I had this reaction too, but then I heard a NPR segment where the interviewee mentioned that often times counter tip money doesn't go to the workers. So it's basically just the business asking you for more money than the posted price. After hearing that it became easier to not leave a tip at the cash register.

Just the word tip doesn't mean anything
