When was the last time you purchased something and you weren't asked for a tip?
Not only are requests to tip on purchased goods and services increasingly common, but the amount of the traditional tip also has been on the rise
for decades.
During the 1950s, people commonly tipped 10% of the bill. By the 1970s and 1980s, that percentage had jumped to 15%.
In 2023, people typically tip anywhere from 15% to 25%. Consumers on
average said they tipped more than 21%, according to a Creditcards.com
survey in May 2022.
"What we're seeing now nationwide is something that is known as
'tipflation' . at every opportunity we're being presented with a tablet that's asking us how much we'd like to tip," said etiquette expert Thomas Farley, also known as "Mister Manners."
The coronavirus pandemic put more upward pressure on tipping. During the height of those days, consumers started tipping for things they never had before to service industry workers.
In February 2020, just before the pandemic began, in food and drink specifically, the share of remote transactions when tipping was offered
was 43.4%, according to Square
. In February 2023, that share was 74.5%.
Meanwhile, if people were willing to give the person delivering food to
their home a 30% tip for service, why not ask if they'd like to tip when
they come to pick up? Restaurants started doing that more often - and that practice hasn't ebbed.
Another reason people are tipping more is because of newer and cooler- looking technologies - kiosks and tablets with three large tipping suggestions that pop up on the screen in front of you. Business owners typically pick those options, and they can also disable the feature if
they want to.
To that point, 22% of respondents said when they're presented with various suggested tip amounts, they feel pressured to tip more than they normally would, according to Creditcards.com.
"They use those options as an indication of what the normative range is
and feel compelled to tip within that range. So the more you ask, the more you get," said Mike Lynn, a professor of consumer behavior and marketing
at Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration.
The three prominent companies with that trendy and sleek look are Square, Toast
and Clover. The companies launched about a decade ago to help businesses
run smarter, faster, and easier.
In some cases, they charge fewer fees so it's less of a burden to accept multiple credit cards, don't require long-term contracts, and offer
multiple other useful tools including inventory and employee management.
"They got credit card processing into the hands of individuals and very
small merchants," said Dave Koning, a senior research analyst at Baird. "Square did a great job . it's been a tremendous growth story. That's half
of the business today," he added.
But, with customers tipping more, where's the tipping point?
"I have to believe tips are going to go up from where they are today. But
I also think there's got to be a logical ceiling somewhere. I just don't
know where it is," Lynn said.

Because they are adults. I never claimed they knew HOW MUCH they were

99% of the time, the service deserves a tip, especially considering
the fact that restaurant workers are paid low wages.

The tip is based on the service which has nothing to do with the quality
of the food.

I have to disagree with you here. Whether they deserve tip has, and
should have, nothing to do with the arrangement they came to with their employer. Tips are a gratuity, for superior service or service above expectations. If someone is hired to take food from point A to point B,
and that's all they do.. then they have performed what they were hired to
do. Now if they make sure to add napkins, utensils, condiments, and other items to insure I have everything I could possibly want for my mean.. then that is service above expectations and they should be tipped for that. However, you won't know if they did that UNTIL they arrive.
Further, if I tip, particularly if there is a record of that tip, then
they have to pay tax on that. If however I give them a gift of money, then that is non-taxable under the legal code and they have no need to declare
it or pay income tax on it. However I don't do that over an app, because
the apps only allow for taxable tips.
So, no, service does NOT automatically deserve a tip, and if it's worthy
of something it should be as a tax free gift.
Either way, however, whether you get either depends on your level of
service which is unknown until after you have performed such service.
