If they have a problem with it then I will gradually remove pieces until they’re okay. But I haven’t had to do this the few times I’ve used this tactic – it causes issues with automated scans but eventually some human manually reviews it and says it’s okay.
What I don’t like is the “live verification” apps that leave me no choice but to take a photo of it.
