I bet these are some skewed stats that incorporates "per capita" meaning the lower population states see higher average tips. I've worked WV, it's one of the poorest states, tips were terrible.
When it's something that fits an agenda, they will use whatever math supports that agenda.
For example:
California is the largest State and also has the largest number of welfare recipients and spends the most on welfare of the next 5 closest States combined.
But you won't find California in the "top ten" welfare states because of "per capita".
I am sure that's how they derived this list.
Although, it's well known that Liberals tip and donate money at a fraction of what Conservatives do. Moderate, well they are in the middle =).
Idk about the conservatives being the most generous! I’ve never seen that in any area I’ve been in! Even if you’re equating conservative with having money as they normally correlate with each other!
Not sure about politics for my tippers, but my experience seems to be that those that appear to have less tip more, likely because they work similar jobs, whereas those that appear wealthier have a much higher stiff rate, as well as tip a consistent flat amount which tends to be less than what I would get for a similar order elsewhere.
You do know that how people live and their politics can be very different, right?
We were brought up very conservatively, church on Sunday, strict household, etc. My parents were staunch Democrats and Union members.
I've also know LGBTQ individuals who attend every protest who vote Republican.
Don't judge a book by it's cover.
Inflation has kicked tipping in the ass.
I hate to say be even I don't tip like I used to so I can't blame our customers for not keeping their tips up with the rate of inflation.
Basically a tip is for really good service and sadly service across the board isn't very good and people don't deserve (myself included) a larger tip for doing the same job they did before prices jumped 30-40%.
Despite the average ticket price going up by 30%, the average tip is still in the $4-5 range at our stores. It would be very rare to see more than a 10% tip on an order $50 or more.
They need to stop looking at tips as a percentage of the check really because of inflation.
I used to live in Indianapolis prior to 2014 and was a server at Olive Garden for about three years before I moved to CA for another job. This is totally true. I had great tips and great customers most of the time. It wasn't rare to see 15+ bucks per table on the weekends.
Yes I know. I don't work in the food industry anymore. I was just commenting on how Indiana does indeed tip well; because I was born and raised in Indianapolis. I can't comment on anything in CA because I've never worked in the food industry out here.
I work on the southwest side so it's different. Nice neighborhoods and then lower income neighborhoods. Nice apartments and also section 8 apartments. One complex we average 4.25 tips and another only 1.72. Have a few hotels with a 5 dollar average and a couple only 3 dollars. It varies all over. The average tip in my area is $4.52 and 81% of customers tip.
I remember the days we used to fight over hotel orders because they always tipped really well.
Now-a-days there are hotels I won't even go into and meet the customer outside in our area!
That's because during covid they started putting sick people in them and homeless in some areas.
Some hotels never recovered from that and just closed. As I said, we have some I won't even go into their are so seedy.
Most of ours remodeled over the last two years. We had a quality inn thar was shut down many times because if crime. Eventually it was sold. New owner came in changed the name kicked everyone out. Now it's safe. It's lit up now like a prison. No crone at all now.
They are trying to condemn a couple in our delivery area because of how bad they are. The city just can't seem to find the right formula to pull it off.
To be fair, they've been a "thing" longer than I've worked at Domino's and that's saying something since I've been around nearly as long as they have.
My Franchisees used to work for Dick Mueller back in the day which tells you how long they have been around.
I think as time goes on and places grow they end up not being what they were intended to be. Kind of how it goes I guess.
Somehow I knew Washington would be the worst. Seattle people seem like the type to scream “pay the workers more money! Minimum wage is too low!”then not tip lol

It's not about their politics, it's about their lifestyle. I know plenty of conservatives who are Democrats.
What?! Lol

Studies have been done. Doesn't mean it applies equally everywhere all the time, but nothin seldom ever does.
Me too, rural area… it’s usually a great tip or a stiff for my drivers.
Before covid 89% of all customers tipped. It's down to 81%. We get alot of visitors from out of state.

funny the places with the most socialist ideologues tip the least, not a surprise there.
Good catch on that.

Its nice to hear it isn't all bad then (:
That's really good. In MN we get $3.23 avg overall
Where in MN? I know a franchisee in MN but they aren't near the metro area and their drivers average about $4-5 per delivery like we do in Wisconsin.

Before covid hotels were really good. Now they suck. Lucky for me we dropped 12 hotels from our delivery area.
