The meme says "IRS", so it's obviously intended to refer to America.

But outside of that context, they'd fucking deserve it for their shitty dark pattern UX trying to export American tipping culture into the civilised world. If people want to tip, they can do it using cash (so the money actually goes to the person you intended it to!). Or at most, there could be a little "tip" button in the corner somewhere that then takes you to a page like this. It shouldn't be shoved in our faces like this.

I, an American, was ashamed when I had to ask that a tip be removed from my bill at a restaurant in Camden.

CAMDEN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WOKE AND Y'ALL FUCKING DOG OVER HERE

Pay your damn staff a good wage

Camden in Sydney? That's appalling. It's bad enough to be presented with a screen like in the OP. Needing to actually speak to a person to not have a tip added sounds probably illegal.

Yes, if it had been in Australia. Report it when you see it.
