Negative Modifer

I see there has been many requests made for negative modifiers (as far back as 2016). I want to add another request for this. I dont know why its so hard to program a negative mathematical calculation in the software. I have several variations of my sandwiches and i want to add a 'half size' modifier that would discount a specific percent or dollar value. Yes, i could go in and create 8 more variations, but that just adds clutter, wastes time, and would be unnecessary if you would just allow us to do negative amounts. This is just my use case and i have read many others, if you will not make this possible, at least tell us why. Not addressing your customers when you will not make a change for 5+ years is why people leave to use other services.

I desperately need modifers that work as negatives!  Is there an alternative method that people are using to get around this? We have tried using a discount of a variable dollar amount, but that makes a terrible mess of the receipts as it deducts a small amount from each item on the receipt rather than a single dollar discount on the bottom of the receipt.

Double yes to the part of a discount making a mess of things.  Please fix this Square, why can’t a discount be applied to a specific item instead of the item entire sale. 

Great news! They have finally rolled out negative modifiers!

I wasn't notified even though I'd posted here previously so just thought I'd drop a comment in case it helps anyone, cheers.

HOLYMOLY!!!!

Thanks SO much for bringing this to my attention.  How big an impact on such small change.

This is amazing!!! Thank you for sharing the info as I had no idea they had made the change to allow it!

FINALLY

You all should really use the "what's new" tab in your dashboard or follow the feature releases forum as they are releasing great new features every two weeks or so. The negative modifiers was released in June! Lots of other great features that I'm sure most of you could use as well.
