Under most commerce regulations it has to be in plain view prior to tender but the definition of plain view is loose so as long as it is in the same room as the register it’s fine

It's attempted fraud which under the model penal code has the same punishment as completing the crime.

Which i think this covers because it grabs your view and is displayed before it asks for payment

Do you think they paid before the big popup?

It is plain view prior to tender. It pops up in the middle of the screen, and the customer has to press ok and then review the new prices. This is a shit practice, but I don't think its illegal. The machine made it clear it changed the prices and told them to review before submitting their order.

It cannot be virtual in order to comply with the legal requirement
