The only case I can think of where there is a mandatory minimum tip in the US is that a lot of restaurants will charge a minimum gratuity for parties larger than 6-8.
- CaptainZapp 4y agoYou are expected to tip 15% for service, even if mediocre or outright bad. You're expected to tip north of 20% for good service. Sure, in theory this is not strictly mandatory. Socially, if you don't play the game you're a leeching pariah.
- blamazon 4y agoTo put it explicitly: if you don't tip, you're personally choosing for that person to make as little as $2.13 an hour for that transaction. Most would balk at pulling that lever.
- jjeaff 4y agoWell, you are actually pushing their wage downward, but not to $2.13. The lowest would be the minimum wage of the area since the company is required by law to make up the difference.
