The growth in tip asks really has less to do with tip culture than sneaky profiteering. It came from the point of sale services and the addition of the iPad payment methods. Square and the other services purposefully added the tip option to all sales to get additional percentage revenue. They take a little bite out of every transaction as a processing fee and realized if they add tipping to each one they increased that take. It’s just another nibble just like PayPal fees.
I believe depending on the service contract stores have no option to remove the tip ask. Never feel guilty in a non-service transaction to say no is my belief.
