‘I haven’t even looked at a human being in the eye since I sat down’: Woman says she was asked to tip 30% on a $20 salad

Tipping culture pushed one woman beyond her tipping point, and she used TikTok to vent about it.

In a viral video with over 249,200 views, Taryn Lamb (@therealtarnanlamb) explained how one restaurant experience made her reevaluate the validity of tipping.

"Can we talk about tipping for a sec?" she began in the clip. "Because I fear we might have taken this too far in some cases."

She offered background before exploring what forced her to be more critical about tipping culture.
