    I feel like this is just a lazy one system design for all. Its like subway’s question when paying with credit card. I’m not tipping them to make a sandwich, just charge more for the sandwich.

      I suspect you’re correct. It’s probably a default part of the POS system’s checkout screens, and the manager is too technologically illiterate to customize it, or too lazy.

        Nah the set up likely left this in even if it is optional precisely to socially pressure consumers into tipping.

        Sure some might just not know any better, but the fact they are so ubiquitous in situations where tipping isn’t expected broadly reeks of deliberate malfeasance.
