    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.
