CNN reports that more and more businesses are offering customers the option to leave a tip.

.

According to data from Toast, about 48% of all purchases at fast food restaurants and coffee shops included a tip in the last quarter of 2022.

That's 11% higher than it was before the COVID pandemic.

Meanwhile, the same data also showed that people in the United States are tipping less overall.

Last quarter, the tipping percentage in quick-service restaurants dropped from 16.4% in 2022 to reach 15.9%.

.

According to experts, part of the reason people are tipping less is because of rising inflation.

.

At the same time, experts suggest that the overwhelming number of places offering the option to tip has led people to become less generous.

As a result, tipping culture has transformed into something radically different than it was just a few years ago.

CNN reports that amid the pandemic, people were encouraged to tip generously to help support restaurants and businesses, which raised expectations for gratuity.

The pandemic also pushed businesses to shift to digital payments, replacing cash tip jars with tablet touch screens now widely found in many establishments
