So retirees on fixed income don’t tip well?

Yeah, how dare we tip according to the original intent.

Everyone gets a trophy group believes piss poor service deserves 25% tip.

Being labeled as the worst tipper isn't exactly taken as the insult it was intended.

Meanwhile, Millennials tip the most, averaging 19.49%, with Gen Z trailing behind at 19.31%.
I found the stupid group.
quote:

“Data also shows that Millennials are the most reliable tippers, leading in almost every category, especially at restaurants, hotels, and personal services.”
Sounds like they have it all together.

Every millennial needs a shirt with a big red S on it. Makes me proud I raised such great kids.

One question: If millennials are so great why are they trying to create such division?

I don't get this. There are new neighborhoods popping up all over the place all of the time.


I see this all of the time in the area I live in. On the edges of the city (I'm in a home-rule class city in the Louisville suburbs) there's still some undeveloped land. It's inevitable that it will be developed. But older folks will show up and fight tooth and nail to keep it from happening at the city's monthly meetings and zoning meetings. They constantly complain that the city isn't "how it used to be" on the neighborhood group on FB.

Then those same people complain that there's not enough restaurants in the area or "fun things to do".

This is true because the boomer's parents popularized and boomers expanded the suburbs that hollowed out downtowns across America along with the decrease in industry

Then these towns had to rely on gen x and millennial gays and hipsters to revitalize some of these places

Why do they separate boomers into two groups? Both 61+ and 45-60 are boomers

The statistical differences are insignificant against a sample size of 2000 respondents.

I am 72 and I tip very well at 20% min and 20+ usually. So, I fall outside of that average.

Boomers fought in Vietnam you idiot. Show some intelligence and respect. Many got drafted which later generations never had to deal with.

Worthless degrees?

A person with an engineering, business, polo sci, marketing degree struggle to find jobs now. Those aren’t worthless degrees. The only people with degrees who don’t struggle finding well paying jobs are people who work in medicine.


Engineering - usually not worthless
Business - it depends
Political Science - on its own, worthless
Marketing - it depends.

I don't what engineering you're talking about, but there's a huge deficit in civil engineers.

Keep being mean to the boomers and they are going to will their estates to the dog and cat, and the big tipping children and grandchildren will have to leave the basement with nothing.

with the generation’s average tip percentage landing at 16.40%, more than two percentage points lower than the national average of 18.85%


Could it be because they grew up in a time when tipping 10% was considered the socially acceptable norm?
