Have your (cash) tipping practices changed during the pandemic?

Do you tip food servers more, less or the same as you did pre-pandemic?

I think Boomers like to tip. It makes them feel powerful and rich. It's the "I'll take care of the help" ego thing. I saw it from my parents a lot when I was younger, they loved to go to the same restaurant, get the same waitress, hear her complain about her life, and then tip her and feel better about themselves.

Agreed - but the tipping culture I feel has been pushed by younger people recently. You see the ridiculous tip choices from younger hipster crowd type places.

Agreed, but they're idiots and you can't take them seriously. They just spout whatever talking points they got off of a TikTok propaganda piece.
