Survey Results!
Hello, tipping czars! This week, we asked you to share the designated tipping rules you would institute in the United States. Here are some of the submissions: Liz in Georgia: "No tipping. Pay service workers a living wage tied to inflation." Martha in Georgia: List four choices: 15%, 18%, 20% and 22%. Add a note of thanks to the customer and an explanation of how the tip gets shared (added to the server's paycheck, shared among all staff, etc.). Susan in New Jersey: "The credit card machine at the coffee shop or bakery shouldn't automatically ask you if you want to tip! Things have gotten out of hand now that no one carries cash. Am I a bad tipper if I pick 'no?'" David in Florida: "Business owners should never attempt to take or receive a share of tips given to their employers." Kurt in Washington: "Go to 10% as the standard/minimum. That's what it used to be. It's easy to calculate. In the 1970s we raised it to 15% because of inflation. The problem with this is food went up because of inflation also, so the tip would've moved up anyway." |
