An overwhelming majority of Americans believe that the tipping culture has gone out of hand according to a new WalletHub survey. Many shoppers and diners across the United States have recently taken to social media to complain about the predatory tipping culture that does not even account for the quality of service.
Initially, Americans were only required to tip waiters/waitresses and bartenders for good service. However, is now even required for self-checkout counters where shoppers are slapped with tipping screens sometimes with pre-filled percentages or amounts. Sometimes, the minimum tipping amount provided on self-checkout screens also exceeds what many Americans are willing to give.
“More and more establishments where you wouldn’t normally tip are asking for something extra at checkout, and people are even being asked to tip self-checkout machines with no human interaction,” the study found.
