It does annoy me slightly when POS systems have placeholder tip amounts but they're like 18%, 20%, and 25%. Sorry, but I just do the standard 15% in most cases so now I gotta calculate it out in my head.
I'm gonna go with the standard 0% or round up the number if i feel like it.
I just had a POS machine recommend 20%, 25%, or 30% for percentages. It seems like it's increasing
I had one do that (well, even higher, 25, 30, 35, Other) for a retailer recently. Like, it took them under 10 seconds to ring me up and they should automatically get 25%? I chose zero.
You chose wisely
For POS they'd be much more likely to get a tip from me if the options were $0.50, $1.00, or $1.50.
The standard tip at a POS is 0. Generally the same for carry out.
If you're not getting personal service by a human, you don't need to tip.
They do it because they can get away with it and it makes money off of suckers.
I just keep reading this as Piece of Shit machine, and I don't think I'm too off the mark here.
Yes, very. The software on those things is terrible.
If you ever had to use one, you'd be right on the money.
As a non-native speaker, I assume POS != Peace of shit?
Point of Sale.
But you're correct in that most of these Point of Sale systems are also Pieces of Shit.
Can confirm.
Source: I make POS systems.
POS in normal talk means piece of shit. POS in business talk means point of sale.
Often it means that but in this case it means "Point Of Sale"
Point of Sale.
Point of Service (?) aka the machine that handles the transaction
If my tip is to be decided before I see my order in front of me, 5% tops if at all.
