Ohio Ranks High in States with Generous Tippers
According to data from point-of-sale company Toast, Ohio is tied with Wyoming and New Hampshire for having an average tipping rate of 20.7% at bars and restaurants, just above the national average of under 20%. Surprisingly, tipping trends do not necessarily correlate with a state's overall wealth, as some of the worst tippers were found in high-earning states like California, Washington, New York, and New Jersey. Delaware was ranked as the most generous state for tipping, while states with higher minimum wages for restaurant workers tended to tip less. The data analysis covered credit or digital payments and did not include cash tips.
