I am not even old and remember tips meant appreciation of service rendered.

Now tips are requested upon payment before service rendered. In front of workers and next customers. Minimum wage subsidies passed on to the consumer through social coercion, and maybe some insurance that nobody will spit in your coffee after you pay (but do the barista and the cook actually know how much you tipped?)

Yes notes can always be added on tickets and I know for a fact that a lot of people at the pos put it in.
