Especially post-pandemic, I've come to view those flip-around screens as an opportunity for direct, voluntary, progressive income redistribution, or price discrimination, if you like. Paying an extra couple of bucks for falafel or a slice of pizza really doesn't mean anything to me, it presumably means a good bit more to whomever's behind the Square terminal.

I've become so cynical; I assume that by the time the card processor and Silicon Valley take their cut, the employee is left with a few extra pennies. I'm way less likely to tip when I see a flip-around screen. I hate them.

  Square, et al. take 3% for CC processing.
