The Tipping System Debate: Perspectives and Practices.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Bored Panda
Tipping culture in the US has been criticized as companies introduce virtual prompts suggesting amounts to tip, even at self-checkout machines. Customers are becoming less inclined to tip and believe that companies should pay their employees fair wages instead of putting the responsibility on customers. A recent survey shows that 66% of Americans have a negative view of tipping, and 41% believe that businesses should take responsibility for paying their employees better. The total number of consumers who say they always tip has decreased by 10% over the past two years, and 16% of survey respondents said they would be willing to pay higher prices if we could do away with tipping altogether.
