      companies need to start learning to actually pay their employees a livable wage and stop expecting customers to do it for them

      Judging by the price/tip options it doesn’t seem to be a place where a major service is provided.

    3. Could also just be a place that does alot of pickup/takeout orders, especially with ubereats and doordash these days? People picking up generally dont tip on those

    4. At the blue jays’ stadium these are all touch screens, and the region where the ‘no tip’ option sits is dead on half of them. So when the person hands you your $20 coors can, they have to watch you spend 30 seconds mashing the no-tip button before it actually registers

    5. Personally I hope no tax on tips actually does come soon, because then I will feel precisely 0 pressure to tip anywhere anymore.

      Also looks like pressing “no tip” is less friction than actually selecting the % tip to apply. I’d think that probably contributes the most to people not tipping.

    7. I always say that there is no such thing as good service from establishments that accept tips. You don’t get to pretend that you provide good service while telling me to my face that you expect me provide a wage for your employees because you are shit employer who refuses to pay a decent wage.

      I think people get the wrong idea from ill-fitting, one-size-fits-all “payment handling as a service” used in a lot of smaller, independent places. They just pay a company that handles the terminals, card readers, and interfaces. They default to adding the tip thing themselves, the restaurant doesn’t give a shit if you mash 0% tip.

      There is a local Korean place that sets all the tip options to 0%, which is both boss of them, and indicates they can’t actually turn it OFF either.

    9. It has less to do with that and more to do with the areas pin numbers

      3 is worn but 6 is the next worn button. This means 3 and 6 are common among pins and pricing

      Meanwhile the bottom left of the keypad is pristine meaning they are rarely used

    10. “Alright, it’s just going to ask you a quick question and then you can tap your card!”

      It’s always the same question.

      Does “$” or “%” > “0” work? Could be a fun way to wear the other ones.
