Tipping: Is It Time for a Change?

Tipping has always been a hot topic of discussion, especially in the United States. With the rise of social media, the debate has only intensified. One recent incident on TikTok has sparked controversy and divided opinions. Let’s dive into the issue and see where you stand.

Lillie, a server, shared her perspective on tipping in a now-removed video. She highlighted that her income primarily relies on tips due to the low hourly wage she receives. Lillie pointed out that menu prices are intentionally kept lower, with the expectation that customers will make up for it with tips. In a bold statement, she said, “If you can’t afford to tip, then you don’t deserve to dine out.”

Comparing it to hiring a nanny, Lillie raised the question of affordability. Just like a nanny’s salary, if you can’t afford to pay a full tip, should you reconsider dining out? Her message ignited a heated discussion among viewers.

Opinions on Lillie’s stance were divided. Some criticized her message, perceiving it as entitlement, suggesting that individuals should seek alternative employment if the pay is insufficient.

Others supported Lillie’s perspective and shared their own experiences with low wages. They stressed the importance of tipping for a better dining experience.

Now, what are your thoughts on this controversial topic? Should people who can’t afford to tip 20% reconsider dining out? Share your opinions below!
