not tipping

Skipping server payment

Not tipping is the practice of declining to leave a gratuity for service workers.

In American culture, where tipping is expected, not tipping signals dissatisfaction with service—or marks someone as cheap: He's notorious for not tipping.

In countries without tipping culture, the practice is neutral or even preferred.
