International fans visiting the US for the World Cup have become frustrated by the culture of having to tip servers, telling the BBC that tipping fatigue has set in.
It’s kinda insane to me how successful tip propaganda is. 20%??
My whole life, 15% was considered a top tier tip. Prices have gone up on everything across the board, but tips are a percentage meaning 15% is still more money than it was twenty years ago, so why in the fuck has it gone from 15% for a great tip to 20% as a minimum?? So not only are prices higher, you want a higher cut of that higher price?? Insane.
People are stupid and that’s why it’s done what it has.
I hate when I walk to a counter, order something then the machine is programmed to ask for a tip. Fuck everything about that. Hate hate tipping culture to begin with.

Once again 20% was the norm in 2001 when I was doing that job. It has not creeped up. It hasn’t changed in nearly 30 years.
I don’t know what job or where in the country you were, but 20% was never the norm my whole life going back to the 90s.
It’s been creeping up too, 20% is now the offered minimum but I’ve seen the options go up to 30% at least

Pay has gone up less than prices. That’s why tip percentage has gone up.
Most people’s haven’t; why am I further subsidizing the restaurant’s payroll??
Because you’re choosing to go to restaurants that use the tipping model. Choose to go to ones that do not, EZPZ.
BUT IM ENTITLED TO SOMEONE SERVING MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! You’re wanting me to go to an establishment of poors!
