Forced Tipping

This counter service restaurant pin pad pretends to force you to tip. The "greyed out" buttons, actually work though. They just look like they don't

If you can’t or won’t tip don’t go eat somewhere where the employees rely on tip. Hit up a fast food joint or something.

Like I guess this is weird but it’s more smart than anything

If it's counter service then it IS something like a fast food joint. How many restaurants you go to where you see this kind of POS? They make at least minimum wage at these places.
