[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 3850376, member: 18222"] [URL='https://www.tripsavvy.com/a-brief-history-of-tipping-1329249']A Brief History of Tipping[/URL] As tipping became widespread in America, many found it to be antithetical to democracy and American ideals of equality. In 1891, journalist Arthur Gaye wrote that a tip should be given to someone "who is presumed to be inferior to the donor, not only in worldly wealth but in social position also." "Tipping and the aristocratic idea it exemplifies is what we left Europe to escape,” William Scott wrote in his 1916 anti-tipping brochure, “[URL='http://www.gutenberg.org/files/33170/33170-h/33170-h.htm']The Itching Palm[/URL],” in which he argued that tipping was as "un-American" as "slavery." In 1904, the Anti-Tipping Society of America sprang up in Georgia, and its 100,000 members signed pledges not to tip anyone for a year. In 1909, Washington became the first of six states to pass an anti-tipping law. But, the new laws rarely were enforced, and, by 1926, every anti-tipping law had been repealed. [/QUOTE]
