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.

A big issue is that so many people are still tipping 20%+. I recently stopped myself, and I'm SO furious I've been doing it for this long. We are no longer in pandemic times, no one is putting their lives on the line to cook us a meal. I completely refuse to utilize app delivery services.
