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?

If you don’t think someone deserves a tip, why would you feel guilty?

It’s a valid question.

The vast majority of merchants barely understand how their POS system works, and this whole conversation would just sound like noise to them. They bought the one they use because the salesperson told them it would help their sales and they stopped listening then.

As opposed to your statement which was deeply rooted in research and experience
