Why Tipping Is So Out Of Control In The U.S.

Tipping in the United States is on the rise and experts are calling it tipflation. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the number of tips provided at full-service restaurants grew by 17% from the fourth quarter of 2021. Meanwhile the tip frequency at quick-service restaurants rose 16% during the same time period. Experts say that's because of the newer and sleeker-looking Point-of-Sale, or POS, systems by tech companies like Square, Toast and Clover, who also have increased their sales as a result. The pressure to tip well in front of the tip receiver, before a service is completed, or in front of other customers makes a difference for many. After customers swipe their credit card, they're typically prompted with three large tipping options on a screen. While businesses can opt out of the tipping feature, most aren't. In fact, even Starbucks started prompting customers for tips in stores in September 2022. With Americans being pressured to tip higher percentages and for more services, the question is, where is the tipping point?

_IF_ the server did a good job, they would get better tips. I spent *YEARS* in the food-service industry. I've seen the most lazy, nasty servers make huuuuge bucks because customers were shamed into tipping. That needs to change! We need to bring back stiffing for servers who are not prompt, servers who are not courteous and servers who deliver bad food.

@simpleanswer8954 Жыл бұрын

You're bothered that people raised in a particular culture expect that culture? Those servers were born and raised in a society that considers those jobs that receive tips. Of course they expect that, they've been seeing it their entire lives. Even before they ever had a job at a restaurant they saw servers getting tips. It's what they were taught to expect. What bothers ME is all the selfish jerks who want to blame the servers for adapting to the culture they were raised in. Somehow at least 156 other people are self centered enough that they can't empathize with another person. It's always a shame to see people get self righteous while also being completely self centered and oblivious to the problem.

People say we should tip them because they aren’t paid enough by their employers. Then, how come we don’t tip teachers, cashiers, front desk employees and others, who don’t get paid enough? Tipping should be an expression of gratitude for an exceptional beyond and above service and absolutely voluntary and never obligatory.

This Tipping and asking to add a donation at the POS terminal has annoyed me for years. I was unaware that Washington State required all employees to be paid the State Minimum Wage now which is $20 in the Seattle area. So now that I have learned this, I will not be tipping. If I want pizza or takeout I will go pick it up and pay with cash, so my purchase is not tracked and a customer profile is not so easily built. I encourage others to do this too as this culture has gotten out of hand. If you want to make the money of a highly skilled or professional person, then take the time to get that degree or professional accreditation. I am not required to subsidize your income because you chose a less skilled job. I am all about fairness of opportunity, not fairness of financial outcome. I do not get tipped for being an engineer, I get to keep my job, and I earn the respect of my colleagues and employer. Enough is Enough!

@amber-dk5ud 25 күн бұрын

Generally speaking, the employees who are asking for a tip aren't paid even near what a teacher is. And that's saying something, because boy oh boy, teachers do not make enough! I work at a Sonic (fast food resteraunt) and our carhops (those who ring up and take out orders) are paid $4/h. That means they're only making $32 (excluding taxes) for a full 8 hour shift, or $160 for a full 40-hour week. They rely on tips just to eat. Which, of course, isn't the fault of the consumer- it's the fault of the company. I think it's crazy they're allowed to pay that little- especially since these are fast food servers, NOT true waiters/waitresses. Especially since they also have to do in-store tasks like cleaning, and making drink/ice-cream items- even helping out in the kitchen sometimes.

@@Hirotoro4692 Unless your service was astonishingly terrible and the waiter was extremely rude, you should always tip at a sit down restaurant because waiters only make about $2.50 per hour. This is WAY below minimum wage required at any other job, they literally rely on tips to live. If the food takes awhile it's the cooks fault, not the waiter's. Yes it's a messed up way of paying employees but you cant change it. You explain your problem to a manager and they will likely take money off your bill, or give you the whole meal for free. But you have to tip a waiter. If you let their boss know thats how to deal with it. Anyway everywhere else tipping is not required, it's optional. Just dine in restaurants.

I worked in a tip dependant job for over ten years . Some people tipped ,some did not ; some were generous , some mean. I found it best to never expect anything, and that way sometimes I was happily surprised . I also found that it is best to look at what you made overall at the end of the month ( including tips ) . It is no good thinking everyone should tip or that some are mean. Also recently I had a sprinkler repair done at my home , and later was sent the bill to pay online . The bill was $500.00 and suggested tips were 15%, 20% and 25% . I added 20% . ordinarily maybe I would have left zilch , however , the employee was out working in 117 degrees ( Phoenix ) and he did a great job . I hope he appreciated the 100 bux tip , and the company themselves didn't stitch him up . Ultimately though I ant help feeling tipping is getting out of hand

I visited the US for the first time in my life in 2021 and a second time in 2023. The first time, a local friend of mine, his fiance and I visited a restaurant in Salem, MA. We had clam chowder and some other things, which were actually pretty good. I was invited, but I noticed that my friend left "only" $5 as a tip. I say "only", because after leaving, our waiter went out of his way to follow us out of the restaurant and shout over the street: "We usually expect tips of 20-25% here!" All while waving the $5 bill in his hand. That was pretty crazy. I'm danish-japanese and I live in Germany. Denmark and Germany have tips, too. And it also feels kinda expected at times, but the tips are nowhere near as high. In Japan, tipping is rude, as good service is part of the product or service you're purchasing. I pretty much settled with only tipping if the service was exceptional. I'm not willing to pay your wage that your boss should be paying you. Especially if you didn't do anything else besides filling a cup or handing me some food. Sorry, not sorry! These days, prices for food and services have skyrocketed, up to the point that I rarely eat out instead of cooking and hell no, I won't pay 20-25% of the bill on top of that. lmao.

Your more likely to get good service or at least a quality worker that just might be doing the job of 2 people due to tips. If you constantly get horrible service, maybe it's easy to see you're a non tipper or you just miserable or maybe just funny looking and they don't want your money anyways, but they provide services in hopes of getting you out of there quickly, so they can get a tipper next.

That's a double edged sword. We order via Ubereats maybe once a week. Mainly a dessert on a Saturday evening. I usually set the original tip amount low. The driver has the option to accept it or not. If I feel the service was above my "mental bar", I have the option to tip more within an hour of delivery. I'm honest.... After working all week, I'm way too lazy to go get something. So this person is driving to get my stuff, probably waiting for it, then delivering it to my door step. All because I don't feel like going to get it. If it arrives in a timely manner and I see they took precautions like using an insulated bag..... Yeah, I'll boost that tip and they will get a nice surprise in an hour. But again, I don't feel "pressured" into it like these stores are now doing.

Uber and doordash drivers have the choice to take the order or Decline the order when it pops up. Which is why they ask to tip first. Each order only pays 2 dollars by the company so Most people skip orders with no tip or less tip. With gas being so expensive 2 dollars to picking up, drive and deliver while spending gas is not worth it. Especially sometimes it takes forever for the restaurant to have your order ready. The non tip orders then go to combined orders or drivers who need to boost their acceptance score. Pretty much if you want your food fast tip.

"You're being guilted into tipping on something that's not a service. It's someone simply doing their job." This is absolutely true. I hate that companies are prompting customers for a tip when you went to the physical location and got what you ordered. It's not a tip when you are doing what you are hired to do. And as long as companies are able to guilt customers to foot the bill to cover their employees living, nothing will change.

My wife and I pretty much started doing our own “date night” cooking at the start of the pandemic. We discovered working together in the kitchen helped build the experience of intimacy. It also improved our cooking. Although we occasionally eat at a restaurant, having to choose between 18, 22 and 25% tip for service no better than when it was 15%, for food which is also no better than it was - and more expensive - has led us to eat out less. So even though I sometimes pay the 18%, I spend much less money in tips than before as I no longer go into the restaurant in the first place.

European visiting America recently. I went to an Amtrak train station with my disabled child in a wheelchair - immediately a very helpful red coat person ran up to us and took the wheelchair and wheeled us the whole way to our train. Just as we lifted the wheelchair up the steps he basically stuck his hand out. That was the worst example of many others over a few weeks, where having a wheelchair was an absolute burden as you had service workers run to help you without asking, and then having the social awkwardness of feeling obliged to pay them. What an awful way to run society, making everyone cynical of each other's motives. Helping other people should mostly not have an immediate and expected pay off.

That is why you tip your servers, bellman, valet, and bartenders. I have personally worked as a bellman before. I was able to use my average tip amount to see if the service I was providing was good enough. It was an incentive to provide good service. And no, don't think it was the hotel not paying enough. We got a free, high quality food, good breaks, and got paid over minimum wage.

Its especially bad when the restaurant adds a automatic gratuity charge for less than a large group, then complain you didn't tip. One place I went to added 20% automatic gratuity then had the nerve to add in "Add Additional Tip" with suggestions in the 15%+ range. So if you weren't paying attention, you would literally put in a 40% tip because you are used to paying 20% at restaurants (assuming you usually tip that much that is). BTW, they added the automatic gratuity for 2 person table AND calculated the tip based on Total not Subtotal. Edit: Its probably even higher since the automatic gratuity is included in the total, therefore the suggested "additional tip" is actually even higher.

The worst thing is that Americans travel to other countries where tipping is not expected yet they tip anyway and are now habituating the locals to expect tips from foreigners.

I asked the cashier about it and was told it was not necessary and not expected. He confirmed the servers were paid a full wage with benefits and did not expect tips. My friend guilted me into tipping anyway. Tipping used to be a sign the customer appreciated a service that went above and beyond what is expected. Nowadays it is there, as a matter of fact, systematically, to supplement the worker’s meager salary that the employer can’t afford or doesn’t want to pay his or her employees. We are all subsidizing business owners for their lack of ethics and accountability towards their employees. In some cases, business owners cannot afford to pay their employees more, I get it, and at some point we need to take a hard look at our priorities as a capitalistic society and treat employees with more dignity. I understand this is not as simple as it sounds but other countries manage, so we should too.

I had something somewhat similar happen at Sally Beauty last month. I bought $14 worth of product, and when the option to tip $1, $2 or $3 popped up on the screen, the employee apologized and cleared it out. I'm used to that at live music merch stands, and between that and my LMT sister I've learned that unless there's a cash tip jar, employees only see a small fraction of the amount. Same principle applies to most sit down restaurants, and I ALWAYS leave a cash tip

I'm from Germany, we have a tipping culture, but it's basically only in actual restaurants with service, hair dressers, taxi drivers, stuff like that. And it's more like 5-10% and not really required. Anyway, when I was visiting the US and they showed a "tip tablet" in my face at an ice cream place, I was utterly shocked. It's absurd how they hide the "no tip" button as well. I'm sorry, but I won't tip for Ice Cream or a Smoothie, that was overpriced to begin with.

I went to a local fish grill next to where I work not too long ago. It's a fast casual kind of place. They have two large kiosks where you place your own order. They had an employee posted watching what you were doing on the kiosks. It kind of felt like someone standing over you while you were using the atm. He was standing so close that you could see his face in the reflection of the screen, eyeing everything you were doing. He would also tell everyone dont forget to answer the question at the end when they were about to checkout, which was, of course, asking for a tip. The suggested tip amount started at 20%, and there was no explicit option not to tip. You had to select custom and select zero-which is what I did. This crap is getting so out of hand. I've gotten to the point that I just bring a little cash everywhere so I dont have to go through this song and dance just to buy food. On top of that, I go out very infrequently to eat now because it's already expensive as it is, and tipping when no service is involved makes it that much worse.

Glad to see so many other people ticked about this. I'd love it if the US stopped tipping altogether. It used to have a reason, now it's just greed. I'm tired of going to pick up food and being asked to tip, or tipping because someone poured a cup of coffee. I'm not sure why I'm required to tip people who make more money than I do. Am I supposed to tip the owner of a business, like a masseuse or hairdresser? Shouldn't they just charge what they expect you to pay? I never had a problem with tipping before it became so prolific. Now, I'd rather stay home and eat, which is generally faster and healthier. I got a nice massage chair, so,, now I get massages every day. Too bad I can't cut my own hair.
