Not every tip is created equal and knowing the difference keeps your wallet safe and your money working smarter.

Here’s the rule that always cuts through the chaos: tip only when someone provides real, personalized service and depends on your gratuity.

The non-negotiables: full-service restaurants and bars where servers earn a sub-minimum wage, personal care professionals who rely on those extra dollars, and gig workers who use their own time, gas, and wear-and-tear just to get your order to the door.

These are moments where tipping is a fair compensation.

Tipping is changing fast and knowing the rules keeps you from wasting money on guilt‑driven prompts.

“Tip creep” is reshaping the entire system. Rising frustration is pushing more restaurants toward a service‑included model, where staff earn a fair wage without relying on tips.

Until that becomes standard, the key is to tip based on genuine service. When there’s no service at all, skip the tip with confidence.

Tipping isn’t a guessing game. If there’s no service, there’s no tip and no guilt.

Tipping is unnecessary: self-checkout kiosks, takeout bags waiting on the counter, bottled drinks at a convenience store, and even high-earning professionals like doctors, accountants, and teachers who already charge set fees.

Technology may nudge you with a spinning screen, but that doesn’t mean you owe anyone extra. Save your tips for real labor, time, and service.
