In the U.S., tipping has proliferated beyond traditional arenas, with businesses like clothing retailers joining the trend. Digital payment systems have made tipping more visible, prompting questions about etiquette. A Pew Research poll revealed mixed feelings among Americans; one-third find it easy to know when to tip, while an equal number struggle with determining appropriate amounts. This shift has made tipping a contentious topic, deeply intertwining it with both economic support and social expectations, especially following the pandemic, which highlighted the role of tips in supporting essential workers.
The reality is that the rise of digital checkouts has only made tipping more pervasive wherever you shop.
The massive shift in tipping culture now begs the question of what the new social rules should be.
Many places seem to blame the pandemic as tipping became integral to supporting essential workers.
An equal number of people claimed that they found it 'not too easy or not at all easy' to know how much to tip.
