    Can’t read the article – and just like how I’m not tipping, I’m also not giving Bezos any money to read this.

    I think the first paragraph has my thoughts on this though:

    People are tipping less at restaurants than they have in at least six years, driven by fatigue over rising prices and growing prompts for tips at places where gratuities haven’t historically been expected.

    The tip stuff came up during COVID and we felt compelled to help. Now COVID is gonna be with us and prices. That’s because prices are sticky-down.

    I’m sick of tipping quite frankly.

      Yeah, the suggested tip function on a lot of check out apps for businesses that should be paying their staff a full wage is unbelievably offensive. Looking at you Starbucks and Dominos.
