Monetary tip for PPF install?
Had paint protective film put on and was frankly a bit surprised to see the shop hand me an iPad showing a page where you could apply a 10, 15 or 20% tip.
You could also give a custom amount or decline completely. Is this normal? Obviously on a PPF job this is a decent hunk of change.

Likely just be something built into the generic interface of the pay app they are using on the ipad.

The place I went to last week to order Korean BBQ carryout uses an iPad that shows that tip line. I hit None. If I'm paying hundreds of dollars for tinting, I'm not going to give them a tip. The tint is like $20, and the rest is the labor charge they want to install it. Why would you want to give them even more money?????? All those apps prompt you for a tip. It's the same app no matter what business is using it.

They are selling an overpriced product and service. They are being VERY well paid. No tip. I don't tip a mechanic either, or a doctor or dentist. A waiter that doesn't make jack, will get a tip if they provide good service. I don't like it, but thats what we do in the US...
