Sure, it's becoming commonplace. Does that stop people from voting with their fingers? What noise needs to be made to stop what? I'm really trying to understand. I think I am kind of starting to get it, I have been assuming people are just upset that there is a social pressure to tip. The fact that this pressure now takes place on a touchscreen is nothing new.

Employees are going to want their employer to have a 'give me more money' button at the end of every purchase, and this is just currently in vogue because of touchscreen point of sale systems. I have plenty of neurotic millennial tendencies, but I usually only see older generations complain about the tip screen. If I don't think I should tip for buying a candy bar then I won't. Is there a concern that all transactions will require something that will eventually become more than a tip, like some required fee? Is it so upsetting to be presented with the number 25%? Please help me understand.
