Speaker 1: O Joe in the Morning Show. Uh, bring this story up.
Speaker 1: I was just reading it on Reddit. I like to
Speaker 1: start my day on my toilet looking at Reddit and
Speaker 1: seeing what people are talking about. It's honestly something that
Speaker 1: gets me feeling good. And nothing gets a good poop
Speaker 1: out and looking at other people's stuff or am I
Speaker 1: the a holes on Reddit? So tell me if you
Speaker 1: guys hate the idea that restaurants will put an automatic
Speaker 1: twenty percent on your bill for a tip.
Speaker 2: Do you guys hate that idea? I don't mind it
Speaker 2: because that's probably what I'm giving anyway.
Speaker 3: Unless the service is like amazing, I'll add to it.
Speaker 1: But you say, like already included on the check, gratuities
Speaker 1: on the check. But they don't tell you all the time.
Speaker 2: See I always check. Now, Yeah, you got to because
Speaker 2: you got to look for services. I saw it, by the.
Speaker 1: Way, when we were in Chicago last week, that restaurant
Speaker 1: that we went to in Chicago, I saw on the
Speaker 1: bill that we had there was a twelve dollars Detroit
Speaker 1: clean fee. Basically it was the call they call that
Speaker 1: some kind of Detroit clean fee. But it was like
Speaker 1: it was not tax or anything like that. It was
Speaker 1: like a fee that they have for that. Did you
Speaker 1: also know this?
Speaker 2: Just notice in Chicago they give they charge you for bags.
Speaker 2: Did you see that? If you know if.
Speaker 1: You go to a store, if you go to a store,
Speaker 1: they'll say, would you like this in a bag? I'm
Speaker 1: like looking, going why would I not wanted a bag?
Speaker 1: I bought like four bottles of water? How am I
Speaker 1: going to carry four bottles of water like in my arm?
Speaker 2: Like them?
Speaker 3: They charge the charge at and m does charge. It's
Speaker 3: like one of the restaurants we went to in Chicago,
Speaker 3: they already had like a twenty five percent tip added
Speaker 3: and it was like additional tip.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was like, no, okay, So you guys tell me
Speaker 1: that you you like it, you like the idea.
Speaker 2: Of that, because I don't mind.
Speaker 4: It's okay, but it will dictate how much I'll add
Speaker 4: on top of it. If you're already getting twenty then
Speaker 4: I'm not about to put another twenty percent on it.
Speaker 1: So do you if you see that right away, do
Speaker 1: you then automatically just go you're you know, and you
Speaker 1: point it out to them, or do you.
Speaker 4: Say that's their business, that's their business. I'm just going
Speaker 4: to control what I can control, which is how much
Speaker 4: more uput on it?
Speaker 2: So listen to this story that I read, and read it.
Speaker 1: A customer removed the twenty percent tip, actually removed it,
Speaker 1: said I'm not paying it, and his reasoning behind it
Speaker 1: was honestly not great.
Speaker 2: It was actually bad.
Speaker 1: The restaurant server story is on Reddit right now, sparking
Speaker 1: a big debate about the whole idea of putting the
Speaker 1: actual tip on there. But the woman shared to Reddit
Speaker 1: that she served a family at a large table and
Speaker 1: the father crossed out the four hundred and fifty dollars
Speaker 1: built in tip.
Speaker 2: Wow, how much of it? Oh?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, No, it's a four hundred and fifty dollars
Speaker 1: bills built in tip. So what would that twenty percent
Speaker 1: pag A four hundred and fifty dollars?
Speaker 2: Is that ninety dollars? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Claiming the big brain on bread, claiming poor service, even
Speaker 1: though the only mistake was from the kitchen. He later
Speaker 1: told the manager her piercings were trashy and that she
Speaker 1: shouldn't work in such a nice place. The case has
Speaker 1: highlighted the experience that people have where they feel like
Speaker 1: bold enough to be able to talk about somebody's apparents,
Speaker 1: but also brought up a lot of people talking about
Speaker 1: the idea of twenty percent on there and people putting
Speaker 1: twenty percent or restaurants putting twenty percent.
Speaker 2: He was just it.
Speaker 3: I do find myself because twenty percent is just standard
Speaker 3: to me. Even if I have the crappiest service, I
Speaker 3: still feel obligated to put twenty percent down.
Speaker 2: Do you guys feel that same way, like you had
Speaker 2: you better be at least twenty percent?
Speaker 1: Really, you don't do it at least twenty percent even
Speaker 1: if it's bad service.
Speaker 2: You got at twenty No, I don't really, which I
Speaker 2: hate that I do that way. Oh you just said
Speaker 2: bad service.
Speaker 4: If it's a great experience, yeah, my floor is twenty percent,
Speaker 4: we may go higher if it's bad service.
Speaker 1: I'm not about to feel guilted into doing it if
Speaker 1: it was really bad. Would you not tip at all?
Speaker 2: No, I'll always tip if they're having a bad day
Speaker 2: at work, just like we have bad days on the radio,
Speaker 2: and you're still getting paid the same. Well, I'm not
Speaker 2: getting paid extra. The tip is extra. No, the tip
Speaker 2: is how they make their money.
Speaker 4: But going with your analogy, I'm not getting anything extra.
Speaker 4: They're getting extra by my tip. No, but I think
Speaker 4: what a saying that the tip is what they do
Speaker 4: for their analogy is if I come to work and
Speaker 4: do my job on the radio, I'm getting paid. That's
Speaker 4: my salary. If they go to work and they do
Speaker 4: their job, they get paid. I'm not getting thing.
Speaker 2: But what if you have a bad day. That's what
Speaker 2: I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm not getting anything extra all right. By the way,
Speaker 1: Kevin never has a bad day day, He's good. What's up, Lisa? Hi?
Speaker 3: Hey, So I'm in Toledo and we have our burger
Speaker 3: review guy and he was at Jay Alexander's doing review
Speaker 3: and they charge for the carry out?
Speaker 2: Can oh how much I was? It was just under
Speaker 2: two dollars from Can I tell you? Just say a lot?
Speaker 2: Can I tell you something?
Speaker 1: Though? The containers at Ja Alexander's are really like nice containers.
Speaker 2: I know it's weird to say this, they.
Speaker 3: Really they really are.
Speaker 4: But I'd rather just have a basic container.
Speaker 2: Not be charged for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't use dirofoam stuff. They use like these plastic,
Speaker 1: nice little containers and stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I always get myself when I'm when I'm eating there
Speaker 1: and alex salad, I love their salads.
Speaker 2: That's really good.
Speaker 4: That's the thing though, if Jay Alexander in particular, just
Speaker 4: using them as an example.
Speaker 2: So that's what we're on.
Speaker 4: If they want to provide a certain experience, that should
Speaker 4: be on them. I should have to pay for them
Speaker 4: to provide me a good experience.
Speaker 2: That should just be what they do. Crystal, what's up,
Speaker 2: it's moch on the morning? High, good morning.
Speaker 3: Sometimes when they have the built in tip, they give
Speaker 3: you crappy service because.
Speaker 2: They know automatically they're going to get that twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's the case. That seems very It's interesting.
Speaker 1: I bet you that there's a little bit of truth
Speaker 1: to that. You know that they know they're already going
Speaker 1: to get their tip.
Speaker 5: I don't like you're waiting for and then you're waiting
Speaker 5: for water or next to coke or bread or whatever
Speaker 5: you need.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they already know what they're going to get
Speaker 1: out of it. Taylor, what's up, it's Mojo in the morning. Hi.
Speaker 5: I just wanted to say, I totally agree with you, Kevin,
Speaker 5: because honestly, like you got that waitress job knowing that
Speaker 5: that's the amount your bait. You are making extra money
Speaker 5: based off your tips. So if you're gonna be rude,
Speaker 5: or you're not gonna make sure I have my silverware
Speaker 5: or extra napkins or make sure my drink filled, like, No,
Speaker 5: I'm not obligated to feel bad about not giving you
Speaker 5: extra money because I came here to be served and
Speaker 5: you're not doing what I asked you to do.
Speaker 1: Wow, it's it's interesting because I always thought that they don't.
Speaker 1: They only make like a minimum couple dollars an hour
Speaker 1: or something like that, like a nominal fee. I thought
Speaker 1: that the tip was their money because.
Speaker 5: I worked as a waitress myself, and that it's the deal.
Speaker 5: You come in making a certain amount of money, your
Speaker 5: tips aren't essentially supposed to make up for that. And
Speaker 5: at the end of the year when you do your taxes,
Speaker 5: what happened is the government makes up for any money
Speaker 5: that you would have potentially made the make up for the.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Morgan disagrees with you? Morgan, what'd you
Speaker 1: want to say?
Speaker 2: Hey, I actually the same thing you said a minute ago.
Speaker 2: They don't make a lot of money at all. You
Speaker 2: may have a day where you make almost nothing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not I'm not arguing that that's I understand that.
Speaker 4: What I'm saying is if you give bad service, just
Speaker 4: because you make a lot of money on the tips
Speaker 4: that I provide doesn't mean it actually feel obligated to
Speaker 4: tip you higher.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm agree with that. Yeah, yea, I will
Speaker 2: say this.
Speaker 1: During this whole thing, the only thing that caught my
Speaker 1: ear was that Bianca's playing video games over there in
Speaker 1: the corner.
Speaker 2: I thought that was probably college like video games.
Speaker 1: I'm like, all of a sudden, going, wait a second,
Speaker 1: I think this topic is overlaked
Speaker 2: Man
