Tipping culture is out of control. Some of the things I’ve seen and oppose:
1. 20/25/30% becoming the default instead of 10/15/20%. 20% is now expected and people throw passive aggressive remarks at you if you tip 20%.
2. Tipping at places that don’t provide any service: mom and Pop clothing stores!?; takeout places where you pick something from the shelves and walk to a counter to get it billed; restaurants where you order at the counter, pick it up when it’s ready, eat on a table and clean up after yourself when you leave;
3. Expecting tips after you’ve already charged for the service. This includes but is not limited to delivery apps: you get charged a service fee, a delivery fee, a local legislation fee that is to ensure the workers get paid fair wages, all of which exceeds 30% of your order. Then are expected to tip. It makes sense in some cases (delivery from a far place or a big order etc.), but not as a default. I’ll tip when you only charge delivery fee or don’t charge anything (like old school pizza places).
4. Tips for salaried employees or contractors. I am not paying my plumber a tip after I paid the dude $140/hour in labor charges on a job that cost me upwards of $3000. Just no.
