HU🚨 THE TIP SCREEN IS LYING - AND IT KNOWS YOU WON’T CHECK
"They're trying to trick us.”
A woman records the checkout screen after her bill comes out to $60.50.
She taps 18%.
The screen claims the tip is almost $30.
She stops and does the math herself.
“That’s not 18%,” she says.
"That’s a 50% tip.”
So she tests it again.
• 18% → $29
• 20% → jumps to $33
But when she calculates it manually?
20% of $60.50 is about $12.
So when the screen says “18%,” it’s actually pushing ~50% - almost triple what it should be.
Not a rounding error.
Not tax confusion.
Just inflated buttons counting on people to tap fast and trust the screen.
Her warning is simple:
“Don’t just start clicking stuff. Don’t get bamboozled.”
If the tip screen can be off by 30 percentage points right in front of you… how many people have already overpaid without realizing it?
