“tipflation” and “tip creep” are sparking a backlash

I have never, not once, in real-life conversation, heard anyone complaining about tipping. The cost of health care and health insurance, yes, the price of cars and the lack of negotiating leverage when there is a shortage, yes, the price of housing and rent, yes, but not one time have I heard people complaining about tipping.

People who like ranting online may enjoy complaining about that portion of the workforce who gets tips, but for most people, that is quite literally the least of the inflationary problems.

Haven't heard many more bizarre claim than complaining about tipping customs being some newfangled internet thing.

Your experience is not like mine. I’ve heard it hundreds of times. More if you count the reservoir dogs mr pink-style rant on tipping in general.

“I don’t personally hear anyone talk about it so it’s not an issue”

Seems a little self-centered.

Heh, even my kid complains about it. Your situation must be unique vs those in my circle.
