Americans have "tipping fatigue" entering the holidays, experts say

Ubiquitous tip prompts on touchscreens appear to be affecting Americans' propensity to generously tip service workers in the flesh, as was once the norm around the holidays.

The growing number of prompts asking consumers to add gratuities to all manner of bills have worn out Americans on tipping, particularly as inflation chews into their own budgets, a new survey shows. 

Sixty-two percent of Americans say they don't plan to give holiday tips or buy gifts for service workers this year, according to the survey from digital personal finance company Achieve. A different survey from Bankrate last year found that 54% of people planned to tip the people they normally do, including waiters and hairstylists, more generously around the holidays.
