New data from Bankrate reveals that Americans are tipping less frequently for various services, and 66% of respondents have a negative view of tipping, with 41% believing that businesses should pay their employees better instead of relying on tips. Meanwhile, 32% of people are annoyed by pre-entered tip screens, and 30% believe that the present tipping culture has gotten out of control. The study also found that people are confused about who and how much to tip. Ted Rossman, Bankrate’s senior industry analyst, suggests that inflation and a decrease in appreciation for service industry workers due to the pandemic have caused negative tipping views. Rossman emphasizes that tipping is becoming increasingly ingrained in society, and workers depend on it. According to Rossman’s research, just 65% of sit-down restaurant diners always tip, down from 77% four years ago. He believes that consumers should build tipping costs into their budgets to ensure they can afford to tip generously. Age and income also play a role in tipping attitudes, with older Americans and higher earners expressing more negative views of tipping culture.
