Fans at the soccer World Cup are struggling with tipping. Many fans are from countries where people do not tip at restaurants. In the USA, tips of up to 20 per cent are common. If diners do not leave a tip, staff can be disappointed. Fans have already spent a lot of money getting to the World Cup. Leaving tips makes their trip more expensive. Some fans are complaining about "tipping fatigue". They say they have to tip when they buy a bottle of water.
Restaurant staff are also struggling. Tips make up for their very low wages. Workers' wages can be as low as $2.13 per hour. Many staff say it is impossible to survive as a restaurant worker without tips. In many cities, restaurant owners are adding tips to their bills. The owners say many international visitors do not know about the tipping culture in the USA. In some restaurants, staff are explaining to diners the reasons for tipping.
