But perhaps you disagree and believe that servers earning the full, minimum wage are also deserving of twenty-percent tips—or more.  Well, let’s look into that.  If we follow that logic, everyone who provides a service ‘deserves’ a tip.  Personal trainers deserve a tip.  Masseuses deserve a tip.  Lawn-maintenance crews deserve a tip.  Accountants deserve a tip.  Lawyers—including “family law” attorneys—deserve a tip.  Can you imagine?!  God help us all if it’s considered just to tip the experts in injustice.  You might believe that all of the above deserve a tip, but do you tip them as generously as you tip your restaurant server?  Personal trainers spend a full, face-to-face hour with their clients, so surely we can agree that, if this logic follows, personal trainers are more deserving of tips than are the servers who spend 8% of your dining hour with you.  But personal trainers aren’t alone in this regard, and herein lies the solution to this madness. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/12/our_beyond_broken_tipping_culture.html
