Massive debate sparked after customer asked to tip kitchen staff: ‘Fear something’s going to be messed with our food’

There is no denying the fact that tipping culture in the US has gotten out of control.

Now, sources are speaking about how it does not matter if it's a $7 coffee or a hefty bill at a fancy restaurant; you're bound to be asked for more money in the name of gratuity.

The matter is a hot topic that everyone appears to have some kind of an opinion on, including one customer who felt things were taken quite far when he was asked to tip kitchen staff located at a deli.

The actual creator's video was shared through X, where more than 60k users chimed in to debate this topic. The stranger says he stopped by a chain specializing in pizza, sandwiches, and more. He hadn't been here for nearly a decade but was appalled when he got to know about a new rule.

While ordering, he was asked if he wished to tip the kitchen crew before he placed the order, and he was mortified. He thought that if he didn't, the food order would be messed up due to anger. And if he did, would he get a bigger and better sandwich? He refused to tip and started a new debate online to see what others thought.
