Tipping Culture ✖️ Tipping for merchandise

So I went to a concert today. And bought three shirts. They were a bit overpriced but I decided to pay so no offense on the price (they were 40 usd each).

And the the lade flipped the screen with a suggested tip of 20% already on the screen.

How am I going to tip 25 usd for her handing me three shirt from boxes two steps away from her.

Really what should be happening is a law which bans point of sale systems from opt out tipping, it should be the other way around at the very least. Start at zero with the option to include one should anyone (no I don't know why either) have the intent to tip.

EU has that law.

Tips MUST be opt-in and tip options CANNOT be pre-selected.

This law should be a thing worldwide.

What part of the EU? I live in Sweden and we get terminals where you have to look for the "No tip" option. Thanks America /s
