As though the rest of us took a three-year hiatus from respectable society, New York magazine decided to instruct us on the"updated rules" for behaving in public. While the constant coronavirus consciousness of many of the rules will surely bewilder normal people, no set of guidelines is more baffling than the publication's rules for tipping.
This 20% minimum rule includes not only actual wait service but also coffee shops, carts, cafes, bodegas, food delivery, Uber rides, and cocktails. The only exceptions allowed are for plain cups of coffee or beer , takeout , and food counters . The formal term for a tip, gratuity, originates from the Latin term for"freely given." This reflects how tips are used today everywhere else in the world except America. Even in the States, Emily Post recommends tiers of tipping far less onerous than those posed by New York.
Yet coffee shops will prompt users for tips beginning at 20% for the service of pouring hot water into a cup, deftly deflecting the responsibility for shifting an employee's wage from the employer onto the dumbstruck consumer. According to Square, the payment processor responsible for that iPad attempting to shame consumers into tipping $3 on an overpriced latte, tip frequency at quick-service restaurants grew 16%.
