This/That: The Origins of Tipping: A Global Look at Gratuity, Culture, and Wage Inequality

  • Resumen

  • This essay examines the history and global variations of tipping culture, tracing its origins in medieval Europe to its modern manifestations. It contrasts the heavy reliance on tipping in the United States, where it often substitutes for fair wages, with other countries where tipping is less common, discouraged, or integrated into service charges. The essay analyzes arguments for and against tipping, focusing on its impact on wage equality, worker income stability, and potential for discrimination. Ultimately, it explores the ongoing debate surrounding tipping and its uncertain future in a globalized service industry.
