I have no problem tipping wait staff or bartenders for the service, but I'll be damned if the cashier at my local Chinese restaurant is getting a tip because they handed me a bag of carryout food I ordered online... tipping has definitely gotten out of control.

I partially blame the POS programmers that have that option for the take out counter, then especially so for the managers that implement it

Tip functionality is a business decision that comes from the top. The Devs have no say in whether a feature is included or not, and dislike it as much as you do.

Oh for sure, I was talking more of the small independent shops, but I probably should've specified owners instead of managers

If you're serving me alcohol (or something similar) at a bar, you get $1 per drink. If you're taking my order at a table and bringing me food, you get 15%. That's it.
