Shopper fumes after self checkout rudely asks for tip
A man was left raging after a self-service checkout machine asked him to leave a tip. While tipping is expected in some parts of the world, the customer was understandably left feeling baffled after being asked by a kiosk. The man simply purchased a chicken caesar wrap and a bottle of water at an airport shop, when the machine asked whether he'd like to leave a 15, 18 or 20 per cent tip. It didn't take long for Reddit users to jump in on the action, with one candidly asking: "Tip who exactly?" Another wrote: "This is especially annoying given how overpriced everything is at the airport. Then they have the nerve to ask for a tip". Meanwhile, a third joked: "Sure, it looks bad at first. But what you don't realize is, that self-serve kiosk is a single father with 4 kids, living paycheck to paycheck. He needs those tips more than we'll ever know." Reddit - Dive into anything from mildlyinfuriating As most are aware, the US is especially keen on tipping with a bare minimum of 15 to 20 per cent. Simon Calder, The Independent's travel correspondent outlined the basics to ensure tourists don't fall into the trap of breaking US travel etiquette. He explained that everything from taxis to dining and hotel staff are to be tipped. Taxis "expect an absolute minimum of 15 per cent," while if travellers are staying at an accommodation with bellhops, they are expected to "pay-per-bag". It is said that around a decade ago, 15 per cent was considered adequate for a meal at a restaurant. Now, the minimum has risen to 18 per cent.

Gabriel Jesus urges Arsenal team-mates to believe they can win Champions League
Gabriel Jesus believes he can finally win the Champions League and has told his Arsenal team-mates to share the faith. The Brazil forward has a love affair with Europe’s premiere club competition and was the difference-maker as Arsenal won 2-1 at Sevilla on Tuesday night. Jesus provided a moment of magic to lay on the opening goal for compatriot Gabriel Martinelli before curling home a fine individual effort – although his celebrations were curtailed as he limped off with 10 minutes to go. The former Manchester City striker, who came off the bench when Pep Guardiola’s side lost the 2021 Champions League final to Chelsea, has a phenomenal strike-rate in the competition – his goal at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium was his 23rd in 41 appearances for City and Arsenal. He still harbours ambitions of winning the trophy and feels it is something he and his colleagues can achieve this season. “It’s a competition that I love,” he said after his man-of-the-match display. “All the competitions I love, because I just love to play football. But I don’t know, since day one in the Champions League, my debut, I scored goals. Obviously it is not easy, but I think we have to believe. If we don’t believe, we cannot be here Gabriel Jesus “I haven’t won it yet, so I am looking for this, for this beautiful trophy. Obviously it is not easy, but I think we have to believe. If we don’t believe, we cannot be here.” While his goal was a moment to savour, Jesus’ role in Martinelli’s opening effort will live long in the memory as a deft touch took two Sevilla midfielders out of the game. A perfectly-weighted slide-rule pass played in Martinelli who, having missed a golden chance to break the deadlock earlier in the game, obliged with a cool finish as the two Brazil internationals combined to great effect. “I think for me as the type of player I am, I drop a lot more on the left side than the right side,” Jesus replied when asked about his relationship and understanding playing alongside Martinelli. “Obviously I drop on the right as well to help B (Bukayo Saka) and to play with B, but I drop more on the left. It works. “The wingers we have, not just Martinelli and B, but Reiss (Nelson), Leo (Trossard) and even Eddie (Nketiah) or Fabio (Vieira) when they play there, they are quality players. “I just go out wide and I try to play short passes and give them the ball, and they try to find me as well. It worked with Martinelli and I am very happy.” Mikel Arteta’s side return to domestic action when they welcome Premier League bottom club Sheffield United to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Gunners are unbeaten in their opening nine league games of the campaign and Jesus could yet be involved despite limping off late on in Spain. “I felt something. Let’s see,” he said. “I did some tests with the physio, it looks not that big, but let’s see. I have a scan, maybe tomorrow. I’m pretty sure it will be nothing.” Read More Sale condemn ‘disgusting abuse’ aimed at Tom Curry and his family Leigh Halfpenny announces international retirement after 101 caps for Wales Sean Dyche and Seamus Coleman pay tribute to Everton chairman Bill Kenwright Moeen Ali: Sri Lanka coach Chris Silverwood will be fired up to face England Having ‘hero’ in opponent’s corner could unsettle Tyson Fury – Carl Frampton Denver Nuggets open NBA season with 119-107 win over Los Angeles Lakers
