With those tipping screens now seemingly everywhere, Americans think that the practice has “gotten out of control,” according to a new survey.
At least 63 percent of US residents now having a negative view of tipping, up from 59 percent last year, according to Bankrate, a financial publisher and comparison service.
Yet, the number of Americans who have gotten used to tipping has gone up since the COVID-19 pandemic, when it slipped. There have not been significant declines in tips for service providers, the survey noted, particularly for hairdressers and restaurant servers.
Spoken like someone who has never been to a country where tipping culture doesn’t exist. The service industry works just fine when businesses are required to pay staff a living wage instead of pushing that expense on to the customer. You level the blame at the wait staff for pushing this culture, but that’s simply not the case.
I know it works and I’ve been overseas, you missed my point, but I where it could be missed I’ll fix that. The waiters/waitresses in North America disagree with you and are part of what holds us back.
What straw man am I punching in this scenario?
It was too harsh I saw where you could draw the wrong impression afterwards. That’s retracted now sorry.
Um… what?
You’re fighting an opinion I do not share, I was repeating what I was told by wait staff multiple times.
That’s not what a straw man argument is
Correct.
It’s not my argument. That’s…why I retracted and said sorry. The next comment explaining how it happened, not describing the non existence of the strawman. This is getting very dumb. Let’s ignore eachother.
