Americans are skipping out on tipping more than they used to. In 2020 and 2021, more than a third of Americans pledged to become better tippers, but it appears that sentiment is gone, according to a new survey from CreditCards.com.

Blame a combination of inflation limiting customers' purchasing power and short-staffed businesses struggling to provide "top-notch" experiences, said Ted Rossman, senior industry analyst at CreditCards.com.

The survey found the amount of Americans who "always tip" decreased in 2022 compared to 2019 levels for all of the following service industry employees: sit-down restaurants, food delivery people, taxi and rideshare drivers, hotel housekeepers and coffee shop baristas.

In 2022, the amount of Americans that always tipped restaurant servers was 73%, followed by food delivery people, 57%, taxi and rideshare drivers, 43%, hotel housekeepers, 27% and coffee shop baristas, 22%.

Meanwhile in 2019, 77% of Americans "always" tipped restaurant servers followed by food delivery workers, 63%, taxi and rideshare drivers, 49%, hotel housekeepers saw the same amount as 2022, 27% and coffee shop baristas, 24%.

The one bright spot — hairstylists and barbers. In this category, two thirds of Americans (66%) say they always tip, compared to 63% in 2019 and 2021.

However, there was a stark difference for leaving tips when it comes to self-pickup for takeout food. In 2021, as restaurants were struggling to recover, 17% Americans always left a tip, compared to 13% this year so far.

Age, gender, total income impacts tipping

It turns out Gen Zers are more generous with tips compared to millennials. Gen Zers typically leave a 26% tip, while millennials leave 24%. Gen Xers and boomers are a bit more frugal. Gen Xers leave an average tip of 20%, and boomers give 19% on average.

The survey also found that more than four in 10, 43% of combined Gen Z and millennial restaurant goers "leave nothing at least some of the time."

And it turns out that men are are a tad more generous. The median tip for both genders is 20% at restaurants. However, men typically give 22%, while women typically give 20%. However, men are more likely to leave nothing.
