Has Tipping Gotten Out of Control?

from Simple Joe

Welcome to Simple Joe. I’m glad you’re here. On today’s Simple Joe for Wednesday, November 12, 2025, I kick off with a wild tidbit about the first alarm clock only ringing at 4 a.m., then bring you the 3-day forecast for Tirana, Cincinnati, and Chester where I am right now. It’s Wildcard Wednesday, so I dive into tipping culture, tipflation, the history of gratuities, when to tip, and where tipping makes sense. I share my own tipping rules and a few complaints about those awkward tip screens. We celebrate World Pneumonia Day, Happy Hour Day, and World Quality Day, and mark birthdays for Grace Kelly, Wallace Shawn, Neil Young, Nadia Comăneci, Tonya Harding, Ryan Gosling, and Anne Hathaway. Plus, Pudge Heffelfinger’s first pro football payday, Oregon’s exploding whale, and Disney’s Fantasia premiere. Email me at [email protected] or send me a text at 513.399.6468. Just say hi, I would love to hear from you.
