What is your rule for tipping?

“Suddenly, these screens are at every establishment we encounter. They're popping up online as well for online orders. And I fear that there is no end,” said etiquette expert Thomas Farley, who considers the whole thing somewhat of “an invasion.”

Schenker says it's hard to sympathize with consumers who are able to afford pricey coffee drinks but complain about tipping. And he often feels demoralized when people don’t leave behind anything extra — especially if they’re regulars. Some of the requests can also come from odd places. Clarissa Moore, a 35-year-old who works as a supervisor at a utility company in Pennsylvania, said even her mortgage company has been asking for tips lately. Typically, she’s happy to leave a gratuity at restaurants, and sometimes at coffee shops and other fast-food places when the service is good. But, Moore said she believes consumers shouldn’t be asked to tip nearly everywhere they go — and it shouldn’t be something that’s expected of them.

Tips at full-service restaurants grew by 25.3% in the third quarter of 2022, while gratuities at quick or counter service restaurants went up 16.7% compared to the same time in 2021, according to Square, one of the biggest companies operating digital payment methods. Data provided by the company shows continuous growth for the same period since 2019.

Lol. This is the one of latest left wing “things”. Not tipping.

20% on the cost for food/beverage for good service...I'm not tipping on top of the tax. I've noticed restaurants that do the automatic calculation are doing so on the total bill. I also noticed the lowest amount at some places is 22%. Pay your staff more per hour they deserve it

Depends on the service. Better the service better the tip. Mostly starts at 15%, but I have left one penny twice, super bad service. Wrong meals, drink etc…. Most of time over 20%

Tip at restaurants. Done. Easy. They're the only ones still earning $2.13 an hour.
