Why Tipping Is So Out Of Control In The U.S. - LevelUP - 04-10-2023
I was paying $5 for a Subway footlong sandwich back in 2012 and today I'm paying $12!
And now they want a tip on top of that?

I don’t tip unless I have a server through the entire dining experience and then I tip generously because that is what they depend on for their living. Pickups = no
I think it’s awkward to have a drive thru clerk or fast food clerk hand you a ticket that has the option for a tip.
If I owned that kind of establishment, I would not put my customers in that position.
Ubers = yes
Pizza delivery = yes
Grocery delivery = yes.
Subway = no

Tipping became firmly implanted in American culture during the post-slavery era. Historically, tipping as a form of payment has been seen as only appropriate for the lowest classes in society.

I've always felt like it was a scam by employers to get away with paying lower wages.
