Garrett Petters and his girlfriend experienced a different tipping culture while dining in Paris compared to the US. In the US, tipping is seen as necessary due to low wages for service workers, but many have grown fatigued by the growth of tipping requests in various sectors since the pandemic. As complaints about 'tip creep' surge, there is emerging backlash, with a noted decline in average tips at full-service restaurants, indicating a shift in public sentiment towards gratuities.
"Before, tipping was considered generosity, Petters said. Now, it's about guilt."
"Tipping has been a longstanding practice in US businesses, where service workers often make less than the federal minimum wage and rely on gratuities to make a living."
