1
While Americans love to reward good service, many are having second thoughts about the barrage of tip requests on practically everything.
2
It seems that tipping screen pops up in just about every sale.
3
Are we tipping every single time that we go to a coffee shop?
4
I have become so good at pressing that no tip button.
5
I'm paying 50 bucks for two drinks at a Phillies game.
6
I'm not tipping you.
7
Shoppers are being nudged to tip when ordering a sandwich, a single cup of coffee, even for things like tires.
8
I went to go get new tires on my truck
9
and they literally had the screen turn around and had the audacity to say, would you like to tip?
10
I said no. So it's tipping out of control.
11
A little bit.
12
Yeah.
13
Although it's a custom that isn't going anywhere, people are pulling back on where, when and how much to tip.
14
Restaurant technology platform PopMenu says 40% of consumers are tipping less this year than last year because of tipping fatigue,
15
tighter budgets and rising prices with 3.4% inflation over the past year.
16
If you go to an establishment and every other month the price for
17
that same item or service goes up and you start to get fatigued there and you have to make up for that.
18
You can't just eat that all yourself.
19
There is also the anxious, somewhat guilty feeling as you stare at the large tip screen that appears before the required customer signature.
20
Do you feel like you're seeing like the tip screen more than you used to?
21
Yeah, definitely within the last two years, I'm seeing a lot more like iPad.
22
Would you like to tip?
23
As people cut back on tips, some consider the cost of the item.
24
When do you say no?
25
When it's about like less than $20.
26
For others, it's about the service.
27
If it's somebody working in like a sandwich shop and they make me a nice sandwich, then I might lay them a tip.
28
But if I'm just buying something like from a corner store, absolutely not.
29
It's not always comfortable to hit no tip, especially when an employee is watching and waiting for the sale to be completed.
30
Does it make you feel guilty not to give the tip?
31
Sometimes, yeah.
32
Pop menu says more than 56% of people don't typically tip at fast food spots and 44% don't tip for fast casual.
33
But most are tipping at sit down restaurants, carry out counters and coffee shops.
34
I think about the people that rely on tips as the primary source of income
35
but also the more personalized I get for example your hair stylist or people
36
that you see on a more frequent basis you start to develop a more personal relationship to me
37
that is where I put the extra dollar.
38
All right so
39
if you do decide to tip is like 20% still the standard 15 to 20% you just heard
40
that guy talk about
41
if it's somebody you're going to see again somebody you have
42
a relationship with you need to tip you want to tip for good service especially
43
if it's something that's part of their pay
44
and their salary a candy bar at the corner store i'm hitting no tip
45
and i don't feel badly about it
46
and we talked to a lot of men on the street
47
and also a lot of experts who told us you don't have to feel guilty
48
if you skip the tip if it's just a kiosk
49
or just the screen the ipad screen in many cases it's
50
just built into their payment software it's not maybe even necessarily
51
that the company's asking you to tip it's just how that's
52
been presented just hit note i wish i was curated a
53
little bit better like business to business you know like
54
so it's not in front of me you know that's not
55
to be embarrassed you know i mean there's still our tip jars out there too
56
and sometimes i feel like i'll put a few dollars in a tip jar
57
because i feel like hey
58
that person making my sandwich they're they're splitting it i can see who's going to get uh get
59
that money but you can really tell from those pop menu numbers
60
that people are they have inflation fatigue they have you know their budgets are stretched
61
and they feel like they're being asked to tip for things
62
they weren't asked to tip on a few years ago tires for example
63
or just a pre-made sandwich you know behind the counter yeah why are you tipping for
64
that they're already resentful they're paying eight dollars for coffee exactly
65
like those airport stores you go get a bottle of water
66
sporting events like you get a beer it's like 15 bucks yeah
67
but to be clear and roker makes this point a lot like
68
if you can afford to tip you should be tipping
69
and what we don't want to see is depending on like
70
swing back you remember during the pandemic we were all tipping for just about everything absolutely
71
but i will say for restaurants and for hairstylists and things like
72
that people are tipping people are still generous that has not changed pop man you said that most people are tipping,
73
they're tipping well at a restaurant where they see your server and they see your server hustling.
74
And that's important.
75
All right.
76
Christy, that was great.
77
It was great.
78
Thank you.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
