7
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: long did you do it? I did it often on

8
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: for many years, but man, I was Yeah, I waited

9
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: tables for many years as well, in many uh several

10
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: different states, in different many different kinds of restaurants. So

11
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: I have a pretty wide range of experience with being tipped.

12
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: How are you doing? It's great? Now? Are you? Are

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: for for me to you steer clear that O J?

15
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: Guy pal, oh J. Simpson. Yeah, there's from a Dave

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: Letterman top ten from the nineties something about tipping, and

17
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: one of them was like, here's a tips, steer clear

18
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: of that, o J. Fellow Pal, I'm glad we're staying

19
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: relevant as always. I'm not trying to move it on.

20
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: I just thought, since you said he didn't have an intro,

21
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: I would document a little bit of my history as

22
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: a waiter, and he did great man. Remember what's his name,

23
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: the guy from Scrubs and Gardens State. For some reason,

24
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: I always think he was perfect at being that waiter.

25
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: For some reason, it was just like whenever I think

26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: of waiters and then I think of l A, I

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: think of that character. Yeah, the scene at the beginning

28
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: and the end of it. I think that was really

29
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: based on his experience as a waiter. He wore a

30
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: lot of eyeliner in the early two thousand. Guyliner. So

31
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: what that's called? You never heard that phrase? No? Yeah?

32
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: Uh so tipping, Josh, this was You've been pushing this

33
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: one for a while and it never got done for

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: various reason. And I'm glad we got around to it

35
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: because I will be one that people it's ubiquitous and

36
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: we'll get tons and tons of email about this, I

37
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: guarantee it. Yeah, and it's gonna be helpful because in

38
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: several points we tell you to go to trip Advisor

39
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: to look up tipping customs. So yeah, that's helpful. Well,

40
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: it's hard to cover tipping customs because they're different everywhere

41
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: and for each job, and it's gets so overwhelming you

42
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: just have to end up saying hey, if you're going

43
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: to this country, look it up, or apparently you need

44
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: to go through life like Jimmy Conway and Goodfellas and

45
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: tip absolutely every single person you see your mechanic. Did

46
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: you see that? Did you know you're supposed to tip

47
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: your mechanic bucks or more for jobs like, Hey, thanks

48
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: for overcharging me and exploiting my ignorance of my car

49
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: and how it functions. Here's an extra twenty bucks your mechanic. Yeah, well,

50
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: you know what since you brought that up. Uh, there

51
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: was a saw on ad you see questionnaire is tipping

52
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: out of control? And of people say it is. I disagree,

53
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: you don't think it's out of control. After reading this,

54
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I'm way cheaper than I realized. Um,

55
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: and this is just a question I thought was interesting.

56
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: What services bother you the most that you were obliged

57
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: to tip? Of people said bathroom attendance. Oh, I don't

58
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: tip them. That's at the top of my list. I

59
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: don't want a bathroom attendance. Well, yeah, I can get

60
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: my own. Well it makes me want to not watch

61
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: my hands. It makes me just want to get out

62
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: of there. Uh. Take out food tipping it irks people

63
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: to pay for like when you get a takeout order,

64
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: like when you go there and they just turn around

65
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: and get your food and handed to you in a

66
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: bag you like when you call it in, I do?

67
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: Do you really? Yeah? Okay? What else? Salons? Well, yeah,

68
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: of people don't like tipping the salon because women say

69
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: it's just endless because you gotta tip your colors and

70
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: the people who I can see that. And then the

71
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: tip jars at coffee houses. I rarely patronize those as well,

72
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: coffee houses or tip jars, And the reason being is, um,

73
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: I I'm sure I will be taken to task for this.

74
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: I don't think people in coffee houses are paid the

75
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: tipped wage. They're not, so I looked at it. I

76
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: might as well walk around with the tip jar and

77
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: ask people to give me their change. I'll even wear

78
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: a change belt. How about that. Don't make it easier

79
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: on you? Well, why would you even have a tip

80
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: jar there if you're not getting paid the tipped wage.

81
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: That brings up a big point because that is a

82
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: big controversy. People at Starbucks start out about eight fifty

83
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: to nine bucks an hour. Is that that's a minimum

84
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: wage that's above the minimum wage just I think is

85
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: a minimum wage. Now the tipped the Fair Standards and

86
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: Labor Act, the minimum federal hourly wage for tipped employees

87
00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: is yes, yes, those people although usually getting tipped. Yeah, no,

88
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't know not necessarily. No. Well, most states have

89
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,119
Speaker 1: their own and it's more than two thirteen. I didn't

90
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: get that most states too. I know. The pinnacle is

91
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: Colorado and they have like a minimum tipped wage of

92
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: four thirteen an hour, and that's what everybody's like, Wow,

93
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: Colorado is really killing it. UM. I know here in

94
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: Georgia it's the it's the federal minimum. And there's a

95
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: group called fairy eats dot org that's dedicated to UM

96
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: shaming restaurants that that just adhere to that by celebrating

97
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: restaurants that pay their employees more than the minimum federal

98
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: minimum tipped wage. Well, you're supposed to make up the

99
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: difference as a restaurant from what employees claim to the

100
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: I r S and their tipped money. If that doesn't

101
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: equal minimum wage, then the restaurateur is supposed to make

102
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: up that difference in wages. I would I would wager

103
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: that that does not happen. Well, I would wager that

104
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: not many tipped employees are reporting all of their tips either.

105
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: It's true too, so it's kind of like you have to,

106
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: you have to, and then both just kind of storm

107
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: away disgruntled. But you don't tip McDonald's and for the

108
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: same reason I don't tip people at coffee houses because

109
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: it's the same thing. You are putting your my order

110
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: in right into a cash register or cash register computing machine, um,

111
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: and you're turning around and grabbing my coffee or my

112
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: my fries or whatever, right, And I'm not demeaning or

113
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: diminishing that job whatsoever, Like I'm very happy that you're

114
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: doing that because I really want that. And you're standing

115
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: between me and the fries, right, so hand him over.

116
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: I'll give you this money. But you make like maybe

117
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: you got health benefits. Sucks. So in my opinion, we

118
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: can either entirely do away with tipping by raising everybody

119
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: to at least the minimum wage, and while we're at it,

120
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: let's also maybe double the minimum wage because it's laughable.

121
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: Will still right, um, and just do away with tipping,

122
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: just go totally Japan, or or we need to really

123
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: make it clear who's depending on tips and who's not,

124
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: And these jokers at coffee houses need to get rid

125
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: of the tip jar and they need to stop calling

126
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: it karma, which I think we went over in the

127
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: Karma karmajar or whatever. Yeah, that's kind of that's that's

128
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: so aggressive guilty, you think. All right, So that was

129
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: our intro tipping. So let's talk about where this often

130
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: vilely exploited act came from. Chuck, go ahead, Well, I

131
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: feel like I was on a rant. I was too.

132
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: I'm just joking, okay. Um, Well, let's see. Tipping they

133
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: think has its origins in about the sixteenth century in Europe,

134
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,679
Speaker 1: where if you went and visited a friend, a relative

135
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: of colleague, you went to their house. Uh, you would

136
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: often tip their servants, especially if you got really drunk

137
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: and soiled yourself and they cleaned you up. You might

138
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: be like, here's a couple of pieces of gold, let's

139
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: just keep this between you and me, okay, and they would,

140
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: and over time it became much less of a way

141
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: to um show your appreciation as something that was expected

142
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: and depended on. Right. Once you start kind of giving

143
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: money in a customary manner, people start to include that

144
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: in their budgets, right, Um, So they think that that's

145
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: possibly where the custom came from, Right Yeah. I don't

146
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: even think that this acronym thing is even valid at all. No,

147
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: and it's not. There's a guy named Steve Doblonica who's

148
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: written books on tipping, and he's got some pretty good

149
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: research down. And you want to say the acronym uh

150
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: t I P two in ensure with an eye promptness,

151
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: but that's just there's no no, because number one acronyms

152
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: didn't really come into use until the nineteen twenties. Yeah,

153
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: they weren't using acronyms in the sixteenth century. And the

154
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: word tip itself has been around for long before that.

155
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: And like you said, it should be it shouldn't be

156
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: tipped ensure with an eye, it should be ensure with

157
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: an E. So there's a lot wrong with that. What

158
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: they think is that tipping um originally came from the

159
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: uh this kind of word among thieves, which is how

160
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: we use it today, like you tip somebody off, that

161
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: it basically to give something right, and it was just

162
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: basically common thieves slang um. But then the act of

163
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: tipping itself also came from either the servants from tipping servants,

164
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: or it also was it grew out of giving money

165
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: to somebody who worked at the bar to buy their

166
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: own drink as well. Get a drink for yourself on me.

167
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: And in fact, the word tip in Slavic languages translates

168
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: roughly to drinking money. I like that one. The word

169
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: for tip in French is poor beer pour boi, which

170
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: means for drinking and um. Basically everywhere else except in English,

171
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: the word tip means drinking money. So that's probably where

172
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: tipping came from. I like that origin. Here, I'm having

173
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: a good time, I had a few drinks. Go by

174
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: yourself one exactly, it's just spreading the joy. Or I'm

175
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: at my buddy's house and I've drank until I soiled myself.

176
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: Here's some money for cleaning me up last night. I

177
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,599
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I don't know about the train spotting the

178
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: origin of tipping. Yeah, so this is this is probably

179
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: where tipping came from. And uh, a little more history

180
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: if you don't mind chuckers um, you can pretty much

181
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: pinpoint how tipping became accustomed in the United States because

182
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: it was all a raged In Europe, it was not

183
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: caught on here in the US. Even though a lot

184
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: of wealthy Americans were traveling to Europe and coming back

185
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: and tipping, people were like, what are you doing? Like, sure,

186
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,599
Speaker 1: give me your money, but I'm not gonna do the

187
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: same thing until the Pullman Company, the Pullman rail car company,

188
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: figured out that they could grossly underpay their porters by

189
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: publicizing that they relied on tips to survive. And basically

190
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: the Pullman Company cut almost three million dollars in the

191
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 1: in the like late nineteenth century, there was a lot

192
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: of money from their payroll by basically relying on their

193
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: customers good hearts to take care of their porters for him.

194
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: It is when you think about it in those terms,

195
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: it is sort of a dirty business. It's like, hey,

196
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: we don't want to pay our employees. They're serving you,

197
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: so you pay them. But like you're the one reaping

198
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,119
Speaker 1: all the reward of the five dollar cup of coffee,

199
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Yeah, And a lot of

200
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: a lot of restaurants, or a lot of people in

201
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: the on the restaurant side of this debate, say, well,

202
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: if we start raising their wages to like the minimum wager,

203
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: even like double the tip wage, Um, we're gonna go

204
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: wonder And apparently some studies have found that that's actually

205
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: not the case that they can come out on top

206
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: because restaurant owners spend so much money on training through

207
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: turnover because the wages are so low that people just

208
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: hop from job the job wherever they can get the

209
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: most tips. If you can offer a higher stable wage,

210
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna have much less turnover and ultimately in the

211
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: long run, you may come out on top as a

212
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: restaurant owner. It's so interesting. Possibly that's one sign. You know,

213
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: who pays the customer? Yeah? Us, because middle class you

214
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: pay the five bucks for a cup of coffee, which

215
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: the company gets they don't have to pay. Well, they

216
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: do pay their employee minimum wage, but that ain't much

217
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: and then they get the little tip on top of

218
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: that and you end up paying six for your cup

219
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: of coffee. And you know what now that you're you're

220
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: bringing this up, you mean I were at Caribou and um,

221
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: they have I love Caribou coffee, right, But they had

222
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: this promo where it was like beans for the Troops

223
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: or something like that, and it was like, hey, go

224
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: ahead and uh and buy this this fifteen dollar pound

225
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: of coffee and we'll send them to the troops. And um,

226
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: we asked if they were selling them at a discount,

227
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: like if the Caribou was doing anything. They were like, no,

228
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: this is a regular price. And we're like, so wait

229
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: a minute, you're exploiting Americans affinity and affection for the

230
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: troops as a way to you know, beef up your

231
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: on ground bean sales. That was disgusting. If you ask me,

232
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: it happens. That's gross. At that board meeting is the

233
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: gross part where that's decided, you know, where we can

234
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: really reckon right, all right, I knew this would be

235
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: a lightning rod. This is just us are going to get. Ohoy, Well,

236
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: since you brought it up, it is a lightning rod. Period.

237
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: If you go on the internet and you start looking

238
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: about tipping, you will find two camps. People that work

239
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: for tips that are outraged that people don't want to

240
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: tip or the under tip, and then people that say

241
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: it is out of control. Every you know, you go

242
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: on a vacation, you staying in a hotel and need

243
00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: a restaurants, you're Jimmy Conway. I again, like I was

244
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: reading this, I'm like, oh man, dude, do other people

245
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: tip all these people because I feel like a real

246
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: jerk in some of these cases I do, and I

247
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: end up feeling like a sucker. And then you know

248
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: what I thought. I was like, well, I never carry cash,

249
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: it's all plastic, so surely plastic leading to a decline

250
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: in tipping. I did a search for that. No, No,

251
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: All I could find was that most people carry plastic

252
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: and a little bit of currency for tips. I'm like,

253
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: oh man, I really have to get on the ball here.

254
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: All right. They've actually done a lot of studying about tips. Yeah,

255
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: why do we do this? That's the psychology tipping, as

256
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: it were, Well, um, one is out of guilt. Yeah,

257
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: wasn't that one of the reasons. Uh well yeah not supposedly.

258
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: If you think about tipping, the whole idea is that

259
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: you're doing it out of gratitude, like you did a

260
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: really good job, and I want to make sure that

261
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: you have, um, this extra little bit go buy yourself

262
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: something nice on me, or I want to ensure because

263
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: I come back to you that I will get same

264
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: service when I come back. Right, So really it's um

265
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: what they're finding is that it's guilt and fear, Like

266
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: you know that people rely on these tips, and part

267
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: of your role as customer in some circumstances is to

268
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: pay these people their salary that they're depending on the tips.

269
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: Or you're afraid that they're gonna pe in your soup

270
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: and you're basically saying, here's some money, um, please don't

271
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: pe in my soup, and they say, all right, that

272
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it. That that that takes care of

273
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: the no pea soup levy. Yeah, but the tip comes

274
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: after the soup. Yeah, but you may be back there again, okay, right, Yes.

275
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: The Center pro Hospitality at Cornell University, UH, they've done

276
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: some research there and I thought this was fairly interesting.

277
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: They found the US leads the world in uh being

278
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: neurotic and being extroverted, and those are two traits that

279
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: lead to big tips because you're neurotic, so you feel like,

280
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 1: of course I have to leave. You know. Any and

281
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: has ever seen the Curb Your Enthusiasm tip episode? That's

282
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: like tipping neuroticism and its finest portrayed. You want to

283
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: tip as much as your friend. You don't want to undertip.

284
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: You want to tip just you don't want to overtip.

285
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: You want to tip just the right amount. I don't

286
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: mind over tipping, especially when it's like it's really good service,

287
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: Like I'm happy to overtip, and I prefer to air

288
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: on the side of overtipping. For sure. Extroverts are outgoing

289
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: social folks, and they see it as an incentive to

290
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: get a little extra attention, like make a big show

291
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: about me, party of Benjamin, party of four, Benjamin Franklin,

292
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: party of four. I never heard that. Yeah, Uman's got

293
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: a story about this one. Dude, Wow, you won't tell it. Well,

294
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: that was pretty much it. They were she and her

295
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: boyfriend at the time and his friend were at this

296
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: restaurant and um, the guy actually said uh Franklin party

297
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: of four, and she said it worked. She couldn't believe it.

298
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: She was like, I felt bad about the guy we

299
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: were with and the guy who took the money, but

300
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: it was a good, interesting, good meal. I've never agreased

301
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: to palm for like a table. I haven't either. That's

302
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: a good move, though I wish I'd like to do that.

303
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: It is, but really it's kind of like, man, you

304
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 1: you give up a lot of any claim to the

305
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: even if you don't make that much money. If you're

306
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: walking around doing stuff like that. You know, speaking of

307
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: did you see the internet meme going around about the tipper, yes,

308
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: which apparently is totally unfounded. Now I don't. I think

309
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: it's sort of unfounded. I thought he was a tipper.

310
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: He's a one percent temper because he is part of

311
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: the one percent. And from what I understood was the

312
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: tip was real, but what he wrote on there was fabricated. Well,

313
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: or that they didn't even know for sure he was

314
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: a banker, then the whole thing is fabricated. I did

315
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: see that though. By the way I mean this, this

316
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: is breaking news, is like yesterday for four weeks ago.

317
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: So can we go back some some of the interesting

318
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: studies about how you get good tips. This is Josh

319
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: and Chucks. If you're a waiter or a waitron, here

320
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: are our tips for you to increase your tips and restaurant.

321
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: This isn't just us in our observations. This is again

322
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: Cornell has put a lot of thought and energy into it.

323
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: I believe in real research. There's been a lot of

324
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: studies about how and why we tip. One of them

325
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: is touching, Like if you are a server and you

326
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: touch the your customer, you will increase your tip and

327
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: it's not just lonely horny men. Um Men and women

328
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: of all ages um will increase their tip with just

329
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: a brief touch on the shoulder from eleven point eight

330
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: percent to fourteen point eight percent. I, however, do not

331
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: like to be touched. I don't either. I'm glad you

332
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: said that the other day and I was just like, like,

333
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: what are you doing? It didn't freak me out, like

334
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: it's not something I don't know. You you don't know me.

335
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: Let's just keep our hands theirselves, okay, and then we'll

336
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: see where your tip goes. Did his tip go down? No,

337
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: of course not. You should have punished him severely. How

338
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: god do you so much? Former waiter guilt tip on

339
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: bad service as long I do. As long as you

340
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,479
Speaker 1: have the right attitude, that makes the biggest difference. If

341
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, really sorry and it was bad service

342
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: and you said I'm sorry, guys, I you know I

343
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: let you down the night, unless you're being manipulative by

344
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: doing that, and you really just couldn't have cared less

345
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: you phoned it in and then you said, oh really sorry,

346
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: I can't too. Yeah, intentions go a long way with me,

347
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: all right. Squatting and This was my big move when

348
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: I was a waiter because at my at my at

349
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: the nice restaurant I worked at, it was my big move.

350
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: I would kneel down next to the table A lot

351
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: of times. You get that eye contact going on, and

352
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: your tips are gonna go up from fourteen point nine

353
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: percent to seventeen point five. Okay. I would also like

354
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: to add a caveat to this. However, if you actually

355
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 1: get into the booth or take a seat at the table,

356
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: you've crossed the line. Well I I used to do

357
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: that at Mexicali, though, but that was a college atmosphere

358
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: and that that would be acceptable at certain times. You've

359
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: been in college at Mexicali. No, no, no, that was

360
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: over the line. No no, no, no. It was fun

361
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: girls drinking margharita's. I would sit down and flirt and

362
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: would your tip go up? Yeah, and occasionally would get

363
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: a phone number out of it. Oh and free margarita

364
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:29,959
Speaker 1: that that well I had. I worked there. I got

365
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: all the free margarities I want them. I didn't realize

366
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: they gave free margarita to employees at MEXICALI. Well they

367
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: didn't officially anywhere supposed to have them. While you're working

368
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: either those were the old days. Giving candy to uh

369
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: to your customer will jump your tip up from fifteen

370
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: point one to seventeen point eight. Giving two pieces of candy,

371
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: one initially and one spontaneously like here have another jumped

372
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: it from nineteen percent to twenty one point six percent.

373
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: So long as you didn't end it with chumps. I'm

374
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: sorry that jumped it when it was the spontaneous secondaries

375
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: chumps by being like, oh, well, you know what here

376
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: take two and we're talking like the starlight peppermints here, Okay,

377
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: it's not like good dive at chocolate. Yes, thank you

378
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: for rescuing me, because I almost said snickers. I'd be

379
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: nice too. I had a waitress recently give Emily and

380
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: I the pen that she gave us to sign the

381
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 1: bill with because I'm a big pen guy, so as

382
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: Emily and as far as having like the perfect pen,

383
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: and I signed things like, oh my god, feel this

384
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: pin and it was a combination of the pin on

385
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: that that slimy paper that they give you and it

386
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 1: was amazing. And Emily said something that she was like,

387
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: I agree. I keep them in my car so much.

388
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: Go ahead and keep that one and how much of

389
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: a tip you leave her? I left her my pen.

390
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: No I'm kidding. Oh yeah, sure I tipped her. No,

391
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: it's always like, so the highest you goes twenty five. Yeah,

392
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: I mean I I go, I go twenty, and I

393
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: round up. No matter what I noticed, especially before the

394
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: um uh well, no, I guess it would have been

395
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: even after the economic collapse, the global catastrophe that we're

396
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: in the midst of. Still um that it was moving

397
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: very clearly towards across the board was the new percent,

398
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: and then the economic meltdown happened, and all of a sudden,

399
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: now it's back to fifteen percent and percent if you're

400
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 1: doing good. It seems like, am I wrong? Am I

401
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: just fantasizing here? No? I think it used to be ten,

402
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: that it was like twelve and fifteen and then twenty

403
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: and then Yeah, you're right, with the economic crisis. I

404
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: did read articles that people said, our tips are going down.

405
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: But it's a collective movement, you know what I'm saying, Like,

406
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: you can be the nice guy in tip twenty all

407
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: the time or whatever, but you're also kind of pushing

408
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: everybody else forward by doing that. Yeah. I also did

409
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: the deal to you where you know you go out

410
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: with certain people and you wh whoa, whoa? What does

411
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 1: that mean? I've got like eight different homes. I don't

412
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: want I don't want to call out any any person

413
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: or even are you talking about a specific buddy of yours? No,

414
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: not buddy, just you know, could be family members, could

415
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 1: be certain friends, just you know, when someone picks up

416
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: the tab, I always do the thing where I look

417
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 1: to make sure that they were properly compensated. Then on

418
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: the way and I was like, oh, I gotta use

419
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: the bathroom. I'm gonna put more money in there. Oh

420
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: you're an underminer. Huh yeah. Because certain people. Oh man,

421
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: I wish I could say who. I had a friend

422
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: whose father was in a very rich dude, and he

423
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: was a bad tipper and embarrassed the crud out of

424
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: me when we would go to these nice places and

425
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: he would pick up the tab and leave like a

426
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: eight to tip. And so I always need to bring

427
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: cash to leave in the thing. Jared Hess's dad. No, No, uh,

428
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: all right, so that's it. How to increase your tips? Oh?

429
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: Tell him it's sunny outside. Yeah. The psychology of weather

430
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: strikes again, where the study was conducted where if m

431
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: a in a windowless room, right, yeah, uh, if the

432
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: waiter described it as being rainy out, the tips were

433
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: something like nineteent. This isn't too bad. But if the

434
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: waiters like, oh, it's so sunny and beautiful out, then

435
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: tips average. So squat at the table, touch him on

436
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: the shoulder, give him candy, Give him candy, and then

437
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you've got two pieces of candy,

438
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: and uh, give good service, and then tell them it's

439
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: sunny outside and you will be rolling in the dead

440
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: makes like a million dollars table, thank us later, and

441
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: tip on the original amount. By the way, that's a

442
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: waiter thing. It's a big one. If you if you

443
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: got coupons or you do the scout mob thing, be

444
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: aware that you're you should tip on the original amount.

445
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: You kind of have to. It's not the waiter's fault.

446
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: You had a coupon. Yeah, I mean that is really

447
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: bad if you don't know that at this point, especially

448
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: with how ubiquitous those those deals are getting these days.

449
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: You know, um, but chuck. On the other hand, you

450
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: can make a pretty strong argument that, um, if you

451
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 1: order a hundred dollar bottle of wine. Do you that? So? Why? Why? Yeah? Why?

452
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: I like some nice wine, and that is a bone

453
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: of contention that I swallow, and I just still tip

454
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: on the total amount. But yeah, you're right if you

455
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: let's say you just order a bottle of wine, like meaningmly,

456
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: we're just gonna go have a bottle of wine one

457
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: night because we ate dinner somewhere else, or maybe we

458
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: gotta have dessert somewhere and we get a nice bottle

459
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: of port and it's like eighty bucks. You guys drink

460
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: a whole bottle of port, And no, of course not.

461
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: Let's say with a group or whatever, we drink a

462
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: whole bottle of port, a group of what like twenty

463
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: you're drinking a whole bottle of drinking glass of port,

464
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: and there's like five glass like that small, it's like

465
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: a regular wine glass. What do you drink brandy like that? No,

466
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: because that's liquor poored is wine? No, brandy is a

467
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: type of wine anyway, do you you're like Homer Simpson

468
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: when he was baby sending Mr Burns house when he

469
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: like pours himself like a whole sniffer brandy and drinks

470
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: the whole thing and when when gulp and then just

471
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: falls right over. My friend Timmy's wife one time asked

472
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,239
Speaker 1: for a bourbon on the rocks at her house, and

473
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: she bought me like seven ounces of bourbon on the rocks,

474
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: and I was like, what are you trying to do

475
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: to me? That's awesome? No, but porchs not. You're not

476
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: supposed to be a little It's not like sambuca. I

477
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: mean ports like a regular glass of wine. Right, I'm

478
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: mistaken then, because every place I go they pour your regular,

479
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: regular glass. No it's a little tiny like it's like

480
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: a cordial wine glass. No, no, no, no, no, I promise,

481
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: all right, you're gonna be wrong regardless. You drink expensive

482
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: wine and how how much do you tip? Well, But

483
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: it does cross my mind, like, man, I'm giving this

484
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: guy like fourteen dollars for bringing me a bottle of wine.

485
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: It's a good point, and I think even the average

486
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: server would grudgingly agree. Okay, all right, maybe maybe not

487
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: this one. But it's not just the waiter that you

488
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: want to tip in the restaurant, surprise, surprise. Depending on

489
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: where you go, you need to be prepared to tip

490
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Yeah, that the person who see

491
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: it's a really nice place the matri d. If the

492
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: matri d goes out of his way, um to get

493
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: you a very nice table, or you feel like he's

494
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: he or she is doing something um very just kind

495
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: of above and beyond, you might want to slip from

496
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty bucks. There's a lot also if the

497
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: Somalia comes over to your table and tells you a

498
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: bit about the wines, especially if you solicited this advice. Yea.

499
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: In reading this article, I realized that I have stiffed

500
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: at least one Somalia in my life, and now I

501
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: understand why he's looking at me weird when he finished.

502
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: Um uh, you you want to give them anywhere from

503
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: ten to twenty bucks, depending on how in depth the

504
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: recommendation is. And usually when you're talking tips at least

505
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: in this article that we're working from from how stuff

506
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: Works dot com, um, there's a eyeing a low yeah,

507
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: And it's basically the discrepancy is based on just how

508
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: much effort this person is putting into it, how much enthusiasm, um,

509
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: but and just how much out of their out of

510
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: the way of their normal duties are they going. See

511
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: here's my deal, dude, I don't want a big show.

512
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: I want genuine good service and and to be left

513
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: alone because you you can. The tip won't go down

514
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: because I just have the guilt. But you can go

515
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: down in my mind if you're just too like, just

516
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: too much, don't work too hard, don't give me a

517
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: big show. Apparently they can do whatever they want to

518
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: and they're still gonna get the same amount of money.

519
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: Do you know what, chuck? You know where you would

520
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: do well, then buffet's. At a buffet, you serve yourself

521
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: and you just leave your plate and it mysteriously vanishes.

522
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: But that's a person behind the kidnapping of that plate,

523
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 1: and you want to leave them about ten percent as

524
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: the recommendation, So you want to leave them thirty five

525
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: cents at your buffet. I don't go to buffet's, but yeah,

526
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: if you don't go to buffet, No, I don't understand

527
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: the existence of cafeterias. Since there's buffets, it's the same

528
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: exact thing, except buffets are all you can eat, and

529
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: cafeterias like, here's a little ramikin of the same thing

530
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: you can have ten helpings of if you want for

531
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: the same price. Well, you don't see a lot of

532
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: cafeterias anymore, you do, you do? Yeah, there's at least

533
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: as many cafeterias as there are buffets. Oh no, yeah,

534
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: I think the Chinese food restaurants have made that a

535
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: null and void comment. The Chinese food Okay, alright, so

536
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: though they exist outside of this realm, I'm talking more

537
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: like country cook and buffets. Yeah, yeah, there's almost one

538
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: for one all right. Uh. And by the way, most

539
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: most nicer restaurants pulled their tips. Um like in Mexicality

540
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: was every man for himself. You know, the bus boy

541
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: didn't get tips or actually we kind of bust our

542
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: own tables. But most restaurants will pull their tips in

543
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: the the that's usually not a matre d at that point.

544
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: It's just the host or hostess they'll get a cut,

545
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: and like the bartender and the bus boy, they'll they'll

546
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: get dishwasher. They'll all get a cut. So just remember that.

547
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: But some places it's every man for himself too. Uh.

548
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: If speaking of bartenders, you are at a bar, I

549
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: usually tip a buck of drink for the first few drinks.

550
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: That's what I do. Unless it's a very if it's

551
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: like a complex, complicated drink, which I tend to prefer um.

552
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: It will be like a percentage to the bill. If

553
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: there's really muddling going on. Yes, once you start muddling,

554
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, here's some extra money. I don't

555
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: tip on the bill because I will usually just say

556
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: give us six BBRs for my friends and I and

557
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: we then tip a bucket. Even if the beer is

558
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: a dollar, I'll give a dollar. It's very nice of you,

559
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: you know, because it's like, what am I gonna like

560
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: fish around for fifteen cents? That's just ridiculous. But you

561
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: know we're rich, we're high rollers. You're tipping a buck

562
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: a buck for a dollar? Beer chuck wow? Podcasting business Uh.

563
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: Cafes and coffee houses. I think we kind of covered that.

564
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: I tend to tip out of guilt there. But I

565
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: don't go to a lot of coffee shops because I

566
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: don't drink a lot of coffees. Do you really see

567
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: look those guys in the eyes while I'm not tipping them.

568
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: Do you what the worst is? Checking out the grocery store,

569
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: they're like, would you like to give a dollar to

570
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: the you know whatever foundation? That's fifty fifty for me?

571
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: Depending on my mood. Really yeah, I mean like I

572
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: should do it every time, but um yeah, and that's

573
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: sad that helping out kids with muscular distrophe is equated

574
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: to tipping. Well it's not, but yeah, I know what

575
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: you mean, um holiday tipping, which was a big part

576
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: of that Curb Your Enthusiasm Enthusiasm episode when you do

577
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: this when you were have money. I think it's generally

578
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: for people that have a little more money and they

579
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: live in places where they know the service people helping. Yeah,

580
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: like they got the country club and the guy you

581
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: know this and that. But you can deliver your newspaper

582
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: or your garbage collector your newspaper delivery person. You can

583
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: tip your mailman. My brother used to when he worked

584
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: at uh the movie theaters would give every holidays he

585
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: would give out movie tickets, yeah to like the mailman

586
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: into the garbage person and stuff like that. Um, fifteen

587
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: to twenty five bucks they say for your garbage collector,

588
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: your dog walker, your nanny, your cleaning service, they say

589
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: one week's pay. I save a lot of money every

590
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: year by not having those people set up to tip them.

591
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, manicurist, you have manicurist supposed took them ten

592
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: to fifty. I do. And you know the way around this,

593
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: go to different manicurists every time, so that you're not

594
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: you're not you're not a common enough customer that you

595
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: feel like you need to tip them at the holidays.

596
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: Hairdressers women obviously the ones who are probably been in

597
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: the big bucks at the hairdresser, they say hundred and

598
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: this is for the holidays. You understand, it's not each visit.

599
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: This is hey, it's Christmas. You also have to tip

600
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: them each visit. I get a fourteen dollar haircut, I

601
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: tip six bucks? What well? Because what am I gonna

Speaker 1: give them? Nineteen dollars? Wow? Or two dollars? Okay? That

603
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,520

Speaker 1: for the great haircut that's gonna last me three months.

605

Speaker 1: You may cut your hair um hotels. Uh, you're This

608
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: is something that I have just recently learned. I didn't

609
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: know you're supposed to tip the maid service. I knew that,

610
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: but I thought that was something from maybe the fifties.

611
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: And that's how I like, um, comforted myself by not

612
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: kipping the maids. But yeah, apparently we're supposed to be

613
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: doing that a lot. One to ten dollars per night,

614
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: depending on the mess you make. I am extremely clean

615
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: and I clean up before I leave. It depends on

616
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: if they change you, if you soiled yourself the night before.

617
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: Bell hoops a dollar per bag if it's bull key

618
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: and large or heavy and awkward, maybe a little bit

619
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: more of that. Yeah, more than a buck That one

620
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: I totally get. Still don't do it because I frequently

621
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: don't use bell hoops to do it myself. But um,

622
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: I hate that when they force you to like walk

623
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 1: you into the room and show you around and stuff.

624
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: I would much rather just carry my own bag, just

625
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: give me my key card again with a big show.

626
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: I don't want a big show, right Well apparently though,

627
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: Remember that one study found that bell hops who do

628
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: make a big show of things by showing people how

629
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: to how to operate the thermostat on the TV and

630
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: opening the drapes and offering to fill the ice bucket,

631
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: they almost doubled their average tip. But I wonder if

632
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: it was people who are like, here's some money, just

633
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: please go away, which is one of the words is

634
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: a tipping to remember, throwing money for uh concierge five

635
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: to ten dollars depending on how helpful. Remember when we

636
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: were at the Pittsburgh Fairmont and our buddy Chad give

637
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: the concierge like ten bucks for a wreck and it

638
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: turned out to be a bad recommendation and he was

639
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: on man, he wanted his money back. What was the recommendation?

640
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: I didn't go. I was eating Indian food by myself

641
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: in my room. The whole thing. It was for a

642
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: restaurant that was either closed or it was like it

643
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 1: was just a bad tip. And he was like, did

644
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: he get his money back? No, of course not. I'll

645
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: bet he did not stop complaining about it. That he

646
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: kept going and going. Uh. And I didn't know until recently,

647
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: you're supposed to tip the concierge. I'm a dummy. I

648
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: didn't know that. Well, I mean they help you out,

649
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: and depending they were, how much help they are? Yeah,

650
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: I mean like they concierge. And I've never had one

651
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: do this for me. I've never really needed the services

652
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: of concerts, but concierges can like really go to town.

653
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm making your life easy. They can get you tickets

654
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: to a show, like all sorts of things. They can

655
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: buy your kid a toy. If you're staying at a

656
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: nice enough place, oh and you're busy or whatever shopping,

657
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: the least they can find your shopper. This is, you

658
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: know what, in the in the spirit of keeping the

659
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: tradition of facts alive. I made that last part up,

660
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: but it seems like a say that's something. Oh sure

661
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 1: they would, okay, uh doorman, tip your doorman if they

662
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: if they hell a taxi, tip them a buck. A

663
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: lot of them aren't allowed to accept tips, so don't

664
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: be surprised if they hand it back. Really all right,

665
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: deliveries this is a big one for me. I get

666
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: Chinese food delivery. It's about the only delivery I get.

667
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, maybe the occasional pizza where you order from.

668
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: I order from a place indicator of Chinese food place. Yeah,

669
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: it's good, but they take forever. Yeah. See, that'll cut

670
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: down on a tip with me. Well, especially if I'm

671
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: really hungry when I order. Yeah, we've learned to order

672
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 1: before we're hungry from this place. It's smart like Tuesday,

673
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, they say to tip two to five bucks

674
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,800
Speaker 1: on your on your food delivery to your home, depending

675
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: on the weather, m the amount of danger depending on

676
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: the neighborhood you live in. Yeah, my neighborhood's dangerous. I

677
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: was not talking about your neighborhood. It's really not that been.

678
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: Flower deliveries one to ten bucks, depending on the arrangement.

679
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: I spent a little time as a flower delivery person,

680
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: and I can tell you that most people don't tip

681
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: their flower delivery guy, even though they're bringing this bit

682
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 1: of sunshine into your life. Assume that goes for fruit

683
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: delivery too, with those silly fruit displays, unless ironically, you're

684
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: dressed like a piece of fruit while you're delivering it.

685
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: Then the tips to start pouring out. Furniture delivery like

686
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: large things. I can tell you I did that as well,

687
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,479
Speaker 1: Very large furniture among the heaviest arm wars you can

688
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: possibly conceive of our fabrics. If you delivered to the

689
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: home of like someone aged sixty five or older, there

690
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: was about a sixty percent chance they were gonna tip you.

691
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: Anybody below that was like, hey, thanks, thanks for coming.

692
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: Don't don't get hit by a car on your way out.

693
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: See my history with tipping with the elderly as they

694
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: don't tip as much. It depends, It depends, It depends

695
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: on the industry. You're in restaurant because tipping, I think,

696
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: and it used to be a lot more ubiquitous than

697
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: it is now. Right. So yeah, so like furniture delivery,

698
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: like that's why the older generation I would get a

699
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 1: tip from him more frequently, because there was a time

700
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: when you tipped everybody like that. Our generation wasn't raised

701
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: like that, right, I mean, do you tip the furniture

702
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: delivery guy. I pick up my own furniture buddy, Okay,

703
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: but you probably wouldn't like the mover, Let's say, like

704
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: the people who help you move. I think it's expected

705
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: you pay the big, huge moving costs and you tip

706
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: the guys on top of that. Man, I've got a

707
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of self reflection. Sky Cap. I

708
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: took five bucks a bag for sky Cap. I must

709
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: be a sucker because it saysn't here two dollars a bag?

710
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: Very good? What's next? Um? Shuttle drivers at the airport?

711
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: I didn't know you're supposed to tip them. You're not.

712
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: This is all made up, Cabby. In New York, they

713
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: make it very easy on you know. You just put

714
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: in the percentage you want in the little computer and

715
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: it'll add it to your to your credit card, which

716
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: is great valet. If I like you, which is frequent,

717
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: you get two bucks. If I don't like you, you

718
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: can get as little as zero dollars. I try to

719
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: get to UM. I feel bad though when I don't

720
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: have it, and I'm just like a man, and sometimes

721
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: I'll say, can I go get my own car? Dude,

722
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 1: I don't have any cash. Yeah, I'll say that too,

723
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: and they say, no, we'll go get it. There was

724
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: an I'll fart in it, you know they will? Oh

725
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: they will, Yeah, I'll soil myself in your car. Uh, mechanic,

726
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: I had no idea. That's this is why it's made up.

727
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 1: You don't tip your mechanic. Who what are they talking about?

728
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: I had no idea. I think this is from like

729
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: the Gentleman's Guide to Life edition. Tip your mechanic ten

730
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: to twenty dollars for any job over five. I had

731
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 1: no idea. Gas station attendance like they exist anymore or

732
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: Oregon or wherever. If you if if they voluntarily check

733
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: your luids, meaning the ones in your car, uh, you

734
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: should tip them one to two dollars? Is it Oregon?

735
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: You do? You have to get your gas pumping. I

736
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: remember in New Jersey. I think I've even told you this.

737
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: My girlfriend had never pumped her gas. She was like,

738
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, Well our friend Van Nostrian, he lives

739
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: in Washington, which is nearby Oregon, so he probably knows

740
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 1: about that. We should ask him. Um so international tipping,

741
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: it's way way too much to go over and we

742
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: hate to cop out, but you really do need to

743
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: go online because there's tons of information. When you go

744
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: to visit a country, it's all different. Look it up

745
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: before you go so you don't look like a schmuck. Yeah. Um,

746
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,240
Speaker 1: there are a couple of rules of thumb. You should,

747
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: like you said, familiarize yourself. You know, not knowing the

748
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 1: value of the currency is not an excuse. Um, and um,

749
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: don't use US currency. Yeah, that's a here's a couple

750
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,959
Speaker 1: of American dollars for you, Mr Costaagan. Don't just red

751
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: your g d P. Yeah, that's that's cop out. That's

752
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 1: bs to convert it and give them their currents. Yeah,

753
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: because they have to go to an exchange place, and

754
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: you know, everybody has a cameo in their in their

755
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: neighborhood or and you know, I guess some countries I think,

756
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: like like Puerto Rico and stuff like, they can use

757
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: American dollars because it's in American territory well now, and

758
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: I think even like Jamaica, in a lot of these

759
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: places close to the US in the Caribbean, I think, well,

760
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: they can use American dollars as well, so it's not

761
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: so obnoxious. Can we go over some people who you

762
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: don't have to tip? Which I was very relieved to

763
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 1: hear some of these are are there? Is there anyone

764
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: that you don't have to tip? Restaurant owners you're not

765
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: supposed to tip. Salon owners, and basically any owner of

766
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,760
Speaker 1: an establishment you don't tip unless they're the ones providing

767
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: the service to you. Um food deliveries under thirty bucks.

768
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is. That doesn't make any

769
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: sense to me. Here's my favorite. I was so glad

770
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: to know that I don't. I can go ahead and

771
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: stop tipping. Flight attendants. You don't have to tip flight attendants.

772
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: Did you know that? I did not know anyone would

773
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: do that. Bus drivers, theater rushers, you have to tip,

774
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 1: shuttle drivers, but you're not supposed to tip bus drivers.

775
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: This place is crazy, that's I'm saying. The rules are

776
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: so like you you don't tip McDonald's, but you do

777
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: tip the coffee person even though you can get a

778
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:32,760
Speaker 1: coffee at McDonald's. Salespeople you don't tip them. And employees

779
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: at fast frid restaurants, air airline flight attendants. I can't

780
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: believe someone actually wrote down that you don't have to

781
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: tip them. So, Um, there's a lot of federal stuff

782
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: going on right now, my friends. Uh, there's something up.

783
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: So the the federal tipped minimum wage has been the

784
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: same since it's a two hour because of inflation. That

785
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 1: whole concept was created in nineteen sixty six because of inflation.

786
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: It's never been less valuable than it is right now

787
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 1: relative to the cost of living. So it's a big

788
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: deal for people who make their living, you know, in

789
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 1: service industries. Um, before Congress right now, there's Hr. Thirty one,

790
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: the Working for Adequate Gains for Employment and Services or

791
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: the Wages Act. Congress is so clever. Um, but basically

792
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: it would tie the federal tip minimum wage to six

793
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: of the federal minimum wage. So every time there's a

794
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: hike it would also be a hike in the federal

795
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: tip minimum wage, and that act would raise it right

796
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: now to four thirty five an hour, which is, you know,

797
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: double what they're making, but still way below just over

798
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: half of you know, the federal minimum wage. And if

799
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: you want to go join a group that lobbies on

800
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: behalf of people who should make a decent wage in

801
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: the service industry, you can check out fair eats dot org,

802
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: I F A I R e A t s dot org.

803
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 1: And that Buddy is a local group there. Atlanta based

804
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 1: a lot of restaurants here. I have a list, Josh

805
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: of best and worst celebrity tippers. Oh nice. Yeah, this

806
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: is very TMZ, although it wasn't from TMZ. And I

807
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: hesitate to even read these because take it with a

808
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: grain of salt. A lot of these stories I don't

809
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: know for true, and I'm not gonna get into the stories.

810
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: But you'll be pleased to know that our ghostbusters Dan

811
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: Ackroyd and Bill Murray are legendary good tippers. Awesome, you

812
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: would think Drew barrymore great tipper. Russell Crowe kind of

813
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: surprised me tipper. Apparently he's a really good tipper. I

814
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: would not have guessed that, and the whole smashing your

815
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,919
Speaker 1: face with a phone incident was out of character for him. Wait,

816
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: I thought he like in fights all the time. I

817
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:44,760
Speaker 1: don't know, huh. Drew Carey good tipper, Hulk Hogan, Charlie

818
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:48,399
Speaker 1: sheen I'll bet Charlie sheen Ley's more than just money

819
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: as tips. David Beckham, Johnny Depp apparently really really good tipper.

820
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: And then I cross reference the list of worst tippers

821
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: on because there's all sorts of sites where people where

822
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: you can go as a waitre on and say so

823
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: until came in my restaurant last night and they did X,

824
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: Y and Z, so I did cross reference some of these.

825
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: Mick Jagger, the rock Bill Cosby Is was on every list.

826
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm sad to say I am not the least bit surprised.

827
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: Kirsten dunst Weird Madonna Tiger Woods was on every list. Usher,

828
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: Britney Spears and Jeremy Piven was on every list. Sean

829
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: Penn really yeah, David Burne, Dude, this is so disappointing

830
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: if it's true. David Byrne of The Talking Heads is

831
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: considered one of the worst tippers ever because apparently he

832
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: does not tip period, Like, oh yeah, I don't tip.

833
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: That is two episodes in a row that future rose

834
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: Board dogs Michael Moore supposedly. What wait a minute. If

835
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: this is true, Michael Moore, and you are a friend

836
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: of Michael Morris who listens and stuff, you know, please

837
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 1: play this for him, you should be ashamed of yourself,

838
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: Sir ashamed. It said once less left than left left

839
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: less than twenty dollars on a four fifty dollar bill.

840
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: And see all these though. I say take with a

841
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: grain of salt, though, because because I could just be

842
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,760
Speaker 1: the ones and the ones not had any money. Maybe

843
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: the maybe the server was a big Republican jerk that

844
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: he didn't like because it is Michael Moore. Remember that

845
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: part did you see Capitalism a Love Story? Yeah? And

846
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: he's like, hey, I'm looking for some some advice. And

847
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: one of the traders was like, stop making movies. It

848
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 1: was ame alright, So I'm not gonna embarrass any more

849
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: of these people like Molly Ringwald and Ricky Lake being

850
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: really worried about like her her finances, and Rachel Ray

851
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: she was on a bunch of the sites too. They

852
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 1: said she's cheap. I could see her being cheap too.

853
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm not surprised by all them. Don't

854
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,240
Speaker 1: be cheap people. I mean, you make tons of money,

855
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: spread it around and I'm no socialists, but come on,

856
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 1: just bring a little joy in someone's life like Bill

857
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 1: Murray does. Yeah, but not Bill Cosby. Be more like

858
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: Bill Murray, not like Bill Cosby. Okay, yes, all right,

859
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: what's our big takeaway? That's it for our list of

860
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: most hated celebrities. If you want to learn more about that,

861
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: you can type tipping into the search bar at how

862
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: stuff works dot com. Right, that's right, that's t I

863
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 1: P P I n G, which is what That's like

864
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 1: a palin drum or something. Almost didn't it close? Uh?

865
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: Let's see, I said search bar how stuff works dot Com,

866
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: which means it's time for listening. Mail Josh, I'm gonna

867
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:37,240
Speaker 1: call this one dueling Vikings. Call it that though from

868
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: a dude from Viking Land. He says, Hi, guys, just

869
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: finished listening to the Dueling podcast. I thought i'd share

870
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: a bit on how they were handled in Nordic countries

871
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: back when they were pillaging the rest of Europe and

872
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: ber jerking at every opportunity Despite the outward appearance of

873
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: being crazy ax wielding pirates. The Vikings prefer to keep

874
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: things civil on the home front. Thus the concept of

875
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 1: home aang was created. A home is a small island

876
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: and gang means to go. So when two parties or

877
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: odds over an insult a woman or property, they would

878
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: go to a tiny island or the tip of a peninsula,

879
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: or some similar isolated area to duke get out. Viking style.

880
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: They would take a three by three meter square of

881
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 1: ox hide, spread it on the ground, and stake each

882
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: corner uh and rope between them, much like a modern

883
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: boxing ring. Each home gunger typically wielded an axe or

884
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: a heavy sword and had with him three wooden shields.

885
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: The challenging party I'm sorry. The challenged party would have

886
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 1: first strike, and they would then proceed taking turns to

887
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 1: hammer away at each other's shield broken shields being replaced

888
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 1: with the two spares along the way, and the first

889
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,479
Speaker 1: man struck bodily to typically be considered the loser. Huh,

890
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: thanks for the hundreds of hours of entertaining knowledge and

891
