Summary

A New York man claims he was charged a “non-tipper fee” at a restaurant, along with a passive-aggressive note from the server. The man, who says he doesn’t believe in tipping, was charged $12.90, which he then deducted from the bill as a negative tip. The incident has sparked debate on social media, with some defending the server’s actions and others criticizing the practice of adding fees to bills without consent.


Our Reading

The habit gets a new name.

A “non-tipper fee” is just a nice way of saying “we’re judging you for not tipping”.

It’s not about the money, it’s about the principle.

Or is it just a clever way to guilt trip customers into leaving a bigger tip?

Either way, it’s just another example of how tipping has become a required part of dining out.

Because who needs a social contract when you can just add a fee to the bill?
