I have to imagine something like filthy rich boomers who randomly drops hundreds on tips skewing this. This has not been my experience like at all

on top of that, it may be possible that younger generations just legit have less credit lines, skewing the whole thing because older generations have multiple credit cards while many young people just use their debit, secure card or cash to tip. I certainly always tip in cash when i can which is the vast majority of time, especially for delivery or small mom and pop places i never use any card cause those fees for merchants are bullshit and cash is king.

shit like this always needs to be taken with a grain of salt, there are more factors at play than just young people ain’t tipping cause that’s some bullshit

Also, how many 18-25 year olds can afford to regularly eat out at sit-down restaurants, where you’d be that expected to tip as opposed to just throw change in the jar? Certainly not like Boomers love to.

It was self reported and didn’t say anything about amount of the tip, just if they always tip. Some great tippers don’t always tip. Usually because they’re service people and if they have a bad day they don’t have the cash for it. Meanwhile, the person who always tips $5 even on a $170 meal is still represented as a “better tipper”.
