Consumers are now requested to leave tips at self-checkout machines at some airports, bakeries, coffee shops and stadiums across the US

Airports, coffee shops, stadiums and restaurants are now requesting tips with little to no interaction from employees with consumers

Customers, including a Wall Street day trader and college students, shared their experiences with leaving tips at fast-food restaurants with drive-through service and brand name coffee shops, like Starbucks, with Fox News Digital in January. "I feel like if there's an automatic question to ask for tipping, there should be fine print stating where these tips go," day trader Shaun MacDonald told Fox.

"It doesn't have to be huge, but it should be in writing on the screen saying these tips help out employees or these tips go to all employees, which includes management. It should be specified."
