Most Americans believe that they are expected to tip at more places now than in the past, but fewer are actually leaving tips, a new poll from the Pew Research Center finds.
As the poll lays out, around 72% of Americans perceive an increase in the number of places where tipping is requested compared to five years ago.
The propensity to tip is lowest for counter-service establishments; only 12% of Americans say they "always" tip at coffee shops, and a mere 7% at fast food restaurants. Attitudes toward tipping are split; approximately 20% view it as voluntary for most services, while 30% see it as an obligation. The remaining 50% assess tipping on a case-by-case basis.
