The percentage of Americans who tip in various scenarios, according to a survey conducted by Bankrate in 2023 (n=2,437).
Tipping culture is generally the norm in North America, so its no surprise that 65% of Americans always tip their restaurant servers. The next scenarios with the highest share of “always tip” are hair stylists and food delivery workers.
When it comes to tipping at coffee shops, there is an almost even split between those who “always tip” (22%) and those who “never tip” (23%).
Context: In late 2022, Starbucks began prompting in-store customers for tips, causing backlash on social media over whether or not tipping was necessary.
