I know someone who worked for a major POS provider and they usually ship the terminals with tipping on by default. It's up to the retailers to charge that once they receive the units.

I'm sure they are falling over backwards to do it.

I've accidently cancelled transactions trying to zero tip at take out pizza places and the like.

Hell, it's probably part of their advertising/sales pitch. i know someone working in a big chain restaurant, and management will make the most ridiculous changes. As always in the US, stupid changes are always because of money.
