About this listen
"It’s just going to ask you a quick question on the screen."
We’ve all been there. You bought a coffee, nobody sat you down, nobody brought you a menu, but now you’re staring at a tablet with a 25% tip option while a human being watches you choose. In this episode, Phil TheIssuesGuy tackles Tipping Fatigue. We’re breaking down how tipping shifted from a reward for service to a "guilt tax" used to subsidize underpaid wages. If you’re tired of being held socially hostage for a bagel, this is your 15-minute sanctuary.
The Problem: The "Spinning Tablet" has turned every transaction into a moral test.
The Flawed Fix: "If you can't afford to tip, don't go out."
The Absurd Ultimatum: If we pay the staff's salary, we get to see the owner's tax returns. New episodes of The Flawed Fix drop every Monday.
