Touch-screen tipping prompts are popping up everywhere, from restaurants to coffee shops to self-service kiosks.
A new survey from Bankrate reveals that 63% of Americans have a negative view of tipping, with 41% saying tipping culture has spiraled out of control. Advertisement
"It’s easier than ever for companies to offer these tip prompts," says Ted Rossman, Senior Industry Analyst for Bankrate. "It’s not like the old-fashioned tip jar, where you had to go out of your way to put bills or coins in there. Now it’s the other way around. You have to go out of your way not to tip when you’re paying with a card, which most people are doing."
The survey also found that the likelihood of tipping generally increases with age, with Gen Zers and Millennials tipping less frequently than Gen X
