It's gotten rather absurd. If my interaction is with a kiosk short of being handed something, it's an insulting extra step. I'm already paying the price for my employer's pay scale ... I can't take on someone else's stinginess.

Yeah, I feel like the offense at the mere idea of a tip comes from the same place as people who get upset when they misgender me and I gently correct them. Or like, people who will call for a cab ride and then literally apologize the whole way because they somehow feel like me driving (which I like to do) is putting me out.

If people didn't put so much emphasis on having to be perfect all the time, they'd probably be a lot less horrible when they don't meet their own standards.
