Yea, we can process 4 different tax rates, and always list them separately.
The exception is in locations where tax is included in the price: bars that take a lot of cash tend to want to make everything even dollars, or quarters at the most, so that bartenders don’t have to make a lot of change, and can work quickly.
In these situations, we have to do the calculation backwards after the fact, but it’s still tracked as a separate tax in software.
I’m an owner, so make many decisions (but I also have smart employees who’s opinions I trust very much).
This is a tough one to deal with, especially with smaller Android based handheld devices. In the 5" to 6" range we can get a few different things (wholesale costs):
You can guess which ones we sell the most of. Especially since they tend to get dropped, or lost quite a bit (we’re in the restaurant POS business).
For the stationary (15" Android) terminals, the situation is similar. But we sell these devices more than the handhelds, and after a few installs with well made but slower hardware, my tech lead ruled out offering the cheaper ones in favor of selling the ones with better specs, so that’s where we are now.
But lots of our competitors give hardware away to get the credit card processing revenue (a total rip off for the customer, but it’s the nature of the game), so they use the cheapest option.
I write POS software, and have written tax calculations that cover about 30 states, and several CA provinces.
While we do have to round (always up) when calculating sales tax, there’s no way for the business to figure out how much that rounding would be, since it’s just added to the tax collected.
And in all states that I’ve worked with, a business has to pay what they collected (even if they over collect), and can’t just calculate a percentage of total sales (since many states have tax tables, rounding rules, or 3-4 decimal tax rates, and not a flat percentage tax).
So it’s actually the government that gets the benefit of the rounding.
My last job paid 1st and 15th . And the company i own now does the same.
I find budgeting much simpler than with a bi-weekly paycheck.
Any QMK based board that supports VIA should work, since the macros and key bindings are stored on the board, and you can use a browser to configure it (even if you have to configure it on another machine, and swap back to the Steam Deck).
Alternatively, I believe that Solaar is available in Discover Store for Steam Deck, and that would allow you to configure Logi devices (but I don’t have any personal experience with this yet).
Currently using a Keychron Q5, paid about $230.

Not sure what yet, but there’s a lot of classic conversions happening, and Ford sells a e crate motor now.
