Recently, customers, shoppers, and diners met in an online discussion to reveal the times they realized tipping culture had gotten entirely out of control.
“One of my pet peeves here in Las Vegas is that tip jars are turning up everywhere, including fast-food joints!” she exclaims. “Nope, not gonna happen from this senior citizen.”
I’ve never experienced this, and I hope I never do: One customer recalls recently purchasing something online, only to be met with a bizarre request to tip.
“A local all-you-can-eat buffet that we go to occasionally now asks for a tip at the register when you enter,” says one man. “The default is 20%, and you must manually change it if you want to pay less or nothing.”
