The United States has a relatively unique tipping culture — but some Americans would say that it’s getting out of control.
While tipping used to be largely confined to waiters at restaurants and similar environments, there seems to be pressure to tip everywhere we turn — from ride sharing apps to the tablet manned by the barista whose only job is handing over a muffin or cup of coffee.
Papa John’s learned the hard way once a reminder on their boxes to tip their delivery drivers went viral for all the wrong reasons.
A video making the rounds on multiple social media platforms involved a woman reading the reminder from the side of her pizza box: “DELIVERY FEE IS NOT A TIP. Please reward your driver for outstanding service.”
She had some choice words in response.
Warning: This video contains explicit language and may be offensive to some viewers.
“Tips aren’t paychecks. Pay your f***ing employees, b***h,” she advised Papa John’s.

“Tips aren’t paychecks pay your f*cking employees”
