People shouldn't have to be harassed by companies constantly begging them to subsidize their labor expenses and customers shouldn't have to worry that they're getting bad service (or worse) in retaliation for hitting the "No Tip" button.
I'm sure as hell not tipping for counter service or for retail transactions, but they keep begging for it. As more and more people fall for the scam there's a risk that it will become expected and suddenly I'm the asshole for not paying more for nothing. Good luck explaining to someone making minimum wage that the person they should really be upset at is their employer who refuses to pay them a living wage.
Yeah but it amounts to bad service, and typically this aren't essential services that can't be replaced. If everyone does this then they should adjust accordingly or just go out of business.
