Unwarrented Tips of the Iceberg Lettuce

Ok, so I don't know if you've been out to eat or grabbed burgers or the like lately, but EVERYWHERE, all receipts now ask for a tip...

You go to get Chinese take out, they ask you for a tip... You order pizza and pick it up YOUR SELF, they ask for a tip. You leave a tip for your waiter in a restaurant and go to pay up front.... And they ask you for a tip!!!

Starbucks also asks for tips when they make your $4 coffee... Bartenders want tips on $5 mixed drinks and $4 shots...

If you are ringing me up, that is not a service! You deserve no tip!

You are making one drink. That's what you do. You are not walking over to my table and checking on my wants every few minutes, your one function (which I already paid for) does not warrant a tip!

It makes me think of the Lifehack fails, where they said you should pay $20 to the bartender so they give you good service. But this is implying that waiters and bartenders should refuse to be good at their job unless you bribe them in addition to the salary they're already getting paid by their establishment. This is very weird. As opposed to simply good service, which will inspire you to want to tip them anyway.

If I tip a pizza delivery boy, why the hell would I tip the lady working the register when I go pick the pizza up myself?

And how do I evaluate how good of a job they did pressing two buttons?? 10% or 20%?
