Summary
A TikToker from Iowa, @captain.t.roll3, shared a video showing a restaurant receipt with an “$11.16 non-tipper fee” added to the total bill. He claims to be a frequent non-tipper and was surprised by the charge. The video sparked a debate about tipping culture in the US, with some viewers supporting the restaurant’s action and others opposing it. However, it appears that the “non-tipping fee” might not be a real practice, and the video could be satirical.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Anti-tipping sentiment is growing among American diners, with some protesting the system by abandoning tipping altogether. A “non-tipping fee” might just be a clever way to shame non-tippers. Servers remember regular non-tippers and might serve them with the bare minimum. The debate around tipping culture continues, with no clear solution in sight. Tipping: because you can’t pay your server a living wage, but you can guilt-trip your customers into doing it for you.
