Ina Josipovic's TikTok video sharing her experience garners over 300,000 views, igniting a discussion on the expansion of tipping expectations in various service industries.

Bride-to-be Ina Josipovic was asked to tip on her wedding dress purchase at a boutique, sparking a debate on tipping culture in the US.
Josipovic shared her experience in a TikTok video, which has garnered over 300,000 views and led to a wider discussion on social media about the expansion of tipping expectations in various service industries.
Despite appreciating the stylist’s exceptional service, Josipovic questioned why the store did not compensate their workers through a commission-based system rather than relying on tips from customers.
Josipovic eventually gave a custom tip of $50, approximately 1.5% of the cost of the dress.
Many viewers concurred with Josipovic, finding the request for a tip on a wedding dress purchase unusual and indicative of a tipping culture that is 'out of control'.
