Square users..

[Mikey P]

I was at a restaurant yesterday where the square using cashier handed me the Ipad with the app set to the Do you want to leave a tip? page, just before the signature page..

I've never had the nerve to present my Square app to my customers this was as its not customary to tip a owner of a carpet cleaning service.


But that being said, when I was using another similar app, the leave a tip feature was on the same page as the signature line and I would quite often get one.

I think for my guy's benefit, who most certainly deserve a tip more than I, it would be nice to have the option to put the request on the same page...

 

[Mikey P]

Oh look...


I wonder what separate screen means..

 

[Mikey P]

Derf..

I’m glad we had this moment together

 

[jcooper]

Hmmmmm, that's what it looks like with tip added.

My iphone square app has always defaulted to option of leaving a tip.

I'm with you. When I go to get my morning coffee at the local drive thru they hand me that damn tablet. It really annoys me. I also use Square and I have to do the same thing to my customers. I feel really uncomfortable doing that because it seems like i'm begging for a tip. The Square app on my phone doesn't give me a choice to turn the "Tip" begging feature off when I go for their signature.

The only gratuity I want as an O/O, is for my clients to call me back in 6-12 months, every year....

And that the check clears.

I guess it's tip to be square.

I have my tip setting disabled. I figure if they want to give me a tip they will reach for the spare change in their purse or tell me to make it for more.

How do you disable it? Guess I need to play with it.

 

[Mike Draper]

Yeah, mine is disabled as well. I dont feel comfortable putting that tip screen on as an owner / op. I’m a very giving tipper when it comes to eating out and having a waiter / waitress. That being said, if I’m ordering a bagel from the cashier, I’m not going to give them a tip becuase they took a 10 second order. Personally, I think its tacky. Just my opinion.

Open up the app, go to settings, then tipping and cut it off.

[Mikey P]

Ill be honest, I'm so grossly undercharging here in NV for my level of *retentiveness, many are tipping me regardless off the app.

I feel good about it.


On the other hand, in Scruz we have to charge too much for me to take tips comfortably when I was on that truck.

My guys on the other hand do ok wht tips and I hope this app switch helps..

 

[Old Coastie]

I use square. It just asks how much and what numbers. No tip.

 

[Nomad74]

I don’t have issues with employees getting tips. It makes you look good and is confirmation that your employees are doing a great job. As for the owner being tipped, it makes me uncomfortable, especially when asked for on the app.

I didn’t know we could turn it off. Thanks for that Tip


I know that was corny.

Like a restaurant server, I pay half of minimum wage, so Jon depends on those tips to feed his family.

 

[sassyotto]

I knew a cleaner years ago (before we had apps) that actually had a *Tip*line item on his invoice. He was an owner/operator.

That's guts.

 

[BIG WOOD]

The only Tip I personally ask for, is a review to my business If they're fully satisfied with my services. That takes the money out of the equation.

You better be joking.

 

[Mikey P]

You better be joking.

No chit, please clarify..

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Someone's sarcasm detector failed...

 

[Jim Martin]

I had a client call and demand his 20 dollar tip to be returned...when he realized I was the owner he wanted it back...apparently he did not feel that owners are allowed to get tipped....the guy has turned out to be a pretty good client...I have cleaned his place another time after that and he has referred me to 2 different clients...

You just don't get his humor I guess. Lee is hilarious!

Yup

Funny topic. I emailed an invoice to a regular customer through HCP. I'm pretty sure HCP just added the tip line on the email invoice function. The bill was for 442 , and she picked the 10 percent for a tip of 44 bucks. It works!
