Inflation might be turning Americans into grinches this holiday season, new data suggests. In a survey of 1,000 consumers and 165 restaurant owners and operators across the US this month, just 43% of consumers are now tipping their servers 20% or more, a significant decline from 56% of customers last year. That’s according to a recent survey from restaurant technology company Popmenu, first reported by MarketWatch.

Given the shortage of workers, perhaps tipping is lower due to service delays, incorrect orders, and cold food.

Never understood this automatic 20% tip thing. My policy has always been to start at 15% then go up or down from there depending on the quality of service received. But then, I'm an accountant and I can do math in my head.

It's only been in recent years that businesses put out a tip jar for counter service, like at a sandwich shop. Some places have a 'suggrsted' tip on their computerized systems that you pay with ehyile they stand there and guilt you into tipping. Through most of my adult years, it was generally understood that table service got tipped, counter service didn't. I don't know how things changed.

I still tip 20% but this trend is understandable when these restaurant workers are being paid $15 plus per hour and not the minimum wage the tip was supposed to make up for.

We dined at a newly opened fast food restaurant recently. After placing the order, we were shown the total for our meal and presented with a computer screen asking if we would like to add a 10, 15 or 20 percent tip to the total before any service had been rendered. It seemed a little pushy to ask for a tip up front when the only actual service was delivering food to the table. I doubt we will be going back.

Tip jars are showing up everywhere. One example: Why should I tip the supermarket checkout clerk now that I bag my own items? They can't or won't touch the bags that I by law must now bring in? I should make a tip jar and put it in their face as I'm bagging!

I do 15% AFTER subtracting tax and alcohol. Take it or lump it.

I'm doing the opposite. We are less likely to go out for a pricey meal and more prone to go to the local breakfast and lunch place where the bill isn't more than $50 for the two of us. Then I tip a minimum of $10 regardless of the bill which us usually about $40. We get great service and food. We struggled to get where we are, we will struggle again in the not too distant future, but right now we're in a position to help others a little. I also have no tolerance for the tip calculators that include tax as part of the basis for calculating the tip. If I tip more than 15% or 20% I want it known that's because I chose to, not because I'm too blanking stupid and mathematically challenged to catch their little gamesmanship.

Tip jars are mostly at places where there are minimum wage workers--often students or young people. I am happy to tip at these places and try to carry some dollar bills for that purpose. At restaurants, I tip 20%.

On a recent trip, we stopped for lunch at a restaurant in . The menu said that they automatically add 18% to the tab for tip, but if you wished, you could add more. It even said that if you object to the automatic tip, you're welcome to dine elsewhere. Won't be going there again! Otherwise, we're dining out less often. Servers and people at counters hand over their tablets with a suggested tip amount and watch while you render your offering. Makes me uncomfortable, but not intimidated. There's even one sushi restaurant we go to that features BOGO. At their prices we wouldn't go if didn't offer it. However, when they switched to tablet paying, the suggested tip amount was based on the non-BOGO price, resulting in a tip amount that was 40% of the tab! Needless to say, we put in a 'custom' amount. Admittedly, the overall effect is to make us more reluctant to eat out.

Since the pandemic, we regularly patronize four small family restaurants for breakfast. They are all short staffed and over-worked, thanks to Biden's overgenerous unemployment-plus policy. We always overtip. But I resent the larger places with electronic tablets pushed in your face with automatic tipping options starting at 20%. No wonder patrons are rebelling.

The price of the food is higher making the 20% higher at the same time the consumer has less money to spend.

Like some others here, I only tip when table service is provided. 20% has always been my norm even back when 15% was The Norm because A) I've worked in restaurants and B) generosity redounds to those who practice it.

Since all the restaurants still have help wanted signs out ,it seems, I always tip 20% or more. I just as soon pay people that actually work. We don’t eat out much though. Also in our town you will probably come across a beggar on the way to the restaurant. Yes we are a democrat controlled town.

We don't eat out much, but have always tipped 20% or more when we do. What we've discovered is that the quality of the food has gone down - frequently tepid instead of hot, smaller servings, cheaper sides and so on. Slower service is a given. As a result, we eat out even less than we did before.

The 20% tip was never on my list. That's just happened in the fast few years.And it was mostly promoted by waiters and the others in the restaurant business. And makes it easier for morons to figure out what to tip. 15% before any sales tax has always been my standard unless the service is exceptional. You get no tip if you hand me food from behind a counter.

The trend over the past couple of years is that service, be it in the restaurant industry or any other service oriented industry, has been rapidly declining on the whole. When we eat out (often), the expectation that I am going to give you 20% for poor service and sour attitude on top of lower quality of food and inconsistency is laughable. The sad thing is the restaurant industry is being squeezed to the point where most establishments will go out of business. Everyday this country resembles more and more a third world hellhole in comparison to what it was a few short years ago.

This is similar to the "insurance will pay for it" crowd after buildings and cars are looted and burned. Insurance will pay for it ... until they don't. Strapped customers will pay tips ... until they don't. And when restaurants increase their prices on food items to make up for it, customers stop coming.

Back in the 70’s my grandfather and his good friend would go out for dinner with their wives. Mr. Moyer would hand the server 1/2 of a $50 bill that he had just torn in half, in front of the server. “ here,……if you do a good job, you get the other half when we leave.” Point is. They were willing to tip well, but you were going to earn it. $50 in 1973 was a big tip for a dinner for 4. And my grandmother and Mrs. Moyer didn’t drink alcohol.

Having worked my share of service jobs, I schooled one girl working at a drive through about tipping. She had given me a $5 bill as change, and I told her she was much more likely to get a tip if she broke that $5 into five $1 bills. She looked at me as though I had just given her the Holy Grail. The next time I drove through, that’s exactly what she did. Who says these kids can’t learn?

Since the fake pandemic our lifestyle has changed tremendously. We don't eat out much anymore definately no fast food which is expensive garbage. We quarantined and learned to live like that being on fixed incomes we do everything from. We have two friends that own nice restaurants so when we leave home to eat out that's our choices. We tip very well to support them so they can stay in business. We are over generous with our tipping. One of these places we don't include the tip on the ticket paying cash to the server. I dislike a tip jar that's shared with the dishwashers and divided up that's the reason we do this.

It depends on the server. A good server gets 20% plus. Many don't seem to understand the term "service". I love the small town diner type places with the waitress that still calls everyone "hon" or "sweetie" or "darlin" and keeps the coffee cups filled. Those are the ones who get the biggest tips from me.

In 2021, Disney greenlit Strange World, an animated movie about a family journeying through a mysterious land to save a resource that’s losing its energy. Bob Iger, who is returning to Disney to “save” it from Bob Chapek’s sad tenure, was still on board in 2021, so he must have greenlit it. That’s a relevant fact because the movie bombed at the box office. Coincidentally or not, the movie has an openly gay subtext as one of the main male characters crushes on another boy. Before the movie opened, the media wanted audiences to know about the gay romance, probably under the mistaken belief that audiences would care:
