It’s hard to put a finger on the concept of tipping culture. In and of itself, it sounds like a pretty good idea that rewards honest and hard work.
But then you run into the issue of defining honest and hard work, and deciding who gets a tip and who doesn’t, and sooner or later you create this behemoth of a tipping culture where nobody really understands what’s going on, let alone why it’s going on in the first place.
So, apparently car repair shop mechanics can also be tipped for their work. This was news to Leahova, a mom from San Francisco whose dad was recently asked to tip after getting his car fixed at the mechanic’s.
