 In this week’s episode, Kimberly hits Meredith with the question we’re all thinking: why are we still tipping in 2026? As a mildly thriving history nerd, Kimberly comes prepared with a breakdown of where tipping actually came from… and let’s just say, she is not surprised by what she finds.

From there, the girls dive into their very real, very relatable approaches to tipping in the wild—panic math, social pressure, accidental over-tipping, and the occasional “am I being judged right now?” spiral.

Come for the history lesson and maybe leave questioning every iPad swivel you’ve ever encountered.
