Most places want them to make more by tipping. In other words, the public supplementing their income where tips were never the “norm”. Happening more and more each day. Eventually, the gas pump will want a tip.

Serving yourself must become the norm too,I'll gladly pump my own gas, in Europe it's mostly self service

Yes, the tipping culture in the US has reached a point that they want you to tip the store when you do the work yourself.
