Tipping culture in the United States varies greatly from other countries where workers are paid a fair wage.
Instead, it falls on customers in the US to make up for the shortcomings of our government and employers who don't fairly compensate workers.
That being said, there are times when a large tip seems a little excessive and disproportionate to the service received.
That issue is what prompted one TikTok user @thejmancomesquick to post a video of himself complaining after an awkward encounter at a pizza restaurant.
He was asked to tip 20% for takeout pizza. “What is with everyone thinking they deserve a tip now?” He questioned.

“What is with everyone thinking they deserve a tip now?”
It’s called the Obama effect.
This is just outrage over nothing. When I pick up a pizza, a screen asks me what I want to tip - 20%, 15%, 10% or 0%
I always pick zero.
If some jerk wants to make a stink about that, he needs therapy.
Yes, tipping has gotten out of control and ridiculous. I tip the minimum when service is involved and NEVER tip carryout order. NEVER.
Hey, if the workers don’t like the pay, they should simply find a new job and stop whining.
Fair wage? Stopped reading right there.
Don’t want to work as a delivery person with the accompanying low wage? Better yourself and get a better job.
Pathetic.
My Wendy’s has a tip jar. Starbucks has them. My dry cleaner even has one. I don’t tip any of them. I won’t use Door Dash etc because they ask for tip before you even get the food delivered!! No tip could equal a hocker in the food
That’s the fee for not spitting in the next pizza you order. I’m not joking either.
Illegals crossing the borer are now asking for tips.
If you don’t want your food messed with, tip.
I stopped going to Subway after the clerk accosted the guy in front of me for not tipping.
If the companies want people to work, then pay them. If they can’t, then the company will fail.
I do not tip for a pickup/carryout order. I tip for delivery.

That’s her name? The blogger’s name is Blogier?
yeah. The usual auto-prompt on their interactive credit-card screens are 10%, 15%, 20%
I went to one place that prompted 25%, 30%, 40%!
Cheeky bastards!
“it falls on customers in the US to make up for the shortcomings of our government and employers.”
I’ve been paying PLENTY for the shortcomings of our government for decades.
But not sure what this has to do with how much an establishment pays it’s employees unless it’s built-in bias about raising the minimum wage.
I don’t care what the reasoning is.
If I’m picking it up and taking it with me, there is no tip coming. Don’t like it? Fine, I’ll spend my cash elsewhere.
Noted this over the last several years and just laughed while choosing no tip.
Totally Agree.
Seems like people NOW “want” a tip just for showing up for work.
20% huh?
Gee, I guess we were getting off cheap when “The Big Guy” only took 10%.
At So-Fi Arena in L.A., they asked if you wanted to tip
20% (or more) to the cashier ringing up the food after you bring it to them. Basically, it would be the same as tipping the person at the register at the supermarket. F that.
Meanwhile, the Fed has asked employers to STOP raising wages because this contributes to the inflation spiral.
