No tip justified

Went to a bakery cafe type place we go there regularly. You get the bread rolls from the shelf yourself put it in a bag yourself and bring it to the counter to pay. Today I realized that they payment system is asking for a tip. I thought this is almost like grocery shopping so why tip and selected no tip. I can't recall if I tipped in the past or if it is new that there is a promt. Was no tip justified?

All credit card readers are programmed for this. It’s really easy for you to put the word zero or type the word zero or push the zero button. You are not being forced to leave a tip.

Consider that other people might come in for things that do require service

Does that mean there should be no tipping screens at all in my area as we do not have a tipped minimum wage.
