Speaker 1: I didn't get to do training news yesterday, so I
Speaker 1: just wanted to do a couple of quick stories. The
Speaker 1: average customer spends one hundred and fifty dollars on unnecessary tips.
Speaker 1: Sixty four percent of people say they've tipped, even for
Speaker 1: poor service. Many psych guilt as the reason why they
Speaker 1: do it, or pressure from the actual tip screens and
Speaker 1: tip prompts on tablets make sixty six percent of people
Speaker 1: feel pressured to actually give a tip, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: tipping is now spread to everywhere.
Speaker 2: It seems like, now.
Speaker 1: That you know that the gas station asked me for
Speaker 1: a tip the other dollar, I went inside to go
Speaker 1: buy you know, my energy drink and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and they actually gave me the thing, and they're like,
Speaker 1: it's I asked you if I wanted to tip the
Speaker 1: guy behind the counter at the gas station.
Speaker 3: I used to be really intimidated by the tip screen,
Speaker 3: like the iPad that they would flip to you, and anymore,
Speaker 3: I really like, if it's something that is not necessary
Speaker 3: for me to give a tip, I just I click
Speaker 3: it to zero.
Speaker 2: Do you really?
Speaker 3: I really do nowadays because I used to. But the
Speaker 3: one that I do agree with on there is if
Speaker 3: you go out to eat, no matter what, even if
Speaker 3: the service is so bad, I always give at least
Speaker 3: twenty percent.
Speaker 1: Well, I feel like the server shouldn't get dinged, but
Speaker 1: they probably should because they probably did a horrible job,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's like always the server. What if it's like the
Speaker 2: cooks are backed up or something, But.
Speaker 1: Then they should come out and explain it to you, true,
Speaker 1: like throw the cook under the bus.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I rot that. I want your honesty.
Speaker 1: I want you to come out and say that, son
Speaker 1: of a you know, I want you to tell me that.
Speaker 1: Don't make it seem like you forgot about me. I
Speaker 1: hate when they forget about you. Remember, speaking of gas stations,
Speaker 1: we talked about the new what is the new gas station?
Speaker 1: That's a Shields Sheets Sheets are opening up. This was
Speaker 1: a survey that was done and they said in the
Speaker 1: survey that wah Wahs and BUCkies are no longer America's
Speaker 1: favorite convenience store. They ranked Quick Trip as America's top
Speaker 1: convenience stores. I don't even know what a quick trip is.
Speaker 1: That's quick with K W I K, but it's like
Speaker 1: a stopping go, like a quick just taking a quick
Speaker 1: trip Quick Trips were number one. Wah wah, and sheets
Speaker 1: tied for second place. Uh, while is this right? There's
Speaker 1: another quick quick trip with a Q uh was right
Speaker 1: behind and BUCkies was low. They actually had BUCkies down low,
Speaker 1: which everybody says that BUCkies is great.
Speaker 2: Are there a lot of BUCkies.
Speaker 3: Though I've never been to the books?
Speaker 1: Uh, everybody wears the merch like everybody, like you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like you see where do people buy it?
Speaker 3: If they step daughter has the pick pajama pants. She
Speaker 3: literally was wearing them last night with the did she
Speaker 3: did she buy him online or something like Amazon?
Speaker 4: Or no?
Speaker 3: She went to a BUCkies when she was down for
Speaker 3: a track and field thing in Texas.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and that's where they got it.
Speaker 1: Forty six percent of workers have considered quitting over emotional exhaustion.
Speaker 1: So this is while fifty percent of people have done that.
Speaker 1: Many people have feel like they're unfulfilled with their jobs
Speaker 1: and they're exhausted. So they actually said that they would
Speaker 1: go in and realize that this wasn't getting any better
Speaker 1: and they quit. Which I think we've had a couple
Speaker 1: of people here that have been emotionally exhausted and that
Speaker 1: was one of the biggest reasons that they decided that
Speaker 1: they didn't want to do this anymore, which I get,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I think once you lose
Speaker 1: your passion of something like I could not imagine doing
Speaker 1: a job, and I've been really blessed to do a
Speaker 1: job that I'm passionate about going to do. But I
Speaker 1: know that there's many people that they just go every
Speaker 1: single day and they show up and it's yeah, I've
Speaker 1: been there. And then this is a wild one. We
Speaker 1: talked about it before Artificial Puppy Love. One in five
Speaker 1: high schoolers have had a romantic AI relationship hip or
Speaker 1: know someone that has. One in five people have actually
Speaker 1: said that they've gone to AI to mess around. We
Speaker 1: did that War of the Roses how many weeks ago,
Speaker 1: and that was the guy there was like a I'm
Speaker 1: having an artificial intelligence, you know, you know affair.
Speaker 2: That's wild.
Speaker 1: Though in high school you would think that high school
Speaker 1: kids would actually have the ability to meet.
Speaker 2: Somebody, but they're not. They're wanting to do it artificially.
Speaker 5: I mean, they're growing up with it, you know, so
Speaker 5: it's more prevalent probably in their everyday lifestyle than it is.
Speaker 1: In would you, like with having kids, would you guys
Speaker 1: make sure your kids are staying away from their computers
Speaker 1: if they're like on their AI friending, like having AI friends?
Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting, Like.
Speaker 1: Does it would that be embarrass you to know that
Speaker 1: your kids had AI friends?
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. It depends.
Speaker 3: It's a time thing. It's not even that they have
Speaker 3: AI friends, it's that they're dedicating their time to something
Speaker 3: that's not real when they could be doing something better
Speaker 3: and real.
Speaker 2: With that time.
Speaker 5: Josiah's mom literally told me earlier this week that he
Speaker 5: was in his room talking and yelling and she was like,
Speaker 5: she went into his room, was like, what's going on
Speaker 5: in there? And he was on chat GPT. I think
Speaker 5: it was with an AI teacher that was giving him
Speaker 5: voice lessons, so as he wants to be a voice actor,
Speaker 5: he was utilizing AI to tell him how to switch
Speaker 5: his tone, how to switch his cadence.
Speaker 3: So okay, see, yeah that's kind of amazing.
Speaker 5: But I think of like, I mean, that's not a friend.
Speaker 5: That's like a lesson. But there's benefits depend on how
Speaker 5: you use it.
Speaker 2: Learning a skill starts with a teacher and with the girlfriend.
Speaker 2: I've seen those movies too, right? Is this weird for
Speaker 2: me to say? Today?
Speaker 1: I cleaned my car out of all of the water
Speaker 1: bottles that I had in the back seat, and I
Speaker 1: brought them in here and I'm gonna make Gina throw
Speaker 1: these away from me.
Speaker 2: But look at how many water bottles I had in
Speaker 2: my back seat in my gosh, you gotta get it.
Speaker 2: You just the bag the bag. And then I'm driving
Speaker 2: down the street and all I hear is that.
Speaker 3: Is one of my absolute pet peeves is when I
Speaker 3: have something in my back seat passenger side that's rolling around.
Speaker 2: This is literally look at look at how hydrated I am? Are?
Speaker 2: They all empty? Though they are? Well? None of this
Speaker 2: one's got one hold on finished. How long has that
Speaker 2: been in there? Bacon's been in my back and I
Speaker 2: don't know? Amanda, what's up? Amanda High?
Speaker 4: Good morning everyone?
Speaker 2: How are you?
Speaker 1: We're great, We're almost at for the weekend. We're almost
Speaker 1: ready for it. What's going on?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: So going back to that tipping thing, I'm a server.
Speaker 4: Tipping has totally gotten out of control the way that
Speaker 4: I see it. We're not debating if servers should get
Speaker 4: a fair hourly wage. We all know that that's not
Speaker 4: that's here north there. But like, let's take a Starbucks employee,
Speaker 4: for example, they get a good hourly wage they get
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's livable anymore.
Speaker 1: And I also yeah, and they also get sometimes there's
Speaker 1: school paid for too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you feel, exactly, you feel guilty to.
Speaker 4: Have to give a tip, right those places where they
Speaker 4: already have a wage that they're getting. Why why do
Speaker 4: I got to tip you? I make three dollars an hour? Yeah,
Speaker 4: like that's you know, that's we're tipping an actual service
Speaker 4: that is being provided.
Speaker 3: You know, there's somebody who goes above and beyond.
Speaker 1: Starbucks, right right, right, absolutely, And we can debate the
Speaker 1: whole carry out thing. You know that the person basically
Speaker 1: threw stuff in a bag, But there's a difference between
Speaker 1: giving a tip to the guy that literally just scooped
Speaker 1: my stuff and Chipotle or the person that literally had
Speaker 1: to make like the the whole sandwich like in sit there.
Speaker 4: And exactly, and that guy is getting a good wage
Speaker 4: to do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. You know, it's funny, is I
Speaker 2: just feel like we're not you know.
Speaker 4: And employees only get three to four dollars an hour.
Speaker 4: I feel if they want that chip so bad make.
Speaker 2: I think the iHeart Radio app should have a tip
Speaker 2: button on there. What do you think about that? Man,
Speaker 2: I would dip y'all.
Speaker 1: Y'all, I'll tell you what you would not, by the way,
Speaker 1: you're a liar, Yes, I would.
Speaker 4: I listen to you guys every single day.
Speaker 5: I would happily send y'all cash app keV knows and
Speaker 5: I will keep them myself.
Speaker 2: That puts the hat down, and if keV does a
Speaker 2: good remix, we'll tip them next
