    Rhetorical Analysis: The Case Against Tipping

    Lewis backs up his next point of believing that customers are often guilted or felt obligated to tip, when they may not have wanted to or even needed to, by providing the example of customers who may think that a workers salary is figured by assuming they are provided with tips while working. Although this example may be true to some readers, Lewis does not include any facts to build logos in his essay nor quotes from any resources or people pertaining to his argument. He includes how cabdrivers could be intimidating when expecting a tip and assuming it will be at least fifteen percent. This example again could relate to a variety of readers and therefore builds good pathos, but is not supported with any evidence or factual information to back up his claim. A concrete example which helps Lewis’s argument is the sign he claims to have read in the back of a cab which said, “Tipping is customary” (21).…
