Whether you add a standard 20%

Huh? When did 20% become "standard?"

[Governor Dinwiddie]

You can punch in any amount you want, but I still hate those screens when they catch you by surprise. For me, it's cash only or nothing from now on.

[cuban leaf]

Count me in that group. I’ve tipped 20% for decades. I’ll still do it, but am less likely to even eat somewhere where there is table service. And that is the ONLY thing I tip for.

The reason? I found out our server has to share their tips. That didn’t happen in the 70’s when I was in the business, nor in the 80’s when I delivered for Dominoes for a few months. That’s just stupid.

[Hyman Roth]

I love tipping cows.

NO ONE deserves a tip in any state (or city) that pays a “Living Wage”, since, by definition, they are already making enough to live on.

It’s extortion at fast food places. I went to one and it had a kiosk for ordering and it asked me for a tip. I walked out. Even the machines want tips.

[Jonty30]

I think the article is generally BS. The left wants the end of tips because they want a stratified society, where you are only allowed to earn a certain wage, in accordance to your position in society. Getting rid of tips means every dollar is tracked and taxed.

People do have to be wiling to not tip if they don’t receive good service in order to shake those out who aren’t good servers.

[sushiman]

No tipping here in Japan . It is considered rude .

[PeterPrinciple]

Americans are “fed up” with increased tipping opportunities.

[DesertRhino]

Also, now the “tips” collected at point of sale, get taken in by the company, and other distributed in some way they decide is equitable.
Tipping in some places like Colorado “pool” the tips and distribute them equally among the waitresses.

Many don’t realize that you are supposed to leave a tip at the hotel for the housekeeping staff.

[ansel12]

Tip the shoe salesman for all the trips he has to make back and forth and reboxing the shoes that don’t fit.

[Ancesthntr]

I DESPISE mandatory tips. And 15% is standard, not 18% and CERTAINLY not 20%. And, most of all, a tip is for good service, not for continuing to breathe.

[Ben Dover]

I don’t like having to provide a tip prior to receiving food or services.

[Ronald77]

Tipping used to be for good service now it’s all but mandatory.

[fso301]

Who wants barbers and restaurant servers that are surley and unpleasant like they are in countries where tipping is not customary?

[Leaning Right]

My father was by nature a frugal man. But he always tipped well. One day I asked him about that. “No one is getting rich being a waitress,” he replied.

I have since followed his example.

Your mileage may vary.

[Daveinyork]

I tip in cash. I tip what is earned, with one exception. If I am unhappy with the service, I tip a penny. No tip can be written off to forgetfulness. A penny is a message.
