        Businesses are starting to introduce new options for tipping at self-checkout machines, putting even more pressure on customers amid rising inflation costs. Despite having zero interaction with employees during transactions, self-checkout machines at places such as coffee shops, bakeries, airports, and sports stadiums are giving customers the option to leave the typical 20% tip, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.
         Business owners believe that the prompt for a tip can boost staff pay and increase gratuities — but customers are questioning where and to whom the extra cash is going, considering self-checkout is done by the customers themselves. “They’re cutting labor costs by doing self-checkout. So what’s the point of asking for a tip? And where is it going?” are some of the questions customers ask. But tipping researchers claim this is a way for companies to put the responsibility of paying employees on the customer rather than increasing employee salaries themselves. Self-tipping is viewed by many customers as a way to guilt-trip the person into tipping on something when they typically wouldn’t.
         Many companies told the Journal that these tipping prompts are optional, and the extra gratuity is split between all employees. However, experts say that tips at a self-checkout machine might never even get to an actual employee since protections for tipped workers in the federal Fair Labor Standards Act don’t extend to machines.

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder à questão abaixo:

(1º§) POSTNATAL depression is rife among parents, affecting more than one in 10 women within a year after they've given birth. But many mums hesitate before speaking out about their battles with mental health in what supposed to be a blissful period for them.

(2º§) Ellie Polly Killah, a YouTuber and mum of two boys aged six and two, said she'd ummed and ahhed about sharing her own experience for two years. In a video uploaded to her channel, she gave a raw account of her postnatal depression and the severe anxiety and intrusive thoughts it triggered in its aftermath. "I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, I'm just gonna say it how it is because it's not a pretty thing to deal with, to go through so I'm not going to try and make it so," she told viewers. "This is my story from the beginning till now and how I learned to live with it - I say live with it not overcome it because I don't think you ever do," the mum went on. She hoped the video might help anyone at the precipice of this process.

(3º§) Ellie said she had no history of mental health struggles when she gave birth to her first son Leo in 2017 at the age of 27. She was the first of her friends to have a kid she recalled feeling lonely. And Ellie became aware of her 'attachment issues' with Leo immediately after he was born. "People love to tell you that when your baby is born you have this immediate rush of love when you look at them," she explained. But Ellie said that isn't the case for everyone and it wasn't the case for her with her first child. "Obviously I was amazed when I saw him, sort of overwhelmed, couldn't believe he was here, but I don't remember feeling that complete love and awe of him."

(4º§) Ellie struggled to feel bonded to Leo, but thought there was just 'something really wrong' with her. "I would cry every day but a lot of the time in secret," she remembered, and the new mum said she locked herself in her room to do so whenever someone came round to visit. "I think I did it secretly because I was embarrassed or ashamed, or I thought if people knew I was struggling that they would just think I was this awful mother, or he'd get taken away from me." "Your brain sends you an all of these imaginary scenarios."

(5º§) In retrospect, Ellie questioned how she thought this was normal. Her fiance Clint went back to work when Leo was two weeks old and he'd often have to travel, meaning that Ellie was on her own a lot. She remembered ringing Clint and saying __ her son: "I feel like I don't like him." She told viewers it was painful to recall feeling that way, but it made her begin to realise something wasn't quite right. "This was the first baby for both of us, so we didn't really recognise post-partum depression or know what we were really looking for.

(6º§) At eight weeks old, Ellie's bond for her baby 'came on quite suddenly'. "I remember it hitting me like a wave, looking at him one day and being like: there it is," Ellie said.


Intrusive thoughts and OCD

(7º§) But the guilt of not experiencing that early attachment lead to the mum being 'extremely anxious' about her son. She explained: "The intense love and responsibility that I had to this baby lead me to constantly, constantly [think] he was going to die." Ellie would have 'hideous, morbid, intrusive thoughts' multiple times a day, particularly triggered when she was driving or Leo was in the bath: "It was intense."

(8º§) She started to get panic attacks and physical side effects from the anxiety she was experiencing, like like a tight chest, stomach pains, nausea and headaches. "I know now that OCD basically goes hand in had with severe anxiety," Ellie went on. At her worst, Ellie was convinced her home would catch fire in the night and would obsessively plan out an escape route in her head before sleeping. She also became gripped by the fear that she would die __ the night and leave her baby on his own.    

(9º§) Ellie asked her mum or fiance text her every morning in case this happened.The new mum had her wake-up call when she confessed this fear to her friends one evening and saw the horror on their faces. She booked a therapist appointment the next day.


What helped?

(10º§) Ellie said therapy was hugely helpful to her recovery journey, as was medication. The mum saw female therapist who specialised in anxiety, who taught her techniques that Ellie said she used to this day. A method deal with with her intrusive thoughts was to take a deep breath when she was taken over by one, soak it in and then weigh up the evidence it is true vs. the evidence it isn't. "The one or two minutes it takes for you to sum up that evidence for and against, you've completely calmed down," Ellie said.

(11º§) Three years later Ellie said she's realised how common her experience with postnatal depression is. "I'll worry about my kids forever, I'll probably always get these horrible thoughts and ideas, but I know how to deal with them so I just get on with it. It doesn't control me at all." She went on: "If you are in a dark place and feel like you need help, just talk to someone." Then it's best you get professional help, as these kinds of feelings are "really hard to master on your own". The mum ended on a happier note. "And if you had a bad experience and you're nervous about your second, let me tell you it was a completely different experience __ me second time round.

How would you draw an elephant if you’d never seen one?

        For illustrators in medieval Europe, depicting animals like elephants that they’d never set eyes on was a key part of their task to shape the morality of humankind.

        What mattered most was what such creatures represented in Christian spiritual terms—and so a lion might represent the virtues of strength and courage.

        Such depictions appeared alongside biblical stories and in extraordinary illuminated manuscripts—including illustrated bestiaries—created by hand before printing became dominant in the 16th century.

        And among the earliest medieval European representations of fantastic ________ were elephants. Their bond with their solitary children represented devotion, while stories of elephants taking care to be _________ around smaller animals symbolized kindness to others. Elephants were also said to represent the spiritual redemption of Jesus Christ, possibly because they had the strength to easily lift a person out of sin.

        The problem was, however, that few artists in medieval Europe had ever seen a real elephant—instead they created an astonishing variety of fabulous pachyderms that still fascinates today.

        Elephants first appeared in Europe with invading armies as far back as 280 B.C., when the Hellenistic king Pyrrhus __________ 20 along for his failed invasion of Italy.
