For anything other than direct, involved service rendered, you don't have to tip. They'll ask, but it's not rude to decline

The problem is that it is increasingly being seen as rude to decline in situations where there was never any expectation of a tip before.

Business owners are configuring point-of-sale devices to prompt for tips because it's free money for them. It means they can get away with paying their employees less than they otherwise would.

Then don't be afraid to be rude. I'm not tipping a self checkout machine. If labor costs are that high, charge more for the product or service. If that means it cost too much, find another solution

You're preaching to the choir on that one, my friend. I'm middle-aged AF, so I will do what I'm gonna do and if someone thinks that's rude, oh well!
