Restaurants when they expect a 40% tip after you drive to the store for pickup

The debit machine is preprogrammed. Stop looking for problems where they don't exist.

You can reprogram it to not do that.

A sandwich shop that is only every a pick up counter (not even seating if you wanted to) that has not only a point of sale equipment declaring expected tip (no, point of sale equipment doesn't lock the operator into demand a tip mode, the operator chooses it), but also a tip jar.

Even if, somehow, it were the case that operators were locked into nagging for tip for some bizarre reason, it would still be a problem.

Maybe one day we have the technology for a second button. You should've tipped the programmer

Or should the customer get the tip for doing the work running around with an order? That's a question for the future.
