The moment they ask for a tip they are not getting anything nor a repeat customer.

Presenting the possibility to tip on the screen is ok, I think. The tone (and from my European perspective the percentages) is, what I find weird.
I agree, the %s are too high, and there should be a "no tip" option there (even though you should tip here especially full service but not counter service), but also the "30% soso?!" Even I'm not tipping this one.
I frequent a bagel place that automatically adds a fairly hefty (not THAT hefty) tip when you pre-order online for in-store pickup.
If not for the fact that they are by far the best place to go for bagels in my area (we have few choices), that alone would stop me from ordering.
Their bagels are good, and I'm not above tipping at a bagel place. But their prices are already very high for a bagel place (they know what they got), they do brisk business, and they should damn well be paying their employees more rather than trying to sneak a 25% tip into every online order. It doesn't even present it as in OP - it's just there in the itemization in the end and you need to manually edit it out before ordering.
Edt - oh and if real, I ain't never going back to the place in OP after seeing that one time.

I know tipping culture is extreme, but I've never seen 100%. I don't think this is real.
I can't find the original image, it's just been reshared dozens of times on Xitter, Threads, Facebook and Reddit, but nobody is adding context or naming and shaming.
So yeah, probably just ragebait.

Especially labelling 30% "soso" and 40% "ok". Unless they are bussing my tables, they get 0%. Otherwise it's 15-20.

Select "Custom" and type 0.00 without breaking eye contact. Be careful, though, that 0.00 can quickly turn into 8.88 if you're not looking.

This was at a self-service kiosk, too, right?
That means the tip goes to the customer, right?
/s
10-15% IF you went above and beyond or performed particularly well. It's a tip, I am not your employer. I used to be a huge tipper until I realized just how fucked that whole system is. Also, NEVER PRE-TIP. That is insane!

Maybe the restaurants should pay their employees so customers don't have to pay them? I know it's a radical thought.

Back when 15% was considered standard I liked tipping closer to 30%, but as a direct result of the push to try to make 15% seem low I no longer tip more than 15%.

Avoid joints that's "require" tipping.
Deny the parasite profit.
