March 22nd - America – we need to talk about tipping

When did the minimum gratuity on restaurant meals increase to 20 per cent? Does a coffee take-out really need a tip? And what is an online travel agency doing asking for a tip after it’s just taken over £100 from me? In this episode of the travel podcast, I ask America to have a word with itself over its tipping culture and how it doesn't help anyone.I won't be asking for any tips for the service of this podcast, neither with my newsletter, which is free delivery every Friday to your inbox.
