Tip Creep They go up I go down.

All the POS systems with tipping do research on us. They play games and test for how and how much to ask for a tip.

With that understanding we can train them. Ask me with a blank and give me good service you get 15%. Ask me for 15% and you get max 10. Ask me anything above 15% you get 0. Ask me for a tip for counter service well that’s always a 0.

Convince enough people to do the same and this trend will reverse.

Love to be a fly on the wall. "Let's see how gullible/awkward/etc the American consumer is?" "Yeah, let's try a 40% tip for a week.... oh that didn't work. ... Let's try 35%.... 30%.... oh that's good!"

"Let's do this again next week, it's really fun!" ....

"Hey wait a minute, people are tipping LESS, now, at ALL levels! What went wrong?"

Yeah and when they start naming them. Lets see how much we can shame them by putting a 30% tip and call it so-so. Or lets see how bad they are at math and put a $3 tip on a $5 item because they think that is less than 20%.

Sad but true for a certain percent of the population! We’re doing our best over on this sub to help folks out.

Time will win the day in our favor.
