I know stores don't want their employees to be hustling the customers for tips, but sometimes customers don't like to hear "No" either.

Just a thought, but maybe it is a tax issue. Theoretically, tips are considered wages, and those wages would have to be declared on taxes. And since you are an employee of the store, and not an independent contractor, the store would have to track your tips and then report them as part of your wages. I could see that as a huge hassle.
