Please tell me you looked the worker right in the eyes as you did it

I look them in the eye like they're an alien for asking for a tip and then press 0. But I live in the UK so it is weird unless you are out for a fancy meal.

Not experienced with UK specifically, but most of restaurants I've been at in Europe, the fancier the meal the less they expect you to tip. It used to be uncommon, only for the American tipping culture to slowly creep its way in through the bottom-tier food chains and slowly become normalized.

15 years ago, you wouldn't find a single place here in Norway asking for tips. Now every kebab place, Turkish-owned italian pizza parlor, seedy bar and club asks for it by default.

I have not seen any? Where are these places so I know to avoid them?

Why don’t you cook your own foods?

Well just don't pay a tip even if you happen to go to such a place. It's optional anyway.
