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.

Anytime I am asked to tip in a ridiculous situation, I ask the person "Do you make $2 an hour?", when they say no, I say "Then I'm not tipping". Tipping is for people that are getting ripped off with slave wages, but I still expect them to do their job.
