Just learned that a friend of mine always tips 10% on takeout. Ive never tipped on takeout unless they offered me a water/soda while I waited or something.
US biased, but I’m a little curious about other countries as well.

I just assume that the tipping screen is built into the POS (cash register) software. It doesn’t know if this is a tip appropriate business, so it just asks for one.
They surely wouldn’t complain if you did, but I don’t think that any of those places are trying to manipulate people into tipping through their cash out screen prompts.
As a business owner that has used several different POS systems, I can tell you that they are choosing to have you see the tip prompt. I have never seen a system that didn’t have tipping as an option that can be turned on or off. However, it is usually set to on as default.
I have no doubt that you are completely correct.
But, as someone who has used various POS at various companies, I can tell you that nobody ever changes the defaults. 😂
Sadly this is very true haha
