Glad to see a US article calling this out (even if it is the nypost).
With US multinational payment providers using this to shoehorn US tipping culture into other countries which previously had more sane (if still flawed) service payment norms, I'm curious to see if it results in a homogenization of cultures around the world (even negating cultures where tipping is considered offensive in favour of westernised norms) OR just a big ol' backlash. Fingers crossed it's the latter, but I'm pessimistic.
- financypants 3y agoWhy doesn’t someone start a nice restaurant in the US that communicates to their customers that no tip is necessary, because the employees are being paid fairly?
- geodel 3y agoThere were few. Most famously like Eleven Madison Park and many Danny Meyers restaurant in NYC for many years. But now they have reverted back to tipping. Seems its just not possible in US.
