Usually it isn't the store pushing this, but Square itself. They take a percentage of each transaction so they naturally want to make the charges as high as possible.

Fake news. This can all be configured in square.

As someone who uses square at our business, you can indeed customize it a little bit. Though I've never seen the "talk to a cashier button." Ours says custom tip where someone can place a zero $$ tip as well.

But to the point of square taking a cut... The entire amount (including tip) has a percentage taken by square... So they do want you to have as big a transaction as possible because they make more money.

Though I’ve never seen the “talk to a cashier button.”

Well yeah, that's the joke here.

Oh thanks for clarifying this. I thought Square as in "don't be a square" and POS for well, "piece of shit".
