Granted, it’s always been socially acceptable to tip your waiter, valet, or concierge. But with the current trend of ‘tipflation,’ tipping has been expanding into more and more industries. To demonstrate that, we’ve gathered the most absurd and infuriating cases where people had to tip. Do you have an outrageous tipping story, Pandas? And what’s your opinion on the matter: to tip or not to tip? Share your thoughts with us in the comments! Etiquette expert and author of A Traveler’s Passport to Etiquette Lisa Mirza Grotts kindly agreed to lend Bored Panda her expertise. She told us more about the general guidelines for tipping in different service industries. We also had a chat about ’tipping fatigue’ and in what instances it’s okay not to tip. Read her insights below! More info: Lisa Mirza Grotts In addition to her television, radio, newspaper, and online presence, she authored a manners blog for the Huffington Post for eight years. We wanted to know more about the current estimates of tipping and what the tipping etiquette is for classic services such as taxis, restaurant servers, and hotel staff. The etiquette expert says that the typical amount to tip servers at restaurants is 20% of the bill. When it comes to a concierge or a doorman at a hotel, it depends on the special request that they do for you. Whether that’s calling a cab or carrying your luggage up to your room, the nature of the request determines the sum. “As servers are paid a low base pay, a little extra can make a big difference in the time of Covid. The amount all depends on the type of service, but one thing experts all agree on is when in doubt, give, and make sure to have cash on you.” Are there times when not tipping is okay? “Tipping is not allowed at private lunch clubs and country clubs. Also, a tip would not be expected at self-service checkout or for medical appointments, to name a few,” Grotts gives some examples. Another reason for ’tipflation’ is that now it’s much easier to ask for tips. All service industry workers have to do is turn a tablet around. “That person who gave service to you is in front of you and there is this social pressure,” Singh adds.
