This is an interesting article (list-icle? It is pretty short and aggregate list like).
It is from 2022 and mainly focuses on pandemic times, so I'd be curious to see what these trends look like compared to pre/post pandemic. I'm sure I could do more digging and find the answers to this, but still I appreciate this, it is interesting.
One thing I think I would push back on though is the remark of 'soft generosity like tipping culture' which isn't mentioned at all in the list. I also would not consider US tipping culture generosity, but more of a social contract/obligation. Someone that does not tip anywhere, except for where they received great service, isn't normally seen as a non-generous person, they're seen as not abiding by the social contract that you have to tip.
- nemo44x 2y agoYou don’t have to tip. Nothing will happen to you if you don’t. Some people don’t or tip very little. Many tip well above expectations. Most people don’t mind the practice. But it’s not just tipping at a restaurant. We tip our garbage men, helpers, mailmen, doormen, maids, nanny’s, etc at Christmas. You don’t have to do this. But many of us do because we are raised to be generous if we are fortunate enough to be.
- Aeolun 2y agoYeah, generous like “I’ll pay you if I want to” instead of generous like “I pay you because you work for me”
