Yeah that's when I'm hitting cancel.
Usually it isn't the store pushing this, but Square itself. They take a percentage of each transaction so they naturally want to make the charges as high as possible.

Yeah, we make POS systems and were asked for tipping functionality on the card machines as soon as we started selling to restaurants.
Recently we also added it so you can record cash tips as well, rather than them just being pocketed. Optimistically, this is so it can be shared more equally between staff rather than just giving it to the pretty girl who takes your money. Realistically, the owner is probably taking the lion's share.
