In this episode, we dive into the heated debate: Has tipping culture gotten out of hand? From coffee shops to takeout counters, it seems like every transaction now comes with an expectation to tip. But where do we draw the line between fair compensation and tipping fatigue?

Join us as Ant and Christina explore the evolution of tipping and the impact on both consumers and service workers. We'll discuss the cultural differences in tipping and the ethical dilemmas that many face when deciding how much to tip—or whether to tip at all.

Ant and Christina bring in perspectives from both sides of the counter—service industry workers, customers, and tipping experts—to unpack the psychology, expectations, and frustrations surrounding this growing phenomenon. Is tipping still about rewarding great service, or has it become an obligation fueled by social pressure?
