Should a 20% tip be the bare minimum? 👀 I DON'T THINK PEOPLE OFTEN WHEN THEY LEAVE, LIKE, A $5 TIP ON A $300 BILL, I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON SEEING THAT. WE SPLIT IT THE BARTENDERS, THE BUSSERS, THE RUNNERS. YOU MIGHT THINK I'M UPSET BECAUSE YOU GAVE ME $5, BECAUSE I HAD TO, LIKE, SHARE IT WITH 12 OTHER PEOPLE.

Transcript

I don't think people often when they leave, like, a $5 tip on a $300 bill, I'm not the only person seeing that. We split it the bartenders, the bussers, the runners. You might think I'm upset because you gave me $5, because I had to, like, share it with 12 other people.
