Tipping in the touchscreen era: What you need to know

Bankrate released a survey on June 5, 2025, showing widespread negative views on tipping among Americans across various services.
The survey reflects growing dissatisfaction with tipping due to the rise of touchscreen tipping prompts in restaurants, salons, rideshares, and food delivery apps.
The guidelines suggest giving a 20% tip for full-service dining, beauty treatments, and transportation services such as ride-hailing, while a minimum of 15% is appropriate in most other situations.
Senior Industry Analyst Ted Rossman noted that advances in technology have made it more straightforward for companies to implement tip prompts, influencing tipping practices.
The results suggest tipping remains voluntary but increasingly pressured by digital prompts, while 63% of Americans still view tipping negatively.
