Circling back: Last week, we told you about a viral video by a TikTok user that introduced his new rule: “If I order standing up, I’m not tipping.” So we asked if you agreed with the rule, and more than 8 out of 10 (82.9%) of you did, while 12% of you said if you order standing up, you still should tip, while 5.2% of you didn’t know or weren’t sure.
