Paying aserviceprovider for their good job seems like a sensible thing to do, doesnt it?
Especially knowing that servers likely dont make enough to live comfortably without the tips.
Well, apparently thats not everyones opinion.
So, why is tipping in the US such a debatable topic online?
Well, their service industry workers typically receive aminimum wage, which is around $7.25 per hour.
And as thisQuora answerpointed out, that is barely enough to survive.
And so, serversdependon tips as a major source of income.
If the customer doesnt tip, its normal for them to be dubbed the bad guy in the situation.
It should be noted that someviewtips that are under 20% as poor ones.
At the same time, a bigger tip is always welcome, especially if the service is excellent.
For instance, bartenders and hotel staff need to be tipped as well.
Its said that around $1 is a standard tip for them.
Apparently, now there are barely any payments that dont involve a prompt for a tip.
Even some self-checkouts now tend to ask about tipping.
No human service provider is working there, so who are the people tipping?
Yet, not everyone tips, even where real people are working.
And that can cause quite a drama.
As an example of this, we can take this video, posted by TikTok user@gladys_nicole.
But non-tipping didnt go so smoothly for them.
When the group was leaving, the places manager approached them to talk about their $0 tip.
He said stuff like: In English, its tipping.
In Espanol and Spanish, its…so lets say you get cerveza, you pay for pool.
Dont forget her, you gotta give her a little bit.
But that right now is zero.
[…] You gotta give her, you gotta give her some money, man.
Basically, the video didnt bring any new points for the never-endingdiscussion, just fueled its fire once again.
And what could it bring probably everything that can be said about it, is at this point.
And the change, unfortunately, isnt in the internet folks hands.
