The Common Folk have a discussion about tipping in the service industry and why today we seem to see it more and more in the product industry too. Where did the concept of tipping come from? When do we owe a tip? How do we know how much to add for a tip? Is it fair to add it to the bill or should we be giving cash tips? It is still an act of respect and appreciation or has it become something else?

So many highlights and good times were had over our 1st year. Inspiring stories, intriguing guests, and a "Common Folk" heartfelt perspective was offered throughout year 1. We want to say thanks to all the guests, they didn't always share the "fluffiest" or easiest stories to tell, but they were real, honest and everyone drew something from those conversations. Most importantly, we NEED to thank you. The support and listenership has been tremendous, maybe even overwhelming at times, but you can bet your bottom dollar we'll continue to put our best foot forward to deliver the Common Folk point of view in year 2!
