Нация устала от попрошаек

kilativ — 26.01.2023 И речь не о бомжах, речь идет о гораздо более многочисленной и настырной группе людей - выпрашивальщиков чаевых. Достало даже американцев, которые на фоне инфляции еще должны выкладывать до 30% (!!!) сверху за услуги, которые им не оказывают. Речь идет о требования (иногда весьма настойчивых) чаевых от людей, которые наливают тебе кофе на вынос, причем из карафе. И не немножко мелочи, а типа 20% от заказа. И мотивация такая: если ты можешь себе позволить кофе, типа, чего ж ты зажимаешь МОИ деньги?

Across the country, there's a silent frustration brewing about an age-old practice that many say is getting out of hand: tipping.

Some fed-up consumers are posting rants on social media complaining about tip requests at drive-thrus, while others say they're tired of being asked to leave a gratuity for a muffin or a simple cup of coffee at their neighborhood bakery. What's next, they wonder — are we going to be tipping our doctors and dentists, too?

As more businesses adopt digital payment methods, customers are automatically being prompted to leave a gratuity — many times as high as 30% — at places they normally wouldn't. And some say it has become more frustrating as the price of items has skyrocketed due to inflation, which eased to an annual rate of 6.5% in December but still remains painfully high.

"And they're talking about 18% gratuity is already included in the bill. Girl, it's water," one person said recently on TikTok.

"Suddenly, these screens are at every establishment we encounter. They're popping up online as well for online orders. And I fear that there is no end," said etiquette expert Thomas Farley, who considers the whole thing somewhat of "an invasion."
