    I know someone who worked for a major POS provider and they usually ship the terminals with tipping on by default. It’s up to the retailers to charge that once they receive the units.

      I’m sure they are falling over backwards to do it.

      I’ve accidently cancelled transactions trying to zero tip at take out pizza places and the like.

        The worst is how they put math on you also. They’ve you to choose 3 percentage options, or other as a dollar value. Fuck off with that shit and let me manually choose 15%.

        The other thing is when they ask for a tip before the service has been delivered lol

          They also put the 15% after tax.

          It used to be for exceptional service only.

          I believe it was 10% in the 1960s

            even into the 80s, at least, it was that… just move the decimal left one place for ten percent.

      Ha! I always suspected this. Putting the onus on the consumer to tip. Such bullshit straight from the top. Tipping culture is so bad.

      Then you get the places that aren’t McDonalds and you have to walk up to order and get your food and ask for a tip. I don’t tip there either.
