TikToker\u2019s video on how much she makes in tips backfires: \u201cI\u2019m now tipping less\u201d TikTok: amanda4xxA TikToker revealed how much she made while working a three-hour shift at Texas Roadhouse, shocking viewers and leaving many claiming they\u2019ll be tipping less. Tipping etiquette is a hot discussion that often pops up on TikTok. It may be optional in name, yet tipping makes up a large part of service workers\u2019 salaries in America. Leaving without doing so is bound to result in some disgruntled waitstaff. While a 15-20% tip is considered standard, anything under 20% is often seen as a \u201cbad tip.\u201d Now, however, many users of the platform believe they may have been tipping too much after a Texas Roadhouse server shared how much she made in tips working a three-hour shift. TikToker Amanda, who goes by \u2018amanda4xx\u2019 on the platform, posted a video showing she made $150.14 in tips alone. Added to her hourly, this came to an impressive $59 an hour. Viewers were left in disbelief, with many deciding to tip less as a result. One wrote, \u201cDamn I\u2019ve been tipping 20-25% tip based on my service now I\u2019m gonna do 15-18% now [sic].\u201d Another commenter was also bitter over the amount, especially compared to their own earnings; \u201cMeanwhile, people like me doing construction making $30. Yeah, this checks out. you\u2019ve convinced me to tip less.\u201d Unbothered by the backlash, Amanda posted a follow-up video in which she continued to surprise viewers. This time, she made $164.94 in tips over the course of a four-hour shift, averaging $50 an hour. She also revealed her hourly pay was $36. However, it seems Amanda\u2019s experience isn\u2019t universal. One commenter wrote, \u201cWhen I worked at Texas Roadhouse we had to tip share and the base pay for a server was like $2.13.\u201d Another agreed, replying, \u201cSame! I made like $4 an hour. And then all tips went in a hat and [split] at the end of shift for the whole crew.\u201d Considering that the average hourly pay for a server in the US is $7.45, you might just want to reconsider lowering your tip.
