Tipping culture always receives controversy every time it is discussed.
The culture of tipping in American culture is common sense. Many people, after using the service, often tip the waiter a certain amount of money as a reward for the waiter.
However, there are still many customers who refuse to tip the waiter. They argued that they had no obligation to tip the employee while the employee had already received a salary for his or her work. That's why many people still don't tip despite everyone's arguments.
For you? Tip or no tip?
The video, which went viral on social media, showed a manager who sparked debate after refusing to tip.
