Social Media Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Across the country, there's a silent frustration brewing about an age-old practice that many say is getting out of hand: tipping. Some fed-up consumers are posting rants on social media complaining about tip requests at drive-thrus, while others say they're tired of being asked to leave a gratuity for a muffin or a simple cup of coffee at their neighborhood bakery. What's next, they wonder — are we going to be tipping our doctors and dentists, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thonglorjimmy Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I'm just glad I don't live in the US, don't tip there at your peril. ☹️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Maybe I go to the "wrong" places, but I don't think anybody ever asked me for a tip. To be fair, most of the time I leave a tip in bars and restaurants so they don't have to ask. But I am pretty sure if anybody would ask that would be a reason not to tip. This is not America. Good!

Hummin Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Who is this rants coming from? Never been asked for tip since I first time and last time visited a soapy. I useally leave tip if am satisfied, and often places I visit service charge and tax is already included. Anyway travelling countryside wife pays, I do not bother to ask if she tip or not, but if Im going to guess, maximum 20 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now many places add a service charge unbeknownst to us on our bills. So they take the tip without asking like back in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I think is fair - at least when the owners give all of that service charge to the service people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I really do not care at restaurants if they deserves it, but if they do not, It kind of pisses me off, and I will leave a remark at google reviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the OP should have made clear that the article is about TIPPING IN THE USA. And yes, tipping has gotten out of hand in the USA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think OP should take this one on his shoulders Anyway thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
