Many people are tired of tip creep and feel the practice of tipping in the U.S. needs to go. But a pair of thrifty Cheesecake Factory customers is more than happy to tip; they’re just confused about how much they should. Since they shared a salad and a side of fries between their family of six for a total bill of less than $30, they wondered whether tipping the 18-22% suggested gratuity was “fair” to their server.
In a viral TikTok, the matriarch of the Milehams family (@themilehams), Callie Mileham, 37, says, “So how much would you guys tip? So $29.12 is our total.”
