On TikTok, a customer went viral after being forced to tip a robot that made a drink 10%.
In a video that has over 1.2 million views, content creator Uptin shot The Tipsy Robot in Las Vegas, a bar where all the drinks are made by robots.
Panning down to his bill revealed a 10% service charge was included. “I don’t normally mind the automatic 10% tip for making drinks, but you’re a robot,” Uptin said in the clip.
The video showed two robotic arms in the process of creating mixed cocktails.

According to TikToker, “no option to opt out” means customers have no choice but to tip the bot. Disappointed, he also added that the ice cream machine was broken and his drink came without ice.
