    So I guess the question is, if the checksum fails, how do you fight it? Contact the bank? The restaurant?
    Aaron Parecki
    If you want to be nice, you call the restaurant. If you want to just get your money back you file a dispute with the credit card and they usually resolve it without much hassle.

    I called the restaurant about my $5 tip that turned into $15 and they happily refunded the $10, and also sounded unsurprised about the whole situation. I'm guessing it was not the first time that happened.

    Servers hate tips that aren’t round numbers because it makes it REALLY hard to cash out at the end of the night.
    Aaron Parecki
    I thought the credit card machines make you enter the final total of the receipt when you cash out the stack of paper receipts at the end of the night. It's been a while since I've done that myself tho...

    This gets tricky when prices are either large or end in strange decimals (sales tax):

    Pre-tip bill: $81.12
    Rough tip: $16
    Pre-checksum total: $97.12
    9 + 7 = 16 (?)
    Final: $97.16 (last digit of sum = 6)

    Adjust up to $16.04 or down to $15.94? The mental math could trip people up.
    Aaron Parecki
    you write the tip amount on the receipt? I just always write the total amount.

    Really excited that Indigenous has received 74 downloads 😲 Wow. I’m sure to some, that doesn’t seem like a lot, but it does seem like a lot to me! Still working on the next updates.

    why? Unless they change it to like 100% or something wild, let em have it. Likely they need it if they go to the trouble
    Aaron Parecki
    That was a bad example. Last time this happened, my $5 tip was changed to a $15 tip.

    Started using the last digit of my restaurant bill as a checksum, cause I've had the tip amount changed on me too many times now

    Decide your rough desired tip, calculate your tentative total, then add up the digits before the decimal point and use that as the number of cents
    Aaron Parecki
    Total pre-tip bill: $15.90
    Rough tip: $3.00
    Pre-checksum total: $18.90
    1+8 = 9
    Final total: $18.99

    Now if someone changes the tip to $4 or $5, the checksum fails.

    #3 How to get correct version for composer?

    Aaron Parecki

    I'm confused about the exact problem you're having.

    If Compass' composer.lock is referencing 0.1.1, try running composer update p3k/quartz-db to get it to update that version, or change your composer.json to reference >=1.1.4.

    It sounds like that's the root of the problem, as that fix was in version 1.1.3.
