Many restaurants are implementing automatic gratuities of 20% to ensure servers are adequately compensated, as the U.S. system often relies on tips to meet minimum wage requirements. Meanwhile, foreign fans are also positively impacting local communities, with notable instances of cultural exchange, appreciation for American amenities, and a tradition of cleaning up public spaces after events.
