*edited post title to make it clear that this is a joke
Yeah that's when I'm hitting cancel.
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.
Oh thanks for clarifying this. I thought Square as in "don't be a square" and POS for well, "piece of shit".

Where's the "Only the tip" button?
The punchline is that the cashier doesn’t get any of the tips; they’re pure profit for the business.
"Hi customer, would you like to give us bonus money for no reason other than your accommodating nature?"

Can I pay just the tip?
A buck. And never return. Fuck that.
Or no sale and never return. The cancel button is right there.
OP, just saying "(not real, fyi)" in the text part of the post seems a bit misleading.

Tipping culture is weird and I only ever hear people mention it in the context of hating it. Yet they seem to have the mindset that there are no other options.
Have you talked to a lot of servers about it? I have a few friends who are servers who hate the idea of cutting out tips and just making minimum wage because they would make significantly less money.
Crazy thought, really really outside the box lateral thinking type shit, but how about paying them a living wage instead? Seems to work for other industries. I'm not tipping my welder.
I mean, if we're waving a magic wand, I have a huge list of other improvements for society
Exactly. Servers can make bank on tips, especially on holidays.
I don't think we should ban tips, but we also shouldn't let restaurants pay servers under minimum wage and there should be something printed on the bill/POS about tips being appreciated but not required. Also, tips shouldn't be required to be shared, customers should be able to select who gets the tips (waiter, cooking staff, or shared).
Tips were first used as a way for rail lines to avoid having to pay black coach attendants a wage.
It isn't surprising that service workers don't want to abolish tips, since that's primarily how they get paid now - but that doesn't mean we shouldn't abolish them. The owners should have to pay their workers a living wage. By making that the consumer's responsibility, it frees the business owner from the responsibility of paying their workers for their labor.
Tip wages are exploitative, plain and simple.
