If a place tries to pressure me into a high tip, I lean below what I would have tipped.

So for counter service I would normally tip 10% (20% for table service) but if the machine defaults to 25% for counter service I'm going down to 5%.

That's the correct response. The "good" service you may have received has been ruined by excessive tip demand so the service is now "bad" and deserves smaller or 0 tip. Pay the workers a living wage, end the slavery already.

Sorry, but if I’m standing in line to order food at a counter I’m not tipping

I was at a French bakery in Portsmouth NH this summer and I felt compelled to tip for a jar of mustard I purchased at a counter. I think this was my turning point on tipping.

If it's a place you frequent it could be the desire not to get your food spit in. Maybe not an issue at a nice french bakery but you never know
