Radio Host Opens Heated Debate on Whether Tipping Has Gone Too Far

Americana News
This picture taken on August 24, 2024 shows a bill, with cash for the tip, left on a restaurant table in Los Angeles. Donald Trump and Kamala Harris agree on very little, but the two presidential rivals have found common ground in calling for the elimination of taxes on tips — a populist move that many criticize as economically irresponsible. Tipping culture in the United States is fundamentally different from most other countries, as customers are encouraged to tip generously on everything from take-out coffee to cocktails. A tip ranging between 15 and 20 percent of the price is considered normal at most restaurants. (Photo by Chris DELMAS / AFP) (Photo by CHRIS DELMAS/AFP via Getty Images)
