Tipping has shifted from a simple gesture of appreciation to a complex system that places the burden of fair compensation on customers, particularly in restaurants.
A Pew Research survey revealed that Americans are divided on tipping; 21% see it as optional, 29% as mandatory, while 49% believe it varies by the situation.
In some states, servers earn as little as $2.13 per hour and rely heavily on tips, making it essential for diners to acknowledge this disparity.
There are clear situations where tipping is not only unnecessary but shouldn't happen at all, especially in contexts lacking direct human interaction.
