In a bid to boost their wages, New York food servers are now suggesting diners leave tips of up to 30per cent.
With many U.S. restaurants permitted to pay staff as little as $2.15 per hour, workers often rely on service charges to supplement their income.
But following an increase to 20per cent over recent years, the average tip rate is set to rise again.
An article in today's New York Post reveals that 'gratuities can run to 25 or even 30per cent, a number that might have been laughed off just a few years ago.'
Steve Dublanica - a former waiter and author of tipping guides Keep the Change and Waiter Rant - confirmed that the 'tip creep' phenomenon has plagued restaurant-goers for decades.
