Used to be, people would slip you a little extra for good service, a smile, a thank you, or a solid 20%. These days? Folks tap their cards, stare at the screen, and pretend the tip prompt is some kind of moral quiz they weren’t prepared for. Half the time, they hit “no tip” with that oops, wrong button grin. How's tipping looking for you these days?

I've noticed tips declining over the last year, but I have a hard time holding it against anyone. Prices of everything are increasing and people are just trying to save where they can. Of course, that doesn't help me pay my own bills.

I’m glad you understand how the economy has affected people from tipping on the regular. I admire a lot of waitress and servers because it’s not easy seeing people not tip you for the service y’all have done.

More people are just clicking “no tip” by default and I don't even think they're getting awkward with the prompt. It’s rough because good service still takes effort and a smile, but the appreciation doesn’t always show up in the tip jar.
