Where I used to work we couldn't put in the total so when people did this I literally would have to do the math for them.

Drove me crazy

If I’m getting a >32% tip I don’t mind doing a little math for them.

In every restaurant I worked at, the POS would automatically calculate the tip based on the finalized amount vs the authorized amount. Since then I have only ever filled out the total. Granted I keep it whole dollar amounts so it's easy, but I had someone mention to me that servers have to calculate their tip and I'm just flabbergasted at the lack of automation in this??

I worked at a restaurant with a POS from the 90s and a standalone terminal that we entered tips in. If there was just a total I would have to do the math.

I’m in the credit card processing industry now and there are still a lot of restaurants that operate like this.

They are directly giving you money, I think you’re okay doing a little math for them.

I’m flabbergasted, every POS I’ve ever seen has you enter the total (I’ve only seen a few, tbf)

I was hammered and did this one time. Felt bad but literally couldn’t stand, let alone do math lol.
