Transcript

Did you leave a tip? Yeah I did, but they left a note. What does it say? It says... Next time Try Tipping Properly. Okay, well... how much did you tip? 10%. Well, I guess they have a point then. No, I mean tipping is an extra thank you, it's not a bill I have to pay. Yeah, but you are a millionaire, why not just leave like 20%? Well, I could leave 50% but that's not going to help anyone... What do you mean? Too many people tip for bad service, which leads to entitled people and bad experiences.
