I just had a POS machine recommend 20%, 25%, or 30% for percentages. It seems like it's increasing

I had one do that (well, even higher, 25, 30, 35, Other) for a retailer recently. Like, it took them under 10 seconds to ring me up and they should automatically get 25%? I chose zero.

For POS they'd be much more likely to get a tip from me if the options were $0.50, $1.00, or $1.50.

The standard tip at a POS is 0. Generally the same for carry out.

If you're not getting personal service by a human, you don't need to tip.

They do it because they can get away with it and it makes money off of suckers.
