From other conversations I've seen, it's super weird for the cashiers as well. The cashier at a take-out restaurant knows that a tip isn't expected, but now they have to stand there and smile while yet another customer gets mad about it.
For what it's worth I don't think anyone is upset when you use the custom option and put in 0% if that were the norm five years ago.

The card reader companies get a percentage even of the tips. If they can manipulate you into tipping 15% instead of 10% they win.
Most around here prefer cash, because the don’t have to tell the feds.
