  • Many Americans feel like tipping has gotten out of control and they're doing something about it.

  • A lot of others are also really looking at service and was it good or not?

  • Did they get refills of their drinks?

  • Did they feel like the wine was overpriced or were they acid?

  • give gratuities in other ways, and then they're going to subtract that from the tip.

  • Wall Street Journal readers shared the many different ways they're trying to protect their wallets when dining out.

  • We'll talk with reporter Heather Haddon about some of their tipping strategies after the break.

  • If only life had a remote control, you could pause or rewind.

  • Well, life doesn't always give you time to change the outcome, but prediabetes does.

  • Take the one-minute risk test today at doihaveprediabetes.org.

  • Brought to you by the Ad Council and its prediabetes awareness partners.

  • With so many requests for gratuities these days,

  • it's not surprising many people are trying different ways to reduce how often and how much they tip.

  • More than a thousand readers shared their strategies with WSJ reporter Heather Haddon,

  • who joins me today.

  • Heather,

  • you've been following our tipping behavior for quite some time and have gotten a huge response from readers.

  • Why do you think this resonates so much?
