Comment on I complained about an Australian website asking for tips, so they removed the tip function.

I was in the market for a docking station. There was a particular brand that was showing up in recommendations, was well-rated, and had the specs I was looking for. I found it on Amazon, but I avoid buying from that place as much as possible, so I checked the vendor’s website directly.

They had the dock for sale on their own website, so I proceeded to purchase from there. However, when I was almost done with checking out, I saw that they were asking for / suggesting a tip. That’s honestly despicable for an online store and way past the line for me. So, I did some more research, found a different brand of dock, and bought that instead.

Looking back, I should have done what you did and notify jsaux of their missed sale, but I honestly just assumed it was a pointless endeavor. Maybe one day I’ll go back and see if it’s still there on their checkout, and if so, let them know they’ve missed at least one sale.
