(MUST WATCH) https://youtu.be/3wKkk0W0CEU?si=KC-M0kxH7lqo8uFp Tipping used to be simple but now it’s a full-blown holiday headache.  In Season 6 Episode 7 (Ep 129) of What Dewey Do?, the pressure to tip is everywhere, from coffee counters to self-checkouts. Just in time for the season of giving, here’s a no-BS guide to tipping with confidence, generosity, and a clear conscience. Tipping takes center stage from its origin story to the post-COVID spike in expectations, including the tech-fueled “tip creep” phenomenon.  You’ll learn when to tip, what to tip, and when it’s totally fine to skip it. Holiday tipping guidelines, auto-gratuity red flags, guilt-driven screens, and personalized service rules are all part of this tipping playbook that’s just as useful for 2026 as it is right now. Skip the awkward pause at the tablet and stop tipping out of guilt. Watch the full episode and head into the holidays with your wallet in balance.  Quotes: - Dewey Steffen: "The general rule: tip when someone provides personalized service and relies heavily on your gratuity."  - Dewey Steffen: "Holiday tipping is different. You’re giving a bonus to people who support you all year long.” - Dewey Steffen: "In self‑service situations, there’s no need to tip. Don’t let a tablet screen guilt trip you."   ➡️ WDD TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@whatdeweydopodcast ➡️ WDD Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatdeweydopodcast ➡️ WDD Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatdeweydo ➡️ GLW YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GLWealth   Thanks for watching!
