I'm sorry, if I'm buying a $4k machine the last thing I want to see is a tip % option. I'm all for them to make more money and have better conditions but no way this crap.

@paul Tip for what? Are we supposed to tip in every retail encounter now? I know everywhere that uses Square, when they flip that iPad over they’re presenting a default tip, but I didn’t expect it at Apple.
If they want a tip they’ll have to be faster than the two hours it took to buy a new iPhone the other week.
