How Generosity Became A BurdenThe American Tipping Crisis Earn Cash Back On Stocks: Up To $5,000 Per Year https://www.silomarkets.com/logic Tipping has become a burden. 25, 35, 45% tips for a takeout order or mediocre service. If you don’t shell out a tip though, you often become the villain as you’re that one customer who didn’t leave a tip, but how did things get so bad? Well, tips weren’t always a part of American culture; in fact, early Americans were strongly against tips. It wasn’t until the mid1800s that wealthy Americans learned about tipping from European serfs. These wealthy Americans would bring this practice back to the states but it by no means caught one. This was the case until the Emancipation Proclamation which freed slaves resulting in most of them working in service industries. Many business owners would not pay these workers any base salary and they would be completely dependent on tips for income. So, it’s no wonder why people who were antislavery started tipping these people on a regular basis. This quickly became customary within American service industries and legislation only strengthened this trend. Pair this with the ease of paying and calculating tips offered by technology and you get to the tipping crisis that we’re currently in. This video explains the history of tipping and how generosity became a burden in America.
