"Survey: Majority Believe Tipping is Out of Control"

A survey by WalletHub reveals that nearly 3 in 4 people believe tipping culture has become excessive, with many feeling that businesses are relying on tips to replace employee salaries. The survey also indicates that 78% of respondents think automatic service charges should be banned, and half of them feel pressured to leave tips. Experts warn of potential negative outcomes if this trend continues, while recent stats show a growing fatigue with tipping requests. Calls for businesses to increase wages and a new law in California aiming to raise the minimum wage for fast food workers highlight the ongoing debate around tipping and fair compensation.
