  • r/ToastPOS
  • r/DollarGeneralWorkers
  • r/DollarTree
  • r/smallbusiness
  • r/WalgreensStores
  • r/HomeDepot
  • r/TalesFromYourBank

Why those fall short

  • QR has minimum amounts; cashiers refuse to break bills despite having change
  • no automatic EBT cash vs food-stamp distinction; customers ignore signs
  • no UV light or pen provided; no policy for large cash transactions
  • Terminal design allows donation selection during tap; no clear authorization step.
  • signs are not at every check stand where customers must look
