Tipping Went From 15% to 30%

Transcript

15% was considered a good tip, a high-end tip. Now, the starting point is 20%. And these screens and the receipts that calculate the tips go all the way up to 20, 25, 30%. And what's what's absolutely insane about this whole thing is the price on the menu have gone astronomically high. And so not paying a higher percentage, but we're also being asked to pay a higher percentage on a higher amount. It's just gotten out of freaking control, right? 30%? That's that's a tax.
