Tipping is for outstanding service. Not just because you work there.

I don't care what people think. From the beginning, I do not tip unless I am served by wait staff. Never have, never will.

Tipping is out of control!!!

This is why ppl should be paid a livable wage like in Europe.

Tipping is something that you want to do. But, not something some one is bulling you to do!!!

The worst is when gratuity is included and takes away the whole point of the tip. But also why is it most countries don’t tip and service workers are able to live off that wage. Employers need to make it make sense.

The amount that some stylists charge, their tip is most definitely already included. I like to tip based on the experience, not just because.

I tip only for service. It should be a choice to tip for good service and not to tip if it's poor service.

I have absolutely no problem saying NO TIP at Starbucks especially since a grande latte is now $6.45. When I go to Starbucks now I pay with cash to avoid the annoyance. If I’m at a sit down restaurant of course I tip

This is why I pay with cash and I don't tip when I walk in a store to buy something. I serve as a nurse and no one tips me for saving lives. NOBODY CAN BULLY ME!

Why don't employers just give a live able wage?? Why do customers have to feel the brunt?

The only time I tip is on Door dash and I put in $2.00 and that's because I get it delivered!!!

Yes. Tipping is out of control. Even the dry cleaner is asking for tips.

Omg… I agree with the beauty salon!! It drives me nuts

First off, listen to "WERE YOU RAISED BY WOLVES?" - a great podcast! Tamron makes a great point! In a bar, you're a little bathed in booze, but in a coffee shop, if you have to decide a tip when you're "pre-coffee" - which my family and I agree is the WORST time of day to ask ANYTHING of us - it's a WHOLE different story! That said, I always tip at a coffee bar too. Like Leah, I spent years in a service industry as a server in various types of restaurants and bars, working for much BELOW MINIMUM WAGE, which is legal in this country. Tips made all the difference. Look it up on the US government's wage charts. Servers in any type of restaurant can be paid as little as $2.42 per hour unless the state has a higher minimum wage for them. Imagine trying to live on that when you don't have other skills or enough education for a better job! Check out what your state pays and tip accordingly up to your ability, I say. But I've never seen a "pre-tip" screen so I agree, too, that it's daunting and awkward. I guess I don't go to places that use those screens. I usually pay cash anyway. AND LISTEN TO "WERE YOU RAISED BY WOLVES?" because it's a great, entertaining, fun podcast with important information about so many things we face in our lives! In Europe and many other parts of the world, tipping is not necessary or even seen as insulting. Often just the change left from the bill in Europe, if it's close to a Euro, is enough, or one or two Euros even on a bill of 30 is plenty BECAUSE RESTAURANT WORKERS GET PAID A LIVING WAGE all over, and have health insurance from the government (can buy private insurance to supplement it). That any employer charges customers an "insurance fee" or says that tips pay for health insurance in this country is scandalous. EMPLOYERS and OWNERS are raking in millions while they require their customers to pay employees to make up for the scanty wages they pay? There need to be some changes in our antiquated, unfair system.

I was surprised when the person who performed my ultrasound asked for a tip.

Tipping culture has made me a better cook.

I think you should not tip unless the establisment is giving the best service possible.

Manya is on it. A buck for a coffee drink is fully good.

We need a tip too in higher wages. I pay with cash but if I pay with card I hit no tip.

I work as a server and we have the handhelds for guest to pay their bill. I always feel so awkward standing there while they decide what to tip lol. But tbh a lot of people have done no tip lol and felt no shame🥴so yehhhh it’s def awkward on both sides :)

All I say is charge me more and if I can afford it, I come to the store if I cannot afford it I wouldn’t come to your store and quit nagging me about Tip by bullying me by give me the screen.

We recently stopped at a circle K gas station to get a bag of ice. My dad came back to the car and said I paid for the ice and they had 15,18,20% on the screen for a tip. For purchasing a bag of ice..at a gas station?? That’s ridiculous 😮. I think the tipping culture has gone too far. They don’t tip in Japan btw…on a trip with the family recently we were so happy to pay exactly what was asked.

But, Dylan, the owners need to pay their workers more money.

OK a lot of service places they’re not people they’re not paying people good money. So is that a responsibly of the average American to subsidize the wage of those people

Women get called " unhinged, crazy, a loose canyon " when men or others feel insecure, uncomfortable you are getting attention for your work, strengths, multitasking most men admit they can't and that's OK, women want to bring open communication ,groups together as leader and referees, and think outside the box.then if you aren't called all those names as difficult, drama, then you labeled a follower, which is it? Woman can wear many hats, do different things as once managing, due to left brain, right brain operating.but all the talk about toxic masculinity, is offensive, masculinity is necessary in many roles.why do we all need labels. Just try to be a thoughtful self aware human, not everyone will like you, usually due to jeal8ousy, don't give it power.

Tipping is out of control !!!
