Basketball player LiAngelo Ball has publicly rejected the customary twenty percent tipping standard, stating his gratuity is based entirely on service quality. He explained on a podcast that even for a four-hundred-dollar meal, he typically leaves a tip of only ten or twenty dollars. Ball argued that the total bill amount should not automatically dictate the gratuity, applying this principle to food delivery services as well.
His brother, Lonzo Ball, offered a contrasting viewpoint during the same discussion, affirming he generally follows the twenty percent guideline. He justified this practice, especially for excellent service during expensive dinners. Their conversation enters an ongoing national debate about tipping norms and compensation for service industry workers.
