All of a sudden, everyone wants a tip. Have you seen the self checkout machines lately? It used to be, you could just pay what came up on the screen.

But, some of those machines are giving you the "option" of leaving a tip for the person behind the register. A lot of people say they feel it just guilts them into leaving 20% for a person that wouldn't normally get a tip.

We saw it turn up at an Apple Store in the last month or so...Now, people are firing back at the "guilt trip" on "guilt tips".

On Ask The Expert, Valerie Sokolosky joined the KRLD Afternoon News. She's an etiquette expert and shares more on why we getting guilted into tipping more.
