FULL STORY: If there’s one thing that EVERYONE can agree on, it’s that TIPPING is out of control.
A new survey asked Americans how many times they tipped for services when they didn’t think it was necessary, and the average response was: 40 times.
60% of people say they’re fed up with being asked to tip for different services at various businesses . . . and around the same percentage (61%) feel pressure to tip.
And “tipping fatigue” IS dragging down the average tip. 38% of people say they usually tip restaurant servers 20% or more. But that’s down from 43% two years ago. And 30% say they usually tip 10% or less, which is up from 19% in 2022.
Similarly, 19% of people say they usually tip restaurant delivery drivers 20% or more. But that’s down from 32% two years ago. And 42% say they usually tip 10% or less, which is up from 27% in 2022.
Overall, 61% of people are willing to pay more for restaurant meals to help facilitate higher wages for staff and eliminate tipping.
