I always hated tipping culture, this device's creator may be the hero we need to end it.

POS that ask for a reasonable tip, fine. Ones that START at 20 and up automatically get no tip from me.

If the business is asking for a tip... It's not just for the server. Its for the business

Got asked to tip while buying a shirt at a concert. The three percentage options were 5, 10, and 15, so not nearly as crazy as this image, but still, it's kind of ridiculous. I try to rationalize tipping based on if it's a service that I can't perform. I can line up a shirt number with the box it's in and find a size, however I'm not a barber, a barista, or a chef. The percentage I give is based on setting. Standing, 10% or a buck, whichever is greater. Sitting, 20%. Barbers get 30%+.

I’m waiting or the “just the tip” button.

I always apologize to the server when I am checking out and opt for a custom 10% tip or none at all. It is not their fault the company they work for feels it has no responsibility to pay for them. I explain this and sadly shrug. My company is not paying me enough either and I cannot afford to subsidize some other company. They usually smile and nod. It is unfortunate.

The tip of my finger would break the sound barrier on its way to press the No tip button

American tipping culture is bullshit. And to start with 30% is just plain stupid.

But not tipping at all is bullshit. I really need the taxfree money to buy drugs to cope with how fucking annoying and disrespectful half of all my guests are.

Id wish to be paid enough to not need tips, but to afford that my boss would have to raise the prices and other venues would snatch the costumers.

Just tip cash (5-15% is enough in most of europe).

On the other end of things, I got breakfast the other day and the options were 12% 15% 18%. I was pleasantly surprised.

What a coincidence, that 50% button is right next to “No Tip”.
