• Ordered a single roll of paper towels online yesterday and the checkout page asked me to tip the warehouse. Not the driver. The warehouse. Picked eighteen percent out of pure confusion before I caught myself and hit custom amount. Does anything exist that flags these prompts before you hit pay so I stop getting guilted by a button. Would like to buy things without an ethics quiz first.
