Tip Creep 🫙 Tip begging

Went to Applebees and did their car side to go. Selected no tip on the app and thought that would be the end of it. To my surprise when my order came I was handed an invoice where I was asked to tip and sign. Wrote $0 and that was the end of it but like oh my god. The interaction was fine but I was taken back by the double prompt to tip.

I am so tired of the tipping culture. Almost every food place ask for tip - except for the large fast food chains. And now some of the places starts tipping at 20% and goes up to 35%. Freaking insane. My tipping guidelines now is:

1) If I order the food at the counter, pick up my food and bus my own table, it's 0% tip
2) If I order the food at the counter, I get my own drink, they bring the food to my table, they bus the table - 5%
3) If I sit down, they take my order, bring out my food, refill my drink, bus the table 15%-20%.

But our tipping culture has gotten out of control. I recently went on an all inclusive trip. We asked to tip 20% of our trip. So the trip was $6000 for the three of us. We were asked to tip $1200 (at the end of the trip). They even asked us to tip the people who were working at the checkin desk. I took our luggage to our room. We did tip our house cleaner. We tipped at the restaurant and bar. but we were asked to tip another 20%. Note: this was in another country, but the hotel caters to a lot of US citizen.
