The claim: Tipping became popular in the United States because restaurant owners didn t want to pay Black workers after the ratification of the 15th Amendment
Funding service industry wages through customer tips has long been the norm in the United States. The practice has a history tracing back to Europe and was codified in the United States in 1938 and 1966, after more acceptance largely from restaurant and railroad industries following the Civil War.
A Nov. 24 tweet from UberFacts said: Tipping became popular in the U.S., in part, because restaurant owners didn t want to pay black Americans after the ratification of the 15th Amendment. This way, owners could set a $0 wage for waiters and rely on voluntary tips from customers to pay them.

Harassment is all too common
Halloween night this year found me at work and dressed as Rosie the Riveter: denim, heels, the iconic red bandana. I was busy stacking clean glasses behind the bar top when someone said: “Hey, Barbecue! Are you a sweet sauce, or are ya spicy?”
Two men were grinning at me from across the counter. I remembered the patch on the front of my shirt, which said “Atlanta’s Best BBQ,” so “Barbecue” must mean me. “Ha-ha,” I responded unconvincingly. I can hardly breathe for laughing. I’d been startled, though unsurprised, by the rude behavior; I had seen it before, and I will see it again. Perhaps Halloween night stands out to me because of the irony: There I was, dressed as a feminist icon, receiving unsavory comments from a couple of drunk men. “Sweet or spicy?”
Washington, DC – Last month, after she finished serving a large order at the restaurant where she works in the United States capital, Raquel received a shock: her customer had written the word “negative” on his bill – and left her no tip.
“Biden will solve all,” another handwritten message on the bill read.
The note horrified Raquel, who only shared her middle name with Al Jazeera in fear of retaliation. It was something she had never experienced in her two years working at the restaurant. She said she believes she received those messages because she is Hispanic.
The incident took place the day after thousands of supporters of President Donald Trump congregated in the city for the Million MAGA March on November 14. Many, if not most, had travelled from across the country to support Trump and his bid to overturn the US election results.
