Americans Push Back Against 'Tipflation' as Tipping Habits Shift

A growing number of consumers express frustration with frequent tipping requests, leading to changes in tipping behavior across generations.

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.
