A recent survey found 3 out of 4 Americans believed tipping culture had gone too far, with half saying they'd been asked to tip at self-service machines.
Americans are growing weary of tipping expectations and admit they don't tip as much as they used to, according to a new study. The research by CouponBirds surveyed 1,199 Americans about their own tipping habits before asking another 628 Americans about their views on tipping and wages for servers.
Shockingly, 39.7 percent have been told upfront that they would receive a worse service if they didn't tip - and 20 percent have experienced a situation where tipping was compulsory," it continued. The results reflect rising frustrations Americans have with tipflation, or being pressured to tip at places that didn't ask for tips in the past. More Americans said they tip out of guilt now rather than tipping for good service.
Long wait times, poor quality food, and if no service was required were also major reasons why Americans skipped tipping. Just over half of those surveyed said they either "often" or "always" tip. The report also showed how income correlated to tipping. Unsurprisingly, a higher percentage of the top income earners reporting giving above average tips between 15-20 percent.
