Summary
A Charleston server shared a video on TikTok asking if it’s appropriate to confront customers about low tips. The customer, who was friendly, left a 9% tip on a $55 bill. The post, which has 33,000 views, sparked debate about tipping culture. Some workers expressed frustration, while others advised against confronting customers. Pew Research found 72% of Americans believe tipping is expected more now than five years ago.
