Anybody else find it really weird that the guy ringing you up on the handheld device asks how much of a tip would you like to leave? Am I a dick for not leaving one?

I guess you can’t hate the guy for asking but you certainly aren’t a dick for saying no.
McDonalds made over a billion dollar increase in sales by asking if you’d like to super size your meal to large fries and a drink. It works. Sales 101

It was awkard as hell, he didn't ask if I wanted to leave one...he asked how much would I like to add.

It's self-serve so the guy doesn't get your food or drinks for you. And you pay with a credit card so he doesn't even make change.

He's basically just there to make sure you pay and don't just steal your food and Cokes.

Why should he get a tip?

No you aren't a dick and this has become common in all kinds of random places.

The girl who rang me up set it at 0% before I had the chance to try to tip. I’m assuming that’s what they’re told to do

That's different, in one scenario your getting more awesome fries, in the other situation it means I pay more for nothing and it goes to a person just doing the job they're already paid to do. When I bagged groceries as a teen, if someone wanted to tip great, if they didn't I sure didn't ask. If someone wants to ask "IF you'd like to tip" that'd be better "How much would you like to tip" is pushy and kinda rude

If this is true I would have been tempted to tell him to frick off.

Tip culture is dumb.

I'd rather the prices reflect what a business needs to properly compensate their employees.

It doesn't (at Alex Box). When you pick up the nachos, you can pick up a little packet of jalapeños if you want.

It's commonplace nowadays and it's stupid.

Literally everywhere asks for a tip these days. It’s alway weird putting no tip when you know they are watching you to see if you tip
