Independent research shows that they often program that button so you have to hit it multiple times or push harder

They do that in hope of “oh shit it don’t work I guess il just tip”

lol i would sooner break the tablet than tip if i didn’t originally mean to lmao

but most touch screens aren’t pressure sensitive , so you shouldn’t have to press any harder

A lot of POS systems use Resistive touchscreen
since it’s no iPhone where it needs to track multiple touch points simultaneously.

They focus on TIPs and company logo on that screen super basic works amazing when it’s new

But planned obsolescence with make that screen shitty in 6months time or less depending on foot traffic

I would just press it several times until it works, than complain about the machine being shitty

Whose brain works like that?

If they give me a tablet where "no tipping" doesn't work, I just tell the guy it's broken, I choose "no tip" and then double-check the receipt after.
