Unpopular opinion incoming….
The sheer differences within the thread are already apparent. TBF, ‘tipping’ tends to be heavily US-focused, (with some exceptions obviously). And those in the US have seen/felt the increased ‘pressure’ to do so in an array of professions that many never thought of pre-Covid, for right or wrong.
My worthless .02….if any ‘professional’ in a generally non-tip based industry decides to give me preferential treatment because I tip, I don’t want to do business with them. I bust my arse in my industry, (which by its nature I never see ‘clients’, let alone a tip), but I wouldn’t alter by duties, putting a tipper above a non-tipper if it was different. May be harsh, but IMO if you give any form of preferential treatment in your field towards those who tip in a non-standard tipping industry you’re in the wrong business and should be ashamed. Perhaps an ethics 101 course at a local community college could help those folks, /shrug.
Sheats gotten out of hand in the US, IMO.
