It surfaces because of peoples' increasing displeasure over the business community, that has been trying to pressure customers to give higher and higher tips and to tip for services that, in the past, they have never even asked for a tip. Many people do not like being pressured by a business to provide a tip that they don't think is warranted. The tip jars have been replaced by a touch screen that asks the customer for a tip and even suggests the amount of the tip. Some people feel intimidated by this, but others don't. Recently, tipping has been a national news story.
