Tipping is now out of control in the USA! In this video I rant about what I think the “tipping point” is for when gratuities became beyond reasonable. I discuss several different ways in which Americans are bullied and badgered and tricked into paying huge tips for everything from a cookie or fast food meal to an expensive haircut or salon treatment.
What are YOUR thoughts on tipping culture? Tell me in the comments. And how does Tipping Culture differ where you are from if you don’t live in the US?
Please join me for more discussions of food, culture, travel vlogs and other British fun! Cheers! XX Dara
