from The Bootleggers Music Group Radio/TV · host The Bootleggers Music Group LLC
Paul LIVE - The Tipping Epidemic: When Did 20% Become the Minimum and 30% the Expectation?The tipping epidemic is out of control. What used to be a thank-you for great service has become an automatic 20–30% expectation — even at coffee shops, food trucks, self-checkout kiosks, and art fairs. Servers are posting viral rants: “If you can’t afford to tip, don’t go out to eat.” Others demand 30% for bare-minimum work. Meanwhile, customers are exhausted by guilt-tripping tip screens and the constant pressure to tip no matter the level of service.In this episode, we explore how tipping culture shifted from rewarding excellence to entitlement, why so many feel resentful, and what both customers and servers really think. We also discuss practical ways to bring common sense back — tipping based on actual service, not obligation.Have you felt tip fatigue?
