Zagorath ( @Zagorath@aussie.zone ) 139•3 months agoThe meme says “IRS”, so it’s obviously intended to refer to America.
But outside of that context, they’d fucking deserve it for their shitty dark pattern UX trying to export American tipping culture into the civilised world. If people want to tip, they can do it using cash (so the money actually goes to the person you intended it to!). Or at most, there could be a little “tip” button in the corner somewhere that then takes you to a page like this. It shouldn’t be shoved in our faces like this.
kevincox ( @kevincox@lemmy.ml ) 15•3 months agoIn most places even if you tip cash they are supposed to keep that for the tip pool and it is split. Often among the cook staff and other people at the restaurant.

Coasting0942 ( @Coasting0942@reddthat.com ) 50•3 months agoJokes on you. Restaurant owner too rich, behavior is within normal range for IRS AI.
Though the AI is interested on how your bank account is higher than it’s supposed to be.
RavenFellBlade ( @RavenFellBlade@startrek.website ) 29•3 months agoI’d love to know what this would actually do.
Edit: Thanks for the responses and lively discussion!!
Kerb ( @Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de ) 29•3 months agoits an sql injection attack.
its rather unlikely that it works in a modern app.assuming this would work,
it injects a command in the sql database.it is assumed that the app runs a sql querry with the input field as a parameter e.g.
INSERT INTO "bills" (item, ammount, tip) VALUES ("steak", "20,00 $", "content of the custom tip goes here");
the semicolon indicates the end of the querry,
so the the text would cause the app to run an unfinished querry, and then start a new querry that messes up the content of the bills table. some_guy ( @some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org ) 8•3 months agoFurther: xkcd.com/327

northendtrooper ( @northendtrooper@lemmy.ca ) 15•3 months agoCan’t they trace it back to you since you’re using a card to get that prompt?
survivalmachine ( @survivalmachine@beehaw.org ) 13•3 months agoIn my country, we can buy pre-paid credit cards in the supermarket using cash. I guess that is still traceable using supermarket security cameras and facial recognition, but if you’re attempting this, I’d make it as difficult as possible.

ProgrammingSocks ( @ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social ) 2•3 months agoThis isn’t even remotely viable. There’s so much isolation and “cloud” shit that it wasn’t viable from the start. It’s just a joke.
psud ( @psud@aussie.zone ) 1•3 months agoMaybe. If they can identify which record was the last one changed and the last one changed its directly related to the one that made the change and the ended transaction statement successfully posted a transaction
If the SQL injection crashed that person’s transaction there’s little chance of finding the culprit

Fire Witch ( @tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 1•3 months agoI wish 15% and 18% were options. Normally it’s more like 20%, 25% (default), 28%, 30%
Rediphile ( @Rediphile@lemmy.ca ) 2•3 months agoEventually people will say that about the current options lol.
There should be no default percent options at all. None.
‘complete transaction’ or ‘add optional tip’.
kalpol ( @kalpol@lemm.ee ) 0•3 months agoLiterally saw 25% to 50% range the other day
EndlessNightmare ( @EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com ) 1•3 months agoA 50% tip can get your credit card flagged as potentially fraudulent activity.
Rediphile ( @Rediphile@lemmy.ca ) 1•3 months agoWouldn’t they just see the total?
EndlessNightmare ( @EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com ) 2•3 months agoI’ve had transactions flagged for (intentionally) leaving large tips before. These large tips were justified for various reasons, such as comped meals.
Could be the specific credit card company I use?
Rediphile ( @Rediphile@lemmy.ca ) 1•3 months agoWhat makes you think it was flagged for a large tip specifically, rather than just an unusually high transaction?
It still confused me how they would know it was a $20 steak and $80 tip versus 5x $20 steaks and no tip. It would appear the same, a $100 transaction at Bob’s Steakhouse.
EndlessNightmare ( @EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com ) 2•3 months agoThe message specifically said it was due to the “unusually large tip”. They wanted me to confirm that it was intended.
If the article linked below is to be believed, the credit card company does indeed know how much of the transaction is a tip due to the way the transaction is processed. Note that this was at a full-service restaurant, not tipping at the counter for fast food or some other thing.
Consider when you pay with a credit card at a sit-down restaurant, they read the card first. Then you write in the tip on the receipt, meaning that they process this part later after the initial card reading. It is probably different with the tabletop self-checkout devices though.
