What code could I enter there to get them to pay me for the food? 🤔
Amount/0
Negative tip value.
I wish 15% and 18% were options. Normally it's more like 20%, 25% (default), 28%, 30%
Eventually people will say that about the current options lol.
There should be no default percent options at all. None.
'complete transaction' or 'add optional tip'.
Literally saw 25% to 50% range the other day

Does this actually even work any more? I figured most things protected against it nowadays.

Too complicated. Just enter a negative number.
No negative sign on the keyboard. But you can enter 2147483647
Risky gamble there
The meme says "IRS", so it's obviously intended to refer to America.
But outside of that context, they'd fucking deserve it for their shitty dark pattern UX trying to export American tipping culture into the civilised world. If people want to tip, they can do it using cash (so the money actually goes to the person you intended it to!). Or at most, there could be a little "tip" button in the corner somewhere that then takes you to a page like this. It shouldn't be shoved in our faces like this.
Live in a country where tipping is practically unheard of. Lately pay terminals have started appearing in restaurants that have asking for tip enabled by default, and restaurants often don't know how to disable it.
Well, at least there are some safeguards. I was handed the terminal so I put in my PIN code, not realising it was actually asking for a tip. I was pretty confused when it said "value too high" or something like that.
Taalen's PIN > 0001 confirmed.

In most places even if you tip cash they are supposed to keep that for the tip pool and it is split. Often among the cook staff and other people at the restaurant.
I, an American, was ashamed when I had to ask that a tip be removed from my bill at a restaurant in Camden.
CAMDEN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WOKE AND Y'ALL FUCKING DOG OVER HERE
Pay your damn staff a good wage
