She Went To A Self-Serve Frozen Yogurt Shop And Was Expected To Tip Before Being Able To Purchase Her Treat
Tipping has become a hot topic over the last few years, with a lot of people feeling as if it’s gotten wildly out of control.
It’s a super sore spot when you’re asked to tip in a location where you’re the one doing all of the work, and no employees of a business are helping you out in any way.
TikToker Leilani, who goes by @leilanii_02, recently went out to get frozen yogurt at a shop where you’re required to serve yourself.
Leilani picked up a bowl, added the frozen yogurt, and then made her way over to the toppings section, where she picked out chocolate-covered strawberries and brownies.
When she was done serving herself, she approached the part of the store where you have to weigh your order so it can give you a total for what you need to pay.
“Not going to lie y’all, that was some expensive froyo,” Leilani explained in her video. “But anything to make my stomach happy, of course.”
“And so, I take out my wallet, pull out my card, and I’m tapping it, and it’s not working.”
Leilani figured that perhaps she had to swipe her card instead to get the payment processed, so she did just that; however, it still didn’t solve the problem.
She was beginning to feel humiliated, as she had a line of people behind her, waiting to pay for their frozen yogurt, too.

Finally, an employee of the store walked over to her and informed her that her payment wasn’t being accepted because she was being asked for a tip, which she didn’t leave.
The employee then told her to press on the bottom right corner of the screen, which designated no tip.
She double-checked to make sure that was alright, and the employee reassured her that it was fine since none of the employees get the tips anyway.
Apparently, the owner of the store pockets all of the tips and refuses to share them with anyone else.
“I think it’s crazy that these self-serve places are asking you to tip, and the owners are keeping it,” Leilani continued.
“Like that makes no sense at all.”
Do you agree with Leilani? What are your feelings on tipping culture?
