WEBVTT - Took Off the Tip

0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.920
<v Speaker 1>O Joe in the Morning Show. Uh, bring this story up.

0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I was just reading it on Reddit. I like to

0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:08.200
<v Speaker 1>start my day on my toilet looking at Reddit and

0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 1>seeing what people are talking about. It's honestly something that

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:16.600
<v Speaker 1>gets me feeling good. And nothing gets a good poop

0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:19.560
<v Speaker 1>out and looking at other people's stuff or am I

0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:22.960
<v Speaker 1>the a holes on Reddit? So tell me if you

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>guys hate the idea that restaurants will put an automatic

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:29.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty percent on your bill for a tip.

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Do you guys hate that idea? I don't mind it

0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 2>because that's probably what I'm giving anyway.

0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:37.159
<v Speaker 3>Unless the service is like amazing, I'll add to it.

0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>But you say, like already included on the check, gratuities

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 1>on the check. But they don't tell you all the time.

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 2>See I always check. Now, Yeah, you got to because

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 2>you got to look for services. I saw it, by the.

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Way, when we were in Chicago last week, that restaurant

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 1>that we went to in Chicago, I saw on the

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>bill that we had there was a twelve dollars Detroit

0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>clean fee. Basically it was the call they call that

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>some kind of Detroit clean fee. But it was like

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 1>it was not tax or anything like that. It was

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.360
<v Speaker 1>like a fee that they have for that. Did you

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 1>also know this?

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Just notice in Chicago they give they charge you for bags.

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Did you see that? If you know if.

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 1>You go to a store, if you go to a store,

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:19.319
<v Speaker 1>they'll say, would you like this in a bag? I'm

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 1>like looking, going why would I not wanted a bag?

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I bought like four bottles of water? How am I

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.039
<v Speaker 1>going to carry four bottles of water like in my arm?

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Like them?

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 3>They charge the charge at and m does charge. It's

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 3>like one of the restaurants we went to in Chicago,

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 3>they already had like a twenty five percent tip added

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:38.119
<v Speaker 3>and it was like additional tip.

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I was like, no, okay, So you guys tell me

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>that you you like it, you like the idea.

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Of that, because I don't mind.

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 4>It's okay, but it will dictate how much I'll add

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 4>on top of it. If you're already getting twenty then

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm not about to put another twenty percent on it.

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 1>So do you if you see that right away, do

0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 1>you then automatically just go you're you know, and you

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 1>point it out to them, or do you.

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 4>Say that's their business, that's their business. I'm just going

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 4>to control what I can control, which is how much

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 4>more uput on it?

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 2>So listen to this story that I read, and read it.

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 1>A customer removed the twenty percent tip, actually removed it,

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.839
<v Speaker 1>said I'm not paying it, and his reasoning behind it

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>was honestly not great.

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:23.360
<v Speaker 2>It was actually bad.

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 1>The restaurant server story is on Reddit right now, sparking

0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>a big debate about the whole idea of putting the

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>actual tip on there. But the woman shared to Reddit

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>that she served a family at a large table and

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the father crossed out the four hundred and fifty dollars

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>built in tip.

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Wow, how much of it? Oh?

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, No, it's a four hundred and fifty dollars

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 1>bills built in tip. So what would that twenty percent

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 1>pag A four hundred and fifty dollars?

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Is that ninety dollars? Yeah?

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Claiming the big brain on bread, claiming poor service, even

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:07.120
<v Speaker 1>though the only mistake was from the kitchen. He later

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 1>told the manager her piercings were trashy and that she

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:16.959
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't work in such a nice place. The case has

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:21.920
<v Speaker 1>highlighted the experience that people have where they feel like

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 1>bold enough to be able to talk about somebody's apparents,

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.239
<v Speaker 1>but also brought up a lot of people talking about

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the idea of twenty percent on there and people putting

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:32.959
<v Speaker 1>twenty percent or restaurants putting twenty percent.

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>He was just it.

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 3>I do find myself because twenty percent is just standard

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 3>to me. Even if I have the crappiest service, I

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 3>still feel obligated to put twenty percent down.

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 2>Do you guys feel that same way, like you had

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 2>you better be at least twenty percent?

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Really, you don't do it at least twenty percent even

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 1>if it's bad service.

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 2>You got at twenty No, I don't really, which I

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 2>hate that I do that way. Oh you just said

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 2>bad service.

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 4>If it's a great experience, yeah, my floor is twenty percent,

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 4>we may go higher if it's bad service.

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not about to feel guilted into doing it if

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>it was really bad. Would you not tip at all?

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.839
<v Speaker 2>No, I'll always tip if they're having a bad day

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 2>at work, just like we have bad days on the radio,

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 2>and you're still getting paid the same. Well, I'm not

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 2>getting paid extra. The tip is extra. No, the tip

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:17.040
<v Speaker 2>is how they make their money.

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 4>But going with your analogy, I'm not getting anything extra.

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 4>They're getting extra by my tip. No, but I think

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 4>what a saying that the tip is what they do

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 4>for their analogy is if I come to work and

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 4>do my job on the radio, I'm getting paid. That's

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 4>my salary. If they go to work and they do

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.720
<v Speaker 4>their job, they get paid. I'm not getting thing.

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:42.839
<v Speaker 2>But what if you have a bad day. That's what

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:43.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying.

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not getting anything extra all right. By the way,

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Kevin never has a bad day day, He's good. What's up, Lisa? Hi?

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.720
<v Speaker 3>Hey, So I'm in Toledo and we have our burger

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:58.279
<v Speaker 3>review guy and he was at Jay Alexander's doing review

0:04:58.440 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 3>and they charge for the carry out?

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 2>Can oh how much I was? It was just under

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 2>two dollars from Can I tell you? Just say a lot?

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 2>Can I tell you something?

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Though? The containers at Ja Alexander's are really like nice containers.

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 2>I know it's weird to say this, they.

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 3>Really they really are.

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 4>But I'd rather just have a basic container.

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Not be charged for it.

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they don't use dirofoam stuff. They use like these plastic,

0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:23.599
<v Speaker 1>nice little containers and stuff.

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I always get myself when I'm when I'm eating there

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 1>and alex salad, I love their salads.

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 2>That's really good.

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.520
<v Speaker 4>That's the thing though, if Jay Alexander in particular, just

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 4>using them as an example.

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 2>So that's what we're on.

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.919
<v Speaker 4>If they want to provide a certain experience, that should

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.360
<v Speaker 4>be on them. I should have to pay for them

0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:41.720
<v Speaker 4>to provide me a good experience.

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 2>That should just be what they do. Crystal, what's up,

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.159
<v Speaker 2>it's moch on the morning? High, good morning.

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes when they have the built in tip, they give

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 3>you crappy service because.

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 2>They know automatically they're going to get that twenty twenty five.

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.159
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if that's the case. That seems very It's interesting.

0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I bet you that there's a little bit of truth

0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 1>to that. You know that they know they're already going

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:02.719
<v Speaker 1>to get their tip.

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 5>I don't like you're waiting for and then you're waiting

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 5>for water or next to coke or bread or whatever

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 5>you need.

0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because they already know what they're going to get

0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:15.040
<v Speaker 1>out of it. Taylor, what's up, it's Mojo in the morning. Hi.

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 5>I just wanted to say, I totally agree with you, Kevin,

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 5>because honestly, like you got that waitress job knowing that

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.839
<v Speaker 5>that's the amount your bait. You are making extra money

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.560
<v Speaker 5>based off your tips. So if you're gonna be rude,

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:31.680
<v Speaker 5>or you're not gonna make sure I have my silverware

0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 5>or extra napkins or make sure my drink filled, like, No,

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 5>I'm not obligated to feel bad about not giving you

0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 5>extra money because I came here to be served and

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:42.160
<v Speaker 5>you're not doing what I asked you to do.

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Wow, it's it's interesting because I always thought that they don't.

0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.160
<v Speaker 1>They only make like a minimum couple dollars an hour

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.600
<v Speaker 1>or something like that, like a nominal fee. I thought

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.160
<v Speaker 1>that the tip was their money because.

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.599
<v Speaker 5>I worked as a waitress myself, and that it's the deal.

0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 5>You come in making a certain amount of money, your

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.720
<v Speaker 5>tips aren't essentially supposed to make up for that. And

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:04.880
<v Speaker 5>at the end of the year when you do your taxes,

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.039
<v Speaker 5>what happened is the government makes up for any money

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.680
<v Speaker 5>that you would have potentially made the make up for the.

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, Morgan disagrees with you? Morgan, what'd you

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 1>want to say?

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Hey, I actually the same thing you said a minute ago.

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.520
<v Speaker 2>They don't make a lot of money at all. You

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 2>may have a day where you make almost nothing.

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:30.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's not I'm not arguing that that's I understand that.

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 4>What I'm saying is if you give bad service, just

0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 4>because you make a lot of money on the tips

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.440
<v Speaker 4>that I provide doesn't mean it actually feel obligated to

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 4>tip you higher.

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm agree with that. Yeah, yea, I will

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 2>say this.

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 1>During this whole thing, the only thing that caught my

0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 1>ear was that Bianca's playing video games over there in

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the corner.
