Processing might take a few minutes. Refresh later.

Race, gender, and overall appearance play a huge role in whether somebody gets a payday. So, some service workers think it might be a good idea to do away with tips altogether. What if the tip was already included in the price of the bill? Of course, prices would be a little higher, but it could mean we can avoid this awkward dance at the end of every service interaction.

Some people advocate for this for equity's sake; others think it should be up to the patron whether or not they would like to add a little extra. The problem with tipping culture is that there is no solution. I think it's too embedded in our way of life to disappear completely. Yet, as it stands, it is also out of control.

People always feel weird about how they spend their money. Whether or not you think your waiter deserves an extra tip is deeply personal, and for some customers, telling them not to tip is an insult. Some people enjoy splashing a little extra to take care of the workers who take care of them. Tipping has the ability to make both the customer and the employee feel good. Especially in America, it never works to try and tell people what to do with their dollars.
