“I felt my son was taken advantage of,” the parent told Bored Panda
It’s no secret that, nowadays, tipping has become quite a pain point for many. It seems that wherever you go, there’s either a person, a pop-up window, or a jar staring straight into your soul, waiting for you to give in to the pressure. If you’re strong enough to resist said pressure, though, some establishments might take some rather drastic measures, as the OP’s story shows.
“Other than the physical assault, what upset me the most was how the bar was deceitful in hiding and not informing their customers of the auto tip,” the OP told Bored Panda in a recent interview. “There was absolutely nothing posted in the bar notifying of such. I felt my son was taken advantage of. My guess is that because this was a tourist area, it was a deliberate practice to mislead folks.”
In the Redditor’s opinion, since the pandemic, the tipping culture has changed quite dramatically. “In the one or two years post COVID, the public was accepting of the auto tip and tipping for services that historically were not given in the past. Now, I think tipping fatigue has set in, and people are tired of being ‘bullied’ for tipping for services not deserving.”
