00:00 To tip or not to tip? Most Americans seem to be confused by the old social etiquette,
00:04 and 65% of them have a negative view on tipping. At least that's the conclusion from a recent
00:10 survey by Bankrate. To be precise, one in three Americans think tipping culture is out of control.
00:15 More shops, food trucks and even airline counters are encouraging customers to tip,
00:20 reports NBC New York. Just under half of those who participated believe businesses should pay
00:25 employees more rather than relying on adding a tip. And over 30% of those asked in the study
00:31 were annoyed by the pre-programmed tip screens on kiosks and tablets that forcefully suggest
00:37 tipping anything from a full meal to a cup of coffee. Terms like "tipflation" and "guilt
00:41 tipping" are becoming more common as people try to navigate what is considered an inappropriate
00:47 amount to spend when there aren't any official guides on tipping culture.
