How well does iOS really work as a kiosk when your customers might interact with it, possibly unattended? I know I've seen many iPads in such a situation where they go on a lock screen and ask for a passcode, or you can hit Home and go to Springboard to open some apps or change settings, or at one point I had it pop up a prompt to update the major version of iOS and I hit "yes" and it seemed quite busy working on that upgrade .... I guess there is "Guided Access Mode", but I literally just learned about it googling for this question, and it would seem a lot of people don't know about it.

usually it's the employee using the ipad and they'd only hand it to the customer to sign the receipt and tip. But the customer can totally screw with it if they felt like a jerk I guess.

Some "real" payment terminals are also suspectible to customer misuse. There have been many cases of customers issuing "refunds" of thousands of euros to themselves when they were supposed to be inputting their PIN - easier if the terminal is out of sight of the seller - e.g. in a car at a drive-in: (all in Finnish) https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-9966606 https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-9966606 https://www.is.fi/tampereen-seutu/art-2000006461066.html https://www.is.fi/tampereen-seutu/art-2000006461066.html https://mikkeli.datagroup.fi/fi/asiakkaille/blogi/haikailematon-petos-yleistyy-valvo-maksupaatteen-kayttoa https://mikkeli.datagroup.fi/fi/asiakkaille/blogi/haikailema... https://www.is.fi/digitoday/tietoturva/art-2000005178637.html https://www.is.fi/digitoday/tietoturva/art-2000005178637.htm...
