If you know Howell’s history it’s easy to guess it’s there, but it’s a shame. Cute town.

Awesome, thank you :)

Did you learn it from a meme on Lenny and have you verified that it’s true? I didn’t, and I’d like to believe that stat.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this written about so -

The reason these tipping prompts are so egregiously inescapable now is that those point of sales systems are handed out by Clover and the like when the business starts using them for POS and inventory and credit card processing.

For each CC transaction, the business pays something like 2-3% of the transaction and so the CC processor becomes incentivized to make that transaction amount higher. That’s how we got here. You’re being guilted into tipping a shitty tech company.

Carry cash. Pay cash whenever possible. That’s how you avoid that screen.

Separate dispensers like they said, but if you’re paying the meal and you tell the kids to go get their drinks and they want lemonade you have to watch out they don’t get the heart attack shit. Once you know you know, but I couldn’t believe that’s a thing that exists.

My kids went and filled their cups with this stuff before I noticed what it was and then had to be the bad guy, telling them to get the Minute Maid shite. Definitely lowered my opinion of Panera.
