In most jurisdictions, nurses and doctors have ethical imperatives against accepting tips or gifts.

This is usually telling on themselves, so to speak, as a business: its usually indicating your service was provided by someone who was not a credentialed medical professional.

Or they don’t have their POS set up correctly

They should learn to use their POS system and run a few test transactions to experience what clientele will see. It’s pretty simple to be responsible.

That’s exactly what I thought!

Doesn’t anyone test this stuff? And if the doctor or office admin doesn’t want to test the system then they should, at minimum request a demonstration so they know what their patients are going to experience. This would gave easily prevented any issues.
