I posted facts earlier that we are the most generous and OP states we're the wealthiest.

Do you have something factual on boomers and those jobless 18 year olds besides an online survey/poll based on the word of the 2,005 adults and alleged tippers who answered the survey/poll during the last 5 days of February 2025 to back this up?

Unemployment must be up again if those unemployed 18 year olds can afford to go out to eat and tip so well.

I don't care what other people tip. I tip 15%.

You want 20%. Be really good. Give me a reason to exceed 15%.

This is stupid. Boomers are the elderly now and are overall making less and spending less than they used. It happened to the generations that got older before them and it will happen to those after. And im pretty sure they’re tipping what they’re used to and not these bs inflated tip expectations. Only silly folks put much attention into this whole tipping thing. Tip if you want. Don’t if you don’t. Never mind what others do. If you depend on tips to live then you’re as equal as a panhandler. At the end of the day, make better decisions!

Well, I tip 20% or more so this graph doesn’t represent every person over 60.

Does this include things like curbside pickup or services that were not historically tipped until only recently?

Get a real f'ing job, that way you don't have to kiss someone's arse for a tip , and work for sub-minimal wages to rely on your existence.

My ex FIL is a well off man financially and a horrible tipper. I treated them to dinner one night and he said he would get the tip. Tipped $5 on a $120+ bill. After he walked off, I put a $20 on the table.

Alternative headline, “Boomers Understand Tipping Culture is Out of Control and Remember When Tips Actually had to be Earned.”

You probably can’t drive it either considering you’re about 79 years old

15% was standard for good service for years. That's what they know.

Maybe they are smarter and don’t fall for extortion. It’s no more work to drop off a steak then it is a sandwich.
