Perhaps you’ve noticed. We have reached a tipping point in the country over tipping.

To tip or not to tip has led to Shakespearean soliloquies by customers explaining why they refuse to tip for certain things.

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, customers were grateful for those who seemingly risked their safety so we could get groceries, order dinner or anything that made our lives feel normal. A nice tip was the least we could do to show gratitude.

But now that we are out about and back to normal, the custom of tipping for just about everything has somehow remained; and customers are upset.

A new study from Pew Research shows most American adults say tipping is expected in more places than it was five years ago, and there’s no real consensus about how tipping should work.

    Reading comprehension was never your strong suit huh? Either that or you failed in debate class. You have the worst debate tactics I’ve seen in a long time.

      I’m just a stupid piece of shit and should kill myself. Tell me more about how I’m a failure and I don’t know how to read. Unf I’m almost there~

        Chill, please, you definitely shouldn’t kill yourself. Ain’t big deal if someone in the internet is wrong

          Dogpiling doesn’t feel good. Being told I can’t read, can’t debate, and am a failure doesn’t feel good. I got angry.

            Me? When did I specifically say that? Me specifically? Maybe check who you’re replying to :)

              Whatever, replace “you” with “that poster”.

              The point stands. Bully shit. Mocking me for it with a cheeky smiley doesn’t help either.
