I personally don't mind tipping culture, because it means a lot of servers can make way more than what a living wage would be if tipping was banned and restaurants were tasked with paying a "living wage". Though that is my opinion, I have not backed it up with research.

When people bash tipping culture, it's specifically the culture that's being bashed. Not tipping in itself.

I see no issue with those who want to tip. It's the entitled types like that waitress is what people are bashing when they refer to tipping culture. She thought she was entitled to a $140 tip.

It's also the massive misconception that employers aren't by law required to pay that waitress the same minimum wage a Walmart stocker gets even if she gets no tips at all. It's not the customers obligation or duty to make sure she gets a tip to make more money, but "lol, sucks to be you any other minimum wage job that doesn't typically get tips making." That's the tipping culture people are getting sick of.

Tipping in itself is actually fine assuming it's something you want to do.
