Tips in the US are becoming widespread

In the United States, it is now common for people to be encouraged or even expected to leave a tip when paying by card. The standard tip of 10 percent is no longer considered sufficient. Many businesses have started to implement automatic tipping options on payment terminals. Customers often find themselves pressured to add extra amounts to their bills. This trend has sparked discussions about the fairness of tipping practices. Some argue that it places an unnecessary burden on consumers. Others believe it helps support service workers. The shift reflects changing attitudes toward tipping in the service industry.

It highlights the growing debate over tipping culture and its impact on both consumers and workers.
