Overview

• A Bankrate survey reveals that 59% of Americans have a negative view of tipping culture, down from 66% last year.
• Older generations, particularly Baby Boomers, are more likely to tip consistently despite their dissatisfaction with tipping requests.
• Women are generally more reliable tippers compared to men, especially in sit-down restaurants.
• The rise of pre-entered tip screens and automated prompts has led to consumer annoyance and decreased tipping in some cases.
• Many consumers believe businesses should raise employee wages rather than rely on tips to supplement income.
