Wicker and Wilde remind you to please TIP YOUR SERVERS! However, according to this survey YOU ALREADY DO! We are proud of you RVA. We are hanging with some seriously BIG and RICH cities! As you know servers depend on tips to make money and after being on the job for a while, most develop a good sense about who’s going to be a good tipper and who isn’t. That intuition may come in handy, but a new report reveals which cities have the most generous tippers.
Restaurant software firm Toast looked at metropolitan areas to determine which one is the best tipping city. They looked only at transactions where the tip was added on a credit card or digital payment, so it doesn’t include those paid in cold, hard cash.
The cities with the most generous tippers are:
1. Cleveland: 20.6%
2. Denver: 19.8%
3. Salt Lake City: 19.6%
4. Phoenix: 19.5%
5. Richmond: 19.3%
6. Chicago: 19.3%
7. New Orleans: 19.0%
8. New York: 18.7%
9. Washington, D.C.: 18.6%
10. Seattle: 18.0%
11. Los Angeles: 17.5%
12. San Francisco: 17.0%
Now, we both believe that 20% should be the average for good service but that's us. What are your thoughts on tipping? Rebecca also believes that everyone should be a server at least once in their life to understand what it's like to live on tips! Have a great day and thank you for listening Mon-Fri 5:30a-10a and don't forget about Weekend Wrap Up on Saturday 6a-10a.
