Summary

Tipping in America has expanded into unexpected areas, with 72% of Americans saying it is expected in more places than five years ago, according to Pew Research.

While tipping can release feel-good neurotransmitters, a Bankrate survey found two-thirds of Americans now view it negatively, and one-third feel it’s “out of control.”

Critics highlight issues like social pressure and wage inequality, while businesses attempting no-tipping models, like a New York wine bar, have struggled to sustain them.

Many believe tipping culture has become excessive, with calls for reform growing.

There's an option to tip at the self check out at my grocery store. The fuck ám I tipping? It's self check out. Am I tipping myself? Fuck these people

You're just giving the large corporation a little walking around money, for their wonderful service, of profitably running a store! You're so nice!

You're tipping the kiosk that provided the service. I guess.

Great, can we get one that can scan things the first time? They can scan one thing maybe every 10 seconds.

Or maybe a more responsive OS, like something that’s not Windows.

Those payment services subtract their free from the money that is sent to the receiver.

Am I tipping myself?

Oh, I would be tipping generously at the self-service if I were tipping me through getting a discount.

maybe……not as generously but that sure would be a weird businesses model to allow people to choose a discount instead of choosing to pay more

I mean, I gets my self checkout discount whenever possible, provided it's a big box store
