Today on the show we talk about tipping (again). We talk about how tipping has become more common in various establishments like grocery stores, self-checkout machines, and fast-food restaurants, which previously didn't ask for tips. We talk about how the pandemic has contributed to increased tipping as a way to support essential workers during a time of crisis but now there's confusion and frustration about when and how much to tip, especially in places where tipping wasn't customary before. We get into a lively little argument (again) about tipping. The debate revolved around whether tipping should be based on the quality of service or as a means to supplement low wages for service workers. Brandon wants clearer guidelines and transparency regarding tipping practices to alleviate consumer confusion. Some people feel pressured to tip out of guilt or fear of retaliation, highlighting issues with the current tipping culture. Larry thinks that tipping should be viewed as a form of insurance against potential food mishandling or poor service. Overall, this episode highlights the complexities and ambiguities surrounding tipping in modern society.
What is the new etiquette for tipping?
