In this episode of The SoapBox Lex, hosts Eric Green and Paul Ross dive deep into the complex world of tipping culture in America. With technologies like Square Reader making tipping a standard in non-traditional transactions, we ask: Is this okay? Is it just a polite custom, or has it crossed into digital panhandling? Have we gone too far with tipping?

We explore the incentives for retailers to ask for tips, discuss whether we should abandon tipping altogether, and question what's considered polite in today's service industry. Do servers deserve tips even when they provide bad service? This one's sure to get spicy!
