While it is common knowledge that people working in the service industry rely on tips, the truth is that not everyone leaves a gratuity. There are people who do not leave anything whatsoever, so we bet you can imagine just how rare it was for something like this to happen. The rule of thumb is to leave 15 to 20% of the entire bill. However, as much as 40% of Americans only tip smaller than that or not at all.

The biggest problem here is the fact that folks working in the service industry have to deal with “tipped minimum wage.” It means that the government has declared that people working in restaurants and bars should only get a fraction of a wage. The idea was that customers will make up for this by giving them tips. It would be fine if all customers left generous amounts, but this is not the case at all.
