Even for establishments that do pay more... so many fast food/takeout places have tipping on their checkout process now. Starbucks in my city, as an example, pays a baseline well above most similar positions in the area, but they still expect tips above and beyond.

I don't blame someone for wanting and accepting more... It just feels weird to tip when the service is baseline, vs say a waitress where they take your order, bring drinks, refills, corrections, additions, etc. and generally with a pleasant personality.
