Service industry tipping etiquette debates

Overview

Discussions regarding tipping etiquette in the service industry highlight growing social awkwardness surrounding gratuities. While standard tips in sit-down restaurants typically range between 18% and 20%, debates have emerged regarding smaller service roles such as baristas or delivery drivers. Some argue that tipping should be reserved for active table service, while others note that the presence of tipping prompts at drive-thrus or quick-service counters can create discomfort for both employees and customers.
