Restaurant OWNERS Announce STEEP Service Charge during World Cup Over FEARS Tourists will TIP Badly

The owner of Mission Taqueria, in Philadelphia, announced the extra charge as the United States braces for more than one million visitors expected for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and America's 250th anniversary. In Philadelphia, officials expect more than 500,000 visitors to arrive in the coming weeks, many traveling from Asia, Europe, and Central and South America. Complaints about 'tipflation' have increased in recent years, from both Americans and tourists. Previously, fifteen percent was regarded as a fair amount to add to a check for good service. But in recent years, the 'standard' tip has crept up to 20 percent, with some diners now pressured to tip 25 percent or even more. #usa #worldcup #restaurant
