The Ridiculous Racist Origin of Tipping, Part Two: The Great Debate and Anti-tipping Crusades

from Ridiculous History · host iHeartPodcasts

While tipping is widely accepted (and expected) in the United States today, this wasn't always the case. In the second part of this special two-part series, Ben, Noel, and Max learn how scheming corporations used tipping as a way to exploit newly-freed employees... and how the anti-tipping movement became prevalent enough to end up as part of Presidential campaigns.
