With those tipping screens now seemingly everywhere, Americans think that the practice has “gotten out of control,” according to a new survey.

At least 63 percent of US residents now having a negative view of tipping, up from 59 percent last year, according to Bankrate, a financial publisher and comparison service.

Yet, the number of Americans who have gotten used to tipping has gone up since the COVID-19 pandemic, when it slipped. There have not been significant declines in tips for service providers, the survey noted, particularly for hairdressers and restaurant servers.

To clarify, the tip percent shouldn't need to change since it's a percentage of the final bill. So, it automatically accounts for inflation already.

If the average bill goes up 10% and customers always tip the same % then the workers would see a 10% increase in tips.
