25 percent “tip”? In the USA this is now a completely normal requirement. Customers are being pressured into paying more. The “Tipflation” angers many consumers – but is it even okay to give less?

The Fresh Baguette saleswoman in Washington suddenly turns the touch screen to face the customer to confirm the amount. The baguette costs 4.85 US dollars (4.46 euros). Otherwise you can’t afford anything. As soon as the credit card is out, the question pops up on the screen: How much tip can I have? 15 percent tip? 18 percent? 20 percent?
