Tipping in Hospitality: A Gesture of Kindness or Social Pressure?
Well, we all must have seen around us that whenever we visit a restaurant or anywhere and we like something, then we tip the employees there. If you talk about the service sector, especially in hotels near restaurants, the people from the service sector are given a lot of tips. If you solve something or you do the cleaning work of a particular person, then many people are very impressed by seeing your cleanliness and your work and after finishing their work or whenever they leave you, they take you with them. In such a situation, gradually greed arises in the minds of people and they expect that maybe the other person will also do the same as the previous person did and if he does not do it, then they feel very sad and get disappointed too, but one should not have expectations in the same way because, in reality, expectation leads to disappointment. Tipping culture is growing a lot and it is more in foreign countries, I live in India, it is popular here as well, not much, yes, if you visit a good five-star hotel or such big places then you have to give tips there because the culture there is like this and now natives cannot come from there if you want something from outside then even there tipping is very popular, there are a lot of employees there and that is not the beginning, you enter and they get associated with you.
I like that the tip should be according to your wish and you should not give it forcefully. Some people like to take it forcefully, even if it makes any difference to their customers, they don't care about that. But I feel that if you discover a restaurant, if you like the food there if you want to give something according to your wish, then that would be a good thing. If you are being forced to give something, then that is not a tip. I feel that this trend is growing here also because I don't know why people of India follow the western people a lot and this trend is also growing. We have often seen that whenever we go to their restaurant, there is no change there. Nowadays, it is the era of online, but still, if the change does not come, then we often tell the waiter or their owner to keep it open or we will do the transaction next time.
If tipping is done from the heart then it feels good, but if you are being forced to do it then it is not a good thing and maybe you will also feel sad in this and it can happen. Next time you should not visit that restaurant or place. If you are satisfied with their service then why should you not give it as a reward it is a different matter. If the guests are also asking you to tip then it is not a good thing and you should not do this because everyone implied gets a salary. If someone is giving something from the customer then that is a different matter. Otherwise I It seems that we should not give anything forcefully. Many times, maybe you people also must have had a similar experience that whenever you work in any restaurant, then the better ones, when you give force in the end, they are the ones who expect that you will give them some tip or the other because maybe it may be that if someone is on duty then they expect that thing, you get used to it, there is not that much of any culture here, but still gradually this trend is increasing and I think that in the coming times, all these things will also become big here.
There are many places where we have to give tips. A few of us tip the workers because we feel that they are getting a little less. Whatever the reason may be, some people tip them like this and some people tip them happily or because they are pleased with their service, but sometimes some betters are very rude and they force everyone to tip them. A few months back I attended the wedding of one of my friend's sisters. When the program was over, the person in charge of food and drinks was asking for tips from people outside, from any random user. Although we were invited to the party, still he was asking for tips from all of us. Many people scolded him but maybe he had drunk so he was not feeling it that much. But in the last match, when everyone had left, one of his family members scolded him a lot and then he was abused a lot. After that, he calmed down but after a while, he came back to ask for it again. Then finally one or two people gave him some money and calmed him down. Hey, such incidents happen many times in our life and if someone forces you then sometimes you are compelled to give a tip because after some time you feel embarrassed and you feel what people around you will think about you or maybe next time when you go to that restaurant again then maybe that son or that owner will not treat you the way he did today because he knows that you are not going to give them any tip.

Tipping is just simply a nice gesture performed by people to encourage others in their place of service.
Some of these sales reps have made it mandatory to demand tips from customers, which is very wrong, in my opinion.

Restaurant staff should pay their employees a proper living wage.
Customers should avoid those places, where tipping is forced.
In some countries tipping is even considered disrespectful/rude.
For example in Japan.
Tips are a particular issue, I remember that in some countries it is not well seen to ask for or receive tips.
The issue of tips depends on the beliefs and culture of the countries. But you are right that if it is something forced or obligatory, it is not something pleasant.
In my country the tip is already included by law in the bill, whether you like the service or not, and it is something that does not seem right to me, if you are served poorly you should not leave a tip and that should stimulate the desire to provide a better service to customers.
But that would be in an ideal world, but dreaming does not weigh me down, dreaming of a more fair and balanced world ends up giving me a little more hope for the future.
Have a nice weekend.
