Since jobs in the hospitality sector are often high-pressure and low-paying, gratuities from kind patrons are greatly valued. Actually, Qantas now advises guests that the “standard” tip in the US is now 20%.
Although gratuities are technically optional in the US, anybody who has attempted to leave a restaurant
without leaving a tip will likely tell you that they were discovered by staff members as soon as they left the parking lot.
People are now sharply split over a single social media video. A TikToker named Gladys Nicole (@gladys_nicole) shared what
she claims to be a video of a manager of a pub refusing to allow a group of young guys leave until they had left a gratuity for their server.
