A debate over tipping at shops, bars and restaurants has been sparked in New York as people are being asked to fork out as much as 25 per cent.
During the pandemic, the concept of tipping in stores became popular as people expressed their appreciation for cashiers working at the registers.
Meanwhile, card payment screens encouraged shoppers to leave a minimum of 20 per cent tip for even small items, such as pre-packaged salads in the city of New York, US.
