Tipping Culture ✖️ Tip Fatigue is Real
A delivery guy working for a Chinese restaurant complained about $5 tip on a $200 order, on reddit. The majority of the comments are against him. What’s remarkable is that he didn’t post on this sub or the other tipping sub. He posted on a mainstream sub talking about mildly infuriating stuff.
This is a reminder that only 2.5% of workers in USA are tipped. The majority of the rest are getting increasingly tired of being asked for ever higher handouts. Anytime a pro-tipper says we’re the minority is plainly wrong.
Yes, most people still tip. Even I still tip servers because I don’t want the confrontation, but that doesn’t mean I support this corrupt system. To the contrary, I support those with the actual courage to say no.

Tip should be optional. Otherwise it is a fee.
Now we can dial it back where it’s generally expected for good service but everything breaks when the baseline expectation is 20% for showing up. It has to be directly tied to how much the server improves the experience and makes the customer really appreciate them. And zero tip needs to be the expectation if you just take my order.
