Thanksgiving is a very popular celebration in the United States. What is more, it is just around the corner, and there are millions of Americans buying things for that special event.
Inflation is making it really hard to buy the necessary things on a daily basis. Therefore, any special occasion may be an extra financial effort that customers have to bear in the United States.
Thanksgiving is no exception. Apparently, there is a lot of discontent among customers. This is because they are asked if they would like to leave a tip even at a self-service store. There are many related videos gone viral dealing with this issue in the United States.
Why can many United States customers be fed up with tips?
Despite the fact that giving tips has been a tradition in the United States, things may be starting to change. At least for some customers. The main reason is the fact that they believe many employers are leaving customers the responsibility to provide workers with generous tips.
By doing so, you may feel better because you are helping them get a decent salary. However, the employer may be getting rid of the responsibility to pay the employee the amount of money that is fair for the work they do.
Thanksgiving is just the beginning of the Christmas holiday season. Fewer people use coins and bills to make their purchases in the United States. That is why so many companies ask customers if they would like to add a tip as they pay by credit or debit card.
There are companies that may be taking advantage of this possibility. Even if they do not offer a great service or any help at all, they try to get more money by doing that.
Why could Thanksgiving be a turning point for tips in the United States?
Well, this is a clear possibility because of the fact that there will be millions of Americans making purchases. More and more people are refusing to leave tips because prices are exorbitant.
They already feel that the price they pay for things is unfair. While some customers in the United States cannot afford to tip at restaurants, stores, or cabs, others are getting tired because they are asked almost everywhere about tipping.
The thing is there are millions of Americans who feel terribly bad when they leave no tip at all. However, once they make the effort not to leave some extra cash, they may get it as a habit. The more you talk about tips to your family or friends, the more you can tell that people are sick and tired of them.
So, Thanksgiving and Christmas purchases may be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Anyway, people are sensible and they know when a worker deserves a generous tip, and they will never disappear in the United States.
