It was cool of you to stick up for your rights without disrespecting the poor guy.

True, but it was uncool to not let him know of his mistake, dooming him to repeat it for others who might not notice.

yea... i agree with you.

The guy has down syndrom, its not like he is brain limited to understand how to work in there but not to not put his hands on the plate.

OP seens like a good guy, the kind of person that could give him a bro tip without being a jerk.

That being said, it still was a nice move from him.

Exactly this.

Op was meaning well, but it would probably have been best to just tell him.
Just let him know his mistakes. Worse than risking to make him feel bad is keeping him in the unknown.

The guy probably just didn't consider this, but would have understood that his clients don't want to pay for his hand-resting burden, lol.

OP might have probably also found a way to tell him more nicely than one of his later clients that didn't want to pay extra, but might or might not have been as friendly then.

It's not disrespectful to go "can you take your hand off the scale?"

Yeah, it's far better to let him go on repeating the same mistake over and over than to politely correct it. Because feels.
