The discussion around why tips are an expected or “required” part of this transaction is another story. B

No, it's the same story. The reason there's a tip economy is because there's no pushback against it. We have allowed tipping to be expected for PICKUP ORDERS because we haven't punished businesses for trying to subsidize paying their employees.

The best tactic of all for changing this culture would be to not buy from places that expect tips, put them out of business... but why does that seem less socially frowned-upon than just not using the tip button?
