Has Tipping Culture Gone Too Far?

We all know the moment.
You order a coffee. The screen turns around. Suddenly you're staring at 20%, 25%, or 30%—and wondering whether choosing "No Tip" makes you a terrible person.
But tipping wasn't always like this.
In this episode of Popularly Unpopular, I'm joined by my friends Erica and Robert, and this conversation is personal: all three of us worked as waiters in New York City when we were in college. We depended on tips. We understand what it's like to work hard for them, and how much they can matter to someone trying to make ends meet.
But today, we're on the other side of the transaction.
Tipping has expanded far beyond restaurants. We're now asked to tip at coffee shops, takeout counters, food trucks, delivery services, and businesses where a tip historically wasn't expected. And with digital payment screens suggesting increasingly higher percentages, tipping can sometimes feel less like a reward for exceptional service and more like an obligation.
