Americans Are REFUSING Tips Everywhere… And U.S. Restaurants Are BITTER.

Americans are getting tired of being asked to tip everywhere and restaurants are starting to feel the backlash.
From drive-thru windows and coffee shops to sit-down restaurants, tip screens seem to be appearing almost everywhere. But as customers increasingly push back, servers, musicians, restaurant owners, and other service workers say the decline in tipping is directly affecting their income.
In this video, we break down both sides of the tipping debate.
We look at customers who feel pressured to leave 18%, 20%, or even 25% for basic transactions, restaurants adding service fees before asking for another tip, and workers who argue that tipping is a major part of how they make a living.
We also look at some of the most heated real-world tipping confrontations — including a restaurant owner confronting customers over a missing tip, a server defending tipping culture, and customers discovering that a service fee had already been added to their bill.
So where does tipping actually make sense?
Should customers be expected to tip every time a screen asks? Should restaurants pay higher wages instead? And if tipping disappears, who ultimately pays the difference?
This debate isn't going away anytime soon.

Not mandatory extortion. I refuse, Extortion.
Businesses should not be so pucking cheap. Pay yer employees.
Their wages are not customers responsibility. Gratuity is, complementary.
Not Extortion
Tipping should always be optional. It should be up to the guest to leave whatever tip they deem appropriate. Most especially when restaurants charge you extra for location fee, seating fee, bartender fees, and so on. All those extra charges are beyond ridiculous. Those extra charges tell me that, you as a guest, are not a valued customer, but a mechanical ATM. I wouldn't doubt it if American restaurants charge you for toilet fees, oxygen fees, elbow space fees, candle fees, music fees, napkin fees, silverware usage fees, going in and out the restaurant fees, dishwashing fees, table and chair fees at some point in time. RIP fun dining experience.
Now, when I go to restaurants I do tip. But, if I get bad service I pay a bare minimum & I say why. Also, I would never tip at a fast food place or getting something to go. Tipping is for a service it is not an obligation. If you don't like that, get another job.
It simply can't be right that the customer pays for the food and the employee, while the company washes its hands of it...
What's next—is the customer supposed to pay for health insurance, too?
Oh, I forgot—in the USA, that's only for the rich...
