Tipping has always been a topic of discussion, especially in the United States. With the rise of social media, the debate has only intensified. One TikTok user, Lillie, recently sparked controversy when she suggested that if people can’t afford to tip 20%, they shouldn’t be eating out at restaurants.
Comparing it to hiring a nanny, Lillie pointed out that if you can’t afford to pay a nanny a full salary, you shouldn’t have a nanny in the first place. Her message ignited a heated discussion in the comments section.
Opinions on Lillie’s stance were divided. Some criticized what they saw as entitlement in her message, suggesting that if the pay is insufficient, individuals should seek alternative employment.
