Tipping has long been ingrained in our society as a way to show appreciation for excellent service or as a customary practice in various industries. However, in recent years, the tipping landscape has evolved, raising questions about its fairness and necessity.
One particular aspect that has garnered attention is the controversial practice of automatic gratuity being added to pickup orders. As our world becomes increasingly digital and convenience-driven, it’s time to critically examine how tipping has escalated, perhaps beyond reason, and its impact on our dining experiences.
Morgan Huelsman (@webgirlmorgan), a former food service worker, shared her story of being asked for 2 additional tips after already being charged for an included gratuity.
“I nearly lost my mind when I showed up to pick up my order—I picked it up, it was not delivered. And they handed me this nice little receipt—additional tip, third time to tip on the same order. And when I did not sign this, the employee looked at me like I had just ruined his entire day. Sir, I am not gonna tip you for a third time. What are we doing? This is ridiculous. Now I get it y’all deserve the money but three times?”
