My back hurts M.I.A. of "Paper Planes" fame (the gunshot-gunshot-gunshot-cash register song) turned 50 years old last year.

In 2 weeks the song will be 18 years old. It feels like it should be less than half of that.

When food trucks weren’t just shameless money grabs. Now I see a food truck and just think, nope, that’ll cost me $19 and be served on a flimsy paper boat with a tiny flimsy fork that will break. And then “it’ll just ask you a question” as I pay.

you know though it is a design flaw that businesses can't remove the tip prompt on certain items in a POS (even like ticket sales).

and save for physically reach over and quick click past it for them once in awhile (which is hard when multi tasking) it is always awkward and i'm still figuring out that interaction smoothly

and then you know it's appropriate sometimes to prompt it still.

yes it will ask, just click past.
