@Graeme its getting pretty out of hand in Canada, default tip option at the liquor store is 18%, 20% and 25%, everywhere from Subway to Starbucks to Bakeries have tip options here now and it's usually either 15, 20, 25 or even in some cases its 20, 25, 30.
Everyone says its because Square and Toast don't give the option to skip it, but I have had food where they use Square and they offer way lower tip options. I do wonder if you tip at a liquor store or whatever, where does that money go? It always feels to me they are just asking me "are you willing to pay more for what your buying?" when I see the option and received 0 assistance or anything.

@Giles yeah, they are basically just preying on people who dont want to hit no tip, they have this giant ipad where you touch one of the three buttons or you hit no tip and they are standing there looking at you, I imagine the employees dont expect it or care but the whole setup is just uncomfortable and alot of people end up tipping.
The whole other crazy thing is that the preset tip options include the tax in the calculation, so your tipping on the sales tax as well, small amount but really adds up after years.
CBC has done alot of content about it but this is the most recent:

@Ikeaparty I hate the “Screen Pressure” especially in establishments where the transaction consists of you taking something off a shelf and then going up to the register to pay for it. I just hit No and don’t feel bad about it.
