I do blame the servers in a way, they are the ones demanding the requesting of tips on more, and more things. That's how the tipflation began and that is how it is growing. Now it has been said some hotels are asking you to tip when checking in. Consumers hate the pressure and so I don't think it's the businesses that are pushing the increase in tipping.
- ConspiracyFact 2y agoServers and cashiers have had no input whatsoever into decisions to add tipping prompts to PoS terminals.
- danaris 2y agoEven assuming that's true, why do you think that started to happen? Do you think that servers just suddenly got greedier? Or is it possible that the reason they're asking for more tips is because the tips they're getting aren't going as far, due to various systemic issues like inflation?
- 7e 2y agoWith the switch away from cash, it looked like some workers were losing tips at PoS terminals. So they added aggressive tip suggestions. Employees now have to pay taxes on their non-cash tips, and now employers realize they can pay their workers even less, to boot.
