FULL STORY:  If there’s one thing that EVERYONE can agree on, it’s that TIPPING is out of control.

A new survey asked Americans how many times they tipped for services when they didn’t think it was necessary, and the average response was:  40 times.

60% of people say they’re fed up with being asked to tip for different services at various businesses . . . and around the same percentage (61%) feel pressure to tip.

And “tipping fatigue” IS dragging down the average tip.  38% of people say they usually tip restaurant servers 20% or more.  But that’s down from 43% two years ago.  And 30% say they usually tip 10% or less, which is up from 19% in 2022.

Similarly, 19% of people say they usually tip restaurant delivery drivers 20% or more.  But that’s down from 32% two years ago.  And 42% say they usually tip 10% or less, which is up from 27% in 2022.

Overall, 61% of people are willing to pay more for restaurant meals to help facilitate higher wages for staff and eliminate tipping.
