What state has the worst tippers in America? The answer may surprise you
Think you're a generous tipper? That depends on your ZIP code. Residents of New York and New Jersey are among the stingiest tippers in America, despite boasting some of the nation's highest incomes and priciest restaurant tabs, a new 2025 study shows. The Garden State ranked 35th out of 40 states studied with an average 19.5% gratuity, while New York came in 34th at 19.1% — based on full-service restaurant transactions — landing both near the bottom of BLogic Systems' 2025 'Generosity Index.' Advertisement 4 New Yorkers and New Jerseyans are among the stingiest tippers in America, despite having some of the nation's highest incomes and priciest restaurant tabs, new study shows. Andrii Lysenko – The index, created by the payment processing company, doesn't just measure how much people tip — it weighs average tip percentage against after-tax income to show which states are the most generous relative to what residents are earning. That formula dragged down high-income, high-cost states like New York and New Jersey — because tipping more doesn't count for much if your paycheck is bigger too. Advertisement That's why West Virginia — where an average tip was 21% — made the top of the list. Diners in rural, lower-per capita income states fared far better than their wealthier counterparts. 4 That formula dragged down high-income, high-cost states like New York and New Jersey — because tipping more doesn't count for much if your paycheck is bigger too. New Africa – Kentucky was a close second at 20.7%. California came in dead last, with an average tip of just 17.8%, and the lowest generosity score in the country. New York and New Jersey weren't far behind, joined by other high-income, service-heavy states like Massachusetts and Connecticut. Advertisement It will be a tall order asking New Yorkers to fork over more to move up the index, because tipping fatigue is real. 'Tip fatigue is a real phenomena,' said etiquette expert Diane Gottsman, founder of The Protocol School of Texas. 'People are frustrated when being asked to tip on everything from a cup of coffee to a drive-through bagel.' 4 California came in dead last, with an average tip of just 17.8%, and the lowest generosity score in the country. Meanwhile rural states like West Virginia and Kentucky topped the list. Kalim – 'Etiquette dictates that you show gratitude for good service,' she added. 'But asking for 20 and 25% on a quick counter exchange is not necessary.' Advertisement More than 80% of Americans say tipping has gotten out of control, according to a 2024 PlayUSA survey used in BLogic's analysis. Adding to the fatigue? Both states report higher median hourly earnings for waitstaff — $22.30 in New York and $18.60 in New Jersey, according to federal labor data — which may make some customers feel less pressure to tack on more. The BLogic study used 2025 data on tipping percentages, wage rates, disposable income and public sentiment on 'tipping fatigue' to paint a state-by-state picture of modern tipping behavior. 4 More than 80% of Americans say tipping has gotten out of control, as businesses continue to request tips on 'everything from a cup of coffee to a drive-through bagel.' seanlockephotography – Jay Zagorsky, economist at Boston University Questrom School of Business, said the study shows just how pricey dining out in the Empire State can be. He pointed to federal data showing New York's meal costs and per diem rates are among the highest in the country. 'A 19% tip on a $100 New York City meal is a much larger [dollar amount] than a 21% tip on a similar meal costing $50 in the heartland,' he told The Post. 'Any waiter or bartender good at math should love a 1 or 2 percent reduction in exchange for a bill that is 35% higher.'

Route 80 sinkholes repaired, highway set to fully reopen Saturday, Gov. Phil Murphy says
After months of sinkhole repairs and hellish traffic backups, Route 80 in Morris County will fully reopen this Saturday, June 21, Gov. Phil Murphy said. The eastbound side of the interstate is scheduled to reopen at 9 a.m. Saturday, four days ahead of schedule, Murphy said in a statement. That will follow a final closure of all three eastern lanes starting Friday night to allow for striping and paving. Route 80's westbound lanes reopened June 14, 11 days earlier than the state first predicted. 'I am thrilled to see all lanes of I-80 open safely this weekend so we can ensure that New Jerseyans can get to where they need to go efficiently and safely,' Murphy said. "Importantly, I want to thank the thousands of New Jerseyans who have been impacted by these sinkholes for their patience as we worked to secure this roadway."A portion of the highway near Exit 34 in Wharton first gave way in December, but it was repaired within days. In February, however, another sinkhole forced the closure of the eastbound lanes. On March 19, more voids were discovered under the median, shutting down the westbound lanes. The state has blamed the holes on underground mining shafts, closed decades earlier but never filled. The Transportation Department has estimated the final cost of repairs at $20 million to $25 million. The state pays the upfront costs and then can seek federal assistance. 'The repairs are permanent, and I am confident that the highway is now stronger and safer than it was before the first sinkhole developed," Transportation Commissioner Fran O'Connor said in the statement. "The engineering and magnitude of work that went into stabilizing and strengthening this road for decades to come is truly remarkable.' Route 80 sinkhole detour Eastbound lanes will be shut down for a final time on Friday starting at 9 p.m. Motorists can follow this detour, the Transportation Department said: Motorists on I-80 eastbound are being directed to take Exit 34 to Route 15/Wharton/Dover/Sparta. Stay left to take the exit to I-80 eastbound. At the end of the ramp, stay right, following signs for Route 15/Jefferson/Dover/Sparta/Picatinny Arsenal. Stay in the right lane on North Main Street, following signs for Route 15 North/Jefferson/Sparta. Bear right toward Route 15 northbound/Picatinny Arsenal. At the traffic signal, merge onto Route 15 northbound. Stay left, following signs for Pondview Drive/U and Left Turns. Using both lanes, make a U-turn at the Pondview Drive traffic signal and merge onto Route 15 southbound. Stay left to take the exit to I-80 eastbound.

Ride Smart, Ride in Style: Your Guide to Black Car Service in New Jersey
It is hard to drive in New Jersey. Perhaps you are headed to work in Jersey City, flying out of Newark or you have a night in Manhattan. Getting a reliable transportation may be hectic. That's why black car service in New Jersey is so great—and once you try it, there's no turning back. You will not spend time looking for an unreliable rideshare at a last minute or concern yourself with surge pricing, or a question as to whether your Uber will ever show up. Instead, black car service offers comfort, reliability, and peace of mind. Got a case of the hypes? Or you are simply tired of the uncertainty of travel days? Then read further. We'll show you what black car service is, when you should use it, and why more New Jerseyans are choosing it every day. At its core, a black car service is a professional transportation service that uses high-end sedans and SUVs — and yes, they're usually black. Think of it like having your own personal chauffeur, but without the over-the-top price tag. Unlike rideshare apps, black car companies focus on premium service. Every ride includes: Experienced, well-dressed drivers (no jeans and hoodies here) Clean, comfortable, luxury vehicles On-time pickup and drop-off No surprise pricing or hidden fees It's the kind of service that feels a little extra — but in the best way. There are plenty of good reasons. Black car service isn't just for celebrities or execs in suits. Whether you're a busy parent trying to get to the airport without the chaos, or planning a romantic night out, a premium ride just makes things easier. Here's why it's catching on: Occasionally your taxi is canceled in the end. This won't happen with a Black car service. You make a reservation and the driver arrives just on time every single time. Long journeys are all about big seats, noisy journeys and warm or cool winds on the face of the traveler. Think of the flight Newark to NYC in rush hour for example. Every driver is inspected, trained and holds an appropriate license. It is not a guess and it is not an unsafe ride. Need to stop along the way? No problem. Want round-trip service? Easy. Need a car seat? Just ask during booking. There's nothing worse than rushing to the airport, checking your watch every five minutes. With black car airport service, you can relax. The driver handles traffic and directions while you sip coffee, answer emails, or simply unwind. Most companies serve major airports like: Newark Liberty International (EWR) JFK and LaGuardia Philadelphia Airport (PHL) Teterboro Airport (TEB) for private jets The best part? They track your flight. So if you're delayed, your driver adjusts — no extra charges or stress. It's not all airport runs and meetings. Black car services are ideal for all kinds of moments: Weddings – Arrive in style on the big day Date nights – Make the night even more special Prom or graduations – Safe, elegant rides for teens Corporate meetings – Impress your clients or boss Family outings – No parking or traffic stress Hourly booking: In this case, you book the car per hour and you will be able to retain it as long as you want. It is absolutely suitable when one makes trips when one has to change locations or when one is going sightseeing or in occasions where there are multiple events in a single day. Most reputable companies serve all major towns and connect to New York City, Philly, and beyond. You'll commonly find service in: Jersey City Hoboken Newark Princeton Morristown Montclair Edison Paramus Atlantic City In most instances, you may even order long distance rides to another state, as you will do on a business trip or a weekend vacation. Not all black car companies are built the same. Here's what sets a great one apart: A user-friendly website or mobile app is a must. Booking should only take a couple of minutes. You should get instant, clear booking details — no guessing or confusion. Chauffeurs should be polite, attentive, and know the best routes. A quick text letting you know they've arrived? That's a nice touch — and it's expected. Whether you need a sleek sedan or something bigger for 5+ people, the best companies have a variety of vehicles to fit your group and comfort level. Here's the surprise: It's probably more affordable than you think, especially when comparing it to surge pricing on app-based rides. For airport trips or special events, the price is usually set in advance. That means no surprises, even if the traffic is brutal or your flight is delayed. Many customers report that black car service ends up being just slightly more than a high-end Uber — but with way better service. You also get exactly what you pay for: dependable travel, professional service, and a stress-free experience. Book ahead, especially for airports or weekends – 24–48 hours is a safe bet Mention special needs – like wheelchair access or car seats during booking Confirm pickup time and location the day before Read reviews to find services with consistent 5-star ratings Ask for pricing upfront – transparency is a sign of a quality company Travelling is a stressful experience but the trip does not have to be. A black car service in NJ can book you and the whole journey begins before you enter the vehicle. You either commute or commute occasionally but a clean, quiet car that is chauffeured to a professional makes a lot of difference. A chauffeur driven automobile assists you to be composed and fully prepared to what happens next. The next time you book, do not put up with the stressful ride, instead, book a ride that you really anticipate. Book at an early time, ride luxuriously, and take pleasure in black car ride than in destination. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
