We should all treat people who work in the service industry with kindness.
After all, theyre working hard to fulfill our wishes.
But sometimes, the tipping is taken too far.
For example, when tips are being asked for somewhere that wont likely benefit a server.
Like in this womans case, when she was asked to tip an online store.
This prompted her to question what she was tipping for.
So, as an esthetician, as an employee, I am not someone who sets my own prices.
And none of that seems unreasonable.Its never expected, [and its] always appreciated.
But its reasonable that people tip for the services that I perform.
Anyway, back to the story.
So, a few months ago, I ordered actually these earrings that I have on now.
I said, Excuse me?'

Like what am I tipping for?
The experience shopping online was as good as it can be.
It was easy, quick, whatever.
But what am I tipping for?
Watch the video here
The video was posted by TikTok user@beautybyjrwor Janine.
According to her bio and information provided in the video, shes an esthetician and wellness enthusiast.
And so, the videos she creates are related to her interests.
With this content, she has a total of over 300 followers and over 34K likes.
In the video, she calls out thetipping culturefor getting nonsensical.
This thought was prompted after the woman was asked to leave a tip on anonline store.
She said she saw this as a pointless thing, as there was noserviceprovided.
And she has a point in saying that.
Then, in the 1960s, the US Congress decided on a so-called tipping credit.
This means that the employer can pay the employee lower than the minimum wage if they earn tips.
And thats where the problem with the current tipping culture began.
A few people even doubted that the employees saw the tips left at the online store.
Basically, just as the TikToker implied, the tipping situation is becoming uncontrollable.
