Bro if there's a website to share this feedback.
I was just at a restaurant where it was 20%, 30%, or 40% tip, and Custom.
Food was good but fuck that, I'm done.
Eh, custom -> 0% works. I prefer to leave cash tips anyway.
Custom -25% inconvenience fee.
I wish that worked...
I also wish I could charge businesses for my time dealing with their BS. For example, I needed to go down to the bank to open a new account because they couldn't identify me, but when I showed up, there were no bankers present. So I made an appointment, and still had to wait for a banker. Or when I had to wait on hold for half an hour just to cancel a credit card because there's no way to do that online (and they have no branches), and they do that just to have a chance at convincing me to keep it.
If companies can charge me a fee for "maintenance" or "convenience" or whatever, surely I should be able to charge them a reasonable per-instance inconvenience fee (i.e. my hourly rate at my job, or what I'd charge for contract work).
Can I pay just the tip?
Over the last six months or so, I haven't tipped once in any establishment whatsoever. I decided it was a cancerous practice and people deserve to be paid what they're due.
so you just go out and eat without tipping
No, I haven't been out to eat in over six months.
When we say we're against tipping people really say "then don't eat at restaurants" as if that isn't the best thing we can do for ourselves financially. By not paying restaurant prices I only give myself more money.
I'm Mexico a customer was beaten to death for not paying a tip. WTF, they killed a person for not paying like 5 dollars
Big doubt, got a source? I'm guessing there was more to the story.
I agree. The folks who run Square are, indeed, Pieces Of Shit.
That's what you meant, right?
If I'm talking to a cashier instead of putting my card on the table, I haven't been provided a service that warrants tipping.
Exactly, which is why I almost never tip. I'll occasionally leave a tip at Dominos or something if they were prompt in finding my pizza while being really slammed w/ orders, but there's no way it's getting anywhere close to what I'd tip at a place where I'm actually being served.
I'll occasionally leave a cash tip in a jar at a counter order place if the staff were helpful in some way (or the food was especially good), but that's also pretty rare.
If this became real, it wouldn't affect me and I'm introverted and near mute in public. I already do this with the "would you like to round up to donate" bullshit. I only have problems saying "no" if it will possibly hurt a person's feelings; idgaf about the feelings of a business.

Fair enough, but you should know that the money you donate by rounding up doesn't in any way benefit the business. It's your donation and iirc you could even technically write it off your own taxes (doubt it's worth the hassle though)
Also the thing about tips is that it will unfortunately hurt peoples feelings because at least in some places they probably earn below minimum wage. It's absolutely bullshit, but not participating isn't the perfect solution it might seem
Not strictly true. CVS, a US retailer, announced they would be donating $10 million to a charity and would be supporting the charity via customer round-up prompts as well.
In reality, they were including the customer donations in the $10 million, so anything customers donated saved them money.
It doesn't really save them money, it just means they can report that number and get a public pat on the back. I highly doubt they were planning on donating that money w/o customer donations, they likely looked at past donations and figured this was a safe number to go for.
Donating through one of those prompts doesn't help or hurt the company in any meaningful way, other than allowing the company to take credit for your donation (not on taxes, just on public statements).
Where's the "Only the tip" button?
Those tips are too small. It should be set at 18%, 20%, and 25% with no option for tipping less.
It should be set at 18%, 20%, and 25% with no option for tipping less.
You are, in essence, giving corporations a 18-25% discount on wages.
Exactly. Which would make this theoretical POS even more consumer unfriendly then OP's 2%, 4%, and 6% choices.
More people might be inclined to tell the cashier to remove the tip when it's higher, but if it only shows percentages then people might be inclined to just hit the smallest one instead of doing the math to figure out how much they're tipping.
Yeah, I'm guessing OP is in Europe or something where tipping is much less common, because those tipping numbers make no sense from an American/Canadian perspective where tipping is absolutely a thing. Square POS terminals already prompt for 15%, 18%, and 20% or whatever, even for counter-order, so I don't know why this picture dropped the amount so much.
Thing is, this is at the dollar store, and you can only buy one item per transaction.
Then how did they get a bill of $49.08? Nothing at the dollar store would cost that...

I'm so used to telling homeless folks I have no money that I'm pretty sure I can look the barista or whoever straight in the eye and say "No tip."
Actually kind of fucked society pushes us to that point, huh?

POS systems including tip requests really piss me off. We recently discovered a great local restaurant and we order food from them (and pick it up, to take home) a few times a month. They have one of those POS systems and it really irritates me to have to tap 'No Tip' in plain view of the cashier every time. We're picking up food; I'm walking up to a counter, collecting a bag, swiping a credit card and leaving. Why the fuck would I tip for that? I don't tip at the grocery store and cashiers there do the same amount of work.
