The "Tip Screen" meme refers to the social awkwardness and pressure felt when prompted to leave a tip on digital payment screens in cafes, restaurants, and other service establishments. These screens often present options for tipping percentages or custom amounts, sometimes in full view of the service staff, adding to the pressure. Memes about this experience typically highlight the anxiety or humorously exaggerated reactions people have when deciding how much to tip, often using relatable captions and images. The meme resonates widely due to the commonality of the experience and the blend of humor and social commentary it provides on modern tipping culture.
