This meme isn’t implying that it’s unusual to pump your own gas. It’s implying that tipping culture in the US is progressing to the point of asking you to tip when you didn’t receive a service performed by anyone since you did it yourself.
Self service is the default for most of the US. New Jersey and (I think) Oregon require full service gas stations though.
Personally I’ll tip 10% or less if its an establishment that shouldn’t be asking for a tip, and 20% for an actual tipped profession. More ideally tipping will be phased out because these POS systems are letting it really get out of hand

I think Oregon got rid of that law last year… New Jersey still has it though

we have started carrying cash just to avoid the tip screen at places like this…

I think you’re part of the problem dude, tipping 10% when they shouldn’t be asking for tips means that it’s worth it to them to now ask for tips.
I see it as I’d rather give a meager tip than no tip if I incorrectly identify whether or not I should be giving a tip
Oh, I see. Yeah the wording is weird in that case, “forced” to pump your own gas
