International fans visiting the US for the World Cup have become frustrated by the culture of having to tip servers, telling the BBC that tipping fatigue has set in.
What if as a customer I am not satisfied with the product? I certainly will not leave a tip and it may not be the employee’s fault, but he is the only one who will not be paid.

I know it’s not the same (not even close), but how do employees feel when they work, are not paid, and depend on the kindness of the customer?
