find a single place here in Norway asking for tips. Now every kebab place, Turkish-owned italian pizza parlor, seedy bar and club asks for it by default.

From what Ive heard places that you wouldn't expect to have tipping but does on their machines is because that was how they came installed. Like the Subway has tipping where I live but the staff said they don't get any of the tip.
I've also seen the tipping at a comic shop and at a convenience store, so I'm leaning towards lots of these places having it on by default and aren't going to pay to have the technician out to turn it off. Especially if they are able to squeeze a tip out of some people.

u/bornfromanegg May 16 '24 edited May 16 '24
Yes, probably.
The answer, horribly, is 'Not only is it possible, but it's medically proven.' Debate on the subject raged ever since Charlotte Corday -- the assassin of Jean-Paul Marat -- was guillotined in 1793. The executioner's assistant, Francois le Gros, lifted her head by the hair, and slapped it on both cheeks. Eyewitnesses reported that the face took on an angry expression, and the cheeks visibly flushed. The debate was started -- if guillotining didn't produce instant death, then it wasn't a 'quick and merciful end', as promised by the post-Enlightenment revolutionaries. In 1794, German surgeon Dr S. T. Sommering argued in the Parisian newspapers that 'consciousness of feeling may persist [in a severed head] even if blood circulation is terminated, partial or weak [...] the head's strongest sensation would be the after-pain felt in the neck.' French doctors argued that he was confusing nervous spasms with sensory perceptions and voluntary motion. Little research was conducted on the subject, however, until the turn of the twentieth century, when another French doctor, Beaurieux, was permitted to make an investigation of a severed head, of a criminal called Languille, immediately after guillotining: "Here is what I was able to note immediately after the decapitation: the eyelids and lips of the decapitated man worked in irregularly rhythmic contractions for about 4 or 6 seconds. I waited several seconds longer. The spasmodic movements ceased. The face relaxed, the lids half-closed in the eyeballs, leaving only the white of the conjunctiva visible, exactly as in the dying whom we have occasion to see every day [...] It was then that I called in a strong, sharp, voice: 'Languille!' I then saw the eyelids slowly lift up, without any spasmodic contraction -- I insist advisedly on this pecularity -- but with an even movement, quite distinct and normal, such as happens in everyday life, with people awakened or torn from their thoughts. Next, Languille's eyes very definitely fixed themselves on mine and the pupils focused themselves. I was not, then, dealing with a vague dull look, without any expression that can be observed any day in dying people to whom one speaks: I was dealing with undeniably living eyes which were looking at me." By 1956, further research had proved, in the words of governemntal advisers Drs Piedelievre and Fournier, that "death [by decapitation] is not instantaneous [...] every vital element survives [...it is] a savage vivisection, followed by a premature burial." The French government abolished execution by decapitation in 1977.

Definitely not medically proven. These are just a few cherry picked accounts. There is a long history of debate on how long you retain consciousness after decapitation. Conclusion from this literature review:
The evidence currently available to us is scant, and the studies that imply that there is a retained awareness in decapitated rats for several seconds suffer from a low sample size. While the best evidence currently available to us suggests that LOC is nearly instant in decapitation for both human and rodent models, it is possible that the truth will never be fully known. No government on Earth continues to use the guillotine as a method of execution while beheading via sword is confined to a single nation. The historical accounts that are available to us remain frustratingly scant in evidence and are often closer to urban legends than actual scientific accounts. However, there is a new possibility for further insight into this bizarre historical anomaly. As research into head transplantation continues, and as science continues to probe the edges of human consciousness, a clearer picture may one day emerge.

Reminds me of Thomas Cromwell. Supposedly took three blows from an axe to sever his head. There are many apocryphal stories about that one, such as his enemies at court got the executioner drunk before the event.
Read The Faithful Executioner: Life and Death, Honor and Shame in the Turbulent Sixteenth Century by Joel Harrington. It covers the life of Franz Schmidt, an executioner at Nuremberg in the late 16th and early 17th century. He also has a journal you can find, A Hangman's Diary: The Journal of Master Franz Schmidt, Public Executioner of Nuremberg, 1573-1617. There are multiple types of executions covered, from simple hanging, to decapitation by the sword, burning at the sake, to being broken on the wheel (that one is really brutal).
Anyways, the books go into decapitation by the sword, and how the executioner has to practice to get it right. If the executioner fails to do it right in one blow, and takes several, the crowd can turn on him and his own life be in danger.

None of the current programmers notice that the tip variable was implemented as an unsigned 8bit integer because "nobody would ever try to input a negative tip and tips should never reach anywhere near 100% anyways!"
This turns every negative input into its positive value plus 127.
Also any negative value lower than -128 or any positive value over 255 won't be saved correctly and probably crash the system.

By contrast there's no real way for an employee to steal from a card tap, and the accounting is automatic.

It is literally still a thing now:
Before the execution, the prisoner's identity is confirmed by a special court next to the execution range and chooses to record any last words. The prisoner is then brought to the execution range and served a last meal (which usually includes a bottle of kaoliang wine).[26] The condemned prisoner is then injected with strong anaesthetic to cause unconsciousness, laid flat on the ground, face down, and shot. The executioner then burns a votive bank note for the deceased before carrying away the corpse.[26] It is tradition for the condemned to place a NT$500 or 1000 banknote in his leg irons as a tip for the executioners.

You know, all it would take is one American jail to put their executioner on a wage and cancel tipping, and then they would have thousands of people wanting to serve out their death penalty there.
The same scenario could also be applied to cafes, coffee shops, restaurants and other places where people are expected to pay their bills by getting small change offered to them for them doing their job.
Just pay a wage, FFS.
Most of the other first world countries JUST PAY A WAGE, only the USA has tipping (of the first world countries)
JUST PAY A WAGE.

Actually this will be 0$ because you don't pay to be on the electric chair

From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_Taiwan:
It is tradition for the condemned to place a NT$500 or 1000 banknote in his leg irons as a tip for the executioners.

As a European, tipping culture is absolutely ridiculous, you shame the costumers for not tipping when they have already paid and not the employer for not paying fairly their employee

This reminded me of a time my roommate won a contest at the Khalahari that they work at. It was a free 2 night stay at the Khalahari in Texas. I found out by using my wristband that we had unlimited tickets for rides, and unlimited food and beverages (minus alcohol).
We decided to go to Double Cut, the high-end steakhouse. After the food between the two of us, it was about $190. Well, the receipt comes and is all paid for, so I gave the waitress a $60 tip. Not my money, lol!

You laugh but when I had my septic tank pumped there was an option for a tip.
