A recent video sharing one woman鈥檚 New Year鈥檚 resolution to no longer tip has gone viral, proving that, for many consumers, tipping has become excessive.

Tip prompts were also added to many other services where tipping had never been customary 鈥� like drive-thru windows and even deli counters. Referred to as 鈥渢ip-flation鈥�, this phenomenon has sparked debate.
