It is because you are listening to bullshit online too much.
I have lived in the US my whole life and I can't remember that last time I left a tip for anything besides a place that you sit down to eat and someone brings you food.
My first job was delivering pizza and that is something with a long social norm of tipping. A tip was a nice bonus but if someone didn't tip it didn't matter because someone else people would tip an irrationally large amount. I didn't think bad of those that didn't tip, I just assumed they were that broke.
It is not that "every one knows" it is that no one cares about this in the real world the way they do when grandstanding on social media.
- bubblethink 3y agoWhen I moved to the US, I didn't know that you are expected to tip for a haircut. I still don't see a meaningful difference between a hair stylist and any other employee that provides a service (e.g., cashier, barista). Yet, here we are.
