Honey was dismissed in twenty eleven, and the dismissal was

But close. But we had two goats, yes, and so

Speaker 9 (06:31):
You didn't get the other goat.
Speaker 4 (06:32):

Yeah, and y'all and then my quickness, ya, let's pray
for the Rhino family, y'all. Ride Ryan, you know, are
the act producer Ride Ryan from All in the Family.

day their thirty two year old son killed him. Thirty
two year old son and you know he was he
(07:11):
played Meathead on Archie Bunker, and you know he played,
he did so many other different movies and what have you.
So we're gonna definitely keep that family lift up in praying.
He was definitely in an advocate y'all for lgbt Q.
So we're gonna keep the family lift up in Parier
Hunter because you know, kids, they said mental health and
all this other stuff, so we gotta pray, all right.
The Colada Day, Hunty, is one of my favorite clues.
My Coluda Day is camel on the High. You say
camel on the launch, Just say beautiful, Neutral. That's your
(07:34):
colord for today, Neutral, y'all give.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
It up, Gary the d Did you see that poster?
Speaker 10 (07:43):
People are talking here's what's trending on the Rocky Smiling
Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
All right, y'all to talk about something that people that
have people stressed before they even grabbed their food and
uh and that's the tipping culture.
Speaker 9 (07:57):
Bratt, Yeah, Ricky, because these days it's not just rest
around to anymore. You order a coffee, they spind the
screen around twenty percent, twenty five percent, thirty percent. You
grab takeout, no table, no server, and you still ask
for a tip.
Speaker 10 (08:10):
No, it's true. But on the other side of y'all,
service workers are saying, listen, tips aren't extra, they're how
we make our money because our salaries are so low.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
All right, So let's talk about it. Where do you
tip and where you don't tip? And do you feel
that tipping culture has gotten out of control?
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Aft? What are your thoughts?
Speaker 10 (08:29):
So if you make me some coffee, like, if you're
actually doing it, I gotta tip you. But if I'm
just buying chips, don't spend it around. You didn't make
the chips, You just took them off the shelf and
handed them to me.
Speaker 9 (08:39):
Right, I'm just used to when you go in the
restaurant and you get serviced, then you tip.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Right.
Speaker 9 (08:43):
But if somebody just handing you something you ain't work,
you ain't did nothing, why you.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Want to tip?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Right, I'm in the same boat with them if you
didn't actually do some work specifically for me.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Nah, you no tip?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
And the coming from a person that don't tip at all? Gary, Well,
you don't give it off?
Speaker 4 (09:01):
You you? You?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
You should you should be uh, they should call the police.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Well, my thing is this where y'all need to be
tipping that they don't tip, Like when I go to
a drag show, they the queens get dollars, and I
think they need to increase the tips because I'm like
these girls performing honey, and they put money to get
these guys and make up and stuff out there, and
they still giving them a.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Dollar by coffee. And don't talking about the gas station.
Speaker 10 (09:23):
I don't think they'd spin the thing around the rest
around and ask for a tip there.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Well, but as well, you know it's still a tip,
but ask the places. No, I'm not gonna tip you.
I mean, when I went to do a pickup water,
why do I have to give you a tip for
a pickup orter? You just hand me the grocery the stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
So why should you got out of your car winning
they bring it out to your car. That's something different now, No,
it's not. Now if I go and get picked up
food and uh, they say it's gonna be about five minutes,
and I'll give them a tip, and I say, hey,
I'm in that car right there, and they'll bring it.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Out to the car and handing me, hand me the
food through the windows. Stuff Like what about like a
sub shops?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
You know when you go to pay for your they
make your sandwich and then you go pay for your
thing at the little record and they have the tip.
They make the sandwich, the sandwich exactly. That's all they
do is all day is make sandwiches.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
But you're not tipping that individual. They make my sandwich beautiful.
And it looked like the picture on the screen going.
Speaker 9 (10:23):
To that person. It's not going to the person. That's
just the store tip that person don't get.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Okay, that's something now that's a whole other thing we
could talk about.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
So is that it don't go to the person that
makes the sandwich.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
No, But I know when I was working at Tomic
Hands Shoes like or whatever. You know, uh, like commission,
you know, commission on yourself and your accessories and stuff
like that.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
But like you don't get a tip for that.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
You got commissions.
Speaker 9 (10:51):
But when you're not, you can't tip somebody.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Who will help any place if they're going out of
their way to make sure that you have a great experience.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
What do your thoughts?
Speaker 7 (11:00):
Took my son to get a hair put the other
haircut the other day at a new barber, and I
always tipped the barber, but when I paid for him
this time, he turned the screen around and the tips
started at twenty five percent.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Normally it's like five ten.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
No, that was back in the day.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
It started at twenty five. If they don't do.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Five and ten, nodawnore, they just start off at twenty.
I'm like, how are you gonna do twenty? In the
laws say ten and that's.
Speaker 10 (11:24):
A quarter of what you paid exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
And how much it was the haircut, It was forty dollars,
but child, they went to forty dollars.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Yeah, and that was a tall a taste sixty seven.
It wasn't a full cut. It was just a tap. Yes,
the rock hold on. It was a America that faith all. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
A fade is morety, but a tape or fade, which
is that's when you just trem a little bit on
the side, trim a little bit in the back, and
that's it.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Forty dollars, man, they're charging forty dollars for them. That's
why I'm doing every other week.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Now, what is that I don't do?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
That's eight dollars dollars?
Speaker 10 (12:04):
Twenty five percent will be ten, Yeah, it's fifty.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
That's a fifty dollars haircut for yes, for sixteen.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Back in six days.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yes, yeah, but you know what you know what bothers
me about tipping a certain Now when you go to
the car wash, I can't give the guy who dried
off my car tip because you gotta put it in
the damn mailbox.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
So they all got to split it.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
That's not right, don't I don't like that he did it,
not all them right?
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Did they do that at the Brazilian White shop? They
probably do on the screen around these girls, was raising.
Speaker 10 (12:44):
Laser your moone?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Bush? I don't like nobody else down there but myself.
Speaker 11 (12:53):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
I know what I mean. Burn a candle, anything that
around the balls.
Speaker 12 (13:15):
Good morning tips stance for to ensure prompt service. If
the service is not prompt, you shouldn't expect the tip.
But oftentimes people expect tips. In there's a notion that
black people don't tip, so it becomes self professing because
the service is crappy. I'm terrell. I'll call it from Dallas.
Speaker 13 (13:31):
My name is Tomas Mante and calling them from Port Lanuderdale, Florida.
And if I'm see that at the restaurant, I think
the kid be according to the service, not because the
name of the restaurant.
Speaker 8 (13:43):
My name is Greg Yaralling I'm from Miamus, Florida. On
tip and there, I think it's out of hand when
they automatically tells you what you have to pay the tip,
you know, because sometimes uh these ragisters, uh they gave you,
pay you no attention and they give you bad set
And I act the reward for the things that you
do right and how you served me.
Speaker 14 (14:05):
John from Louisiana. The restaurants, I'm not too concerned about it.
It's like the barbershops and the nail shops is what
I'm confused about it. If you set the price, that's
the price. You're doing a service. You're getting paid for
your service. I don't think there should be any tips.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Who is an expert on? Who's an etiquette an expert on?
We need to know the right? Can you google that?
We're gonna we're going to google how it's supposed to go,
and we're gonna let let what were called Alfrida google?
Alfrida's no but the nickname, right, your factual friend Alfred. Yeah,
(14:40):
so we're gonna come back with factual Alfrida's gonna break
all of this stuff down, and we're gonna take more
of your phone calls on the other side, get out
us eight sixty sixty nine or I c k. E.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Y ricks By the Morning show.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
We have glarly touched a nerve this morning talking about tipping, Yeah, Ricky.
Speaker 9 (14:56):
A lot of you, a lot of them, will say
that the awkwardness is the worst part in that moment
when the screen flipping around and the employee is watching
and you feel like your character is being judged in
real time. Some of you said you tip just to
avoid the side eye, not because the service was amazing.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Right.
Speaker 10 (15:11):
So we're also hearing from people who say tipping has
changed the way they go out. Some of you avoid
certain spots all together because you feel pressured before you
we've even gotten your food. Others said they'll tip cash
just to keep it simple and skip the screen all together.
And then there's the bigger issue that keeps coming up.
Why are customers carrying the responsibility for wages? A lot
of listeners are saying, you know, companies need to stop
(15:34):
passing that burden onto us and start paying their workers fairly,
especially when prices are already high.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
But the service works, y'all.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
They chiming in two hundred, let's be clear now, They
reminded everyone out there. Tips still make a real difference,
especially during flow ships are shot out.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Was not for them. This isn't about greed, but it's
about getting by, all right, y'all, So let's keep this
thing going.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Have you stopped going to certain places because the tipping
pressure was the most awkward tip moment you have ever had? Well?
Speaker 10 (16:03):
So for me, there's a place downstairs at the radio,
at the radio station.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
And I really like the guy.
Speaker 9 (16:08):
He can make food.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
He never makes me food.
Speaker 10 (16:11):
I'm like, can I get this off the show? I'm
just gonna get this water and these nuts.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
He turns the nuts, get them. You know that was
my mistake to put them in your mouth. Carry on,
you make it so easy every time.
Speaker 10 (16:31):
Anyway, I don't like to tip it like he didn't
do anything.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Should have said cashows.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
All men's cashws academic.
Speaker 10 (16:50):
I'm gonna fall into it every time.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
You walk right into it. It's your fault. You're gonna
you're gonna learn the day. Let's go to the phone.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
My name is Joshin Brown from h Town.
Speaker 13 (17:04):
I come from family with big tippers.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
It was seven of us. So when my daddy took
up out the et tip b so did my mama,
so I always expect to tip too, and I worked
as a wait Chison Hotel.
Speaker 11 (17:15):
Yes, my name is PGM. Collum for Charlotte, North Carolina.
And uh with the tip situation, I actually work for
a movie company, and I feel like a tip should
be well deserved, especially if at the end of the
day all you gotta do is just come to your
house and relax and be able to just peaceful. I
feel like a tip is well deserved.
Speaker 15 (17:33):
My name is Ray from Chicago. I think that tipping
is not enough. I do got laid and I work
in the cold, and I don't get the tips like that.
So I think actually tipping should be it should be
more people tipping. I think it shouldn't be tipping when
people had to make sandwiches or go pick up their
own food from the order window. That part I don't
(17:56):
think tippy should be done well.
Speaker 13 (17:58):
I actually worked at a restaurant, So my thing about
the tipping is I get tipped sometimes from certain customers, but.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
I do also go out the way.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
I really think that some.
Speaker 13 (18:09):
People are a little much when it comes to the
tipping thing.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
All right, brut what were you saying?
Speaker 8 (18:16):
See?
Speaker 9 (18:16):
My thing is when you go to the nail shop.
Nails used to be one price. To either get your
manicure or get your nails done, you'd be one price.
Now they charge you to take it off that's ten dollars.
To get a crylic that's an extra amount. Then to
get a design on each finger, they charge you for
each finger. So by the time I leave the nail shop,
if me and the big booty Judy go my wife,
(18:37):
then it's like five hundred dollars. I'm leaving the nail
shop paying five hundred dollars because we get a manicure
and a pedicure. You used to get a massage with
your pedicure, but now you pay extra for that massage.
So once you get everything together, it's about five hundred dollars.
Then you got three or four people working on your
hands and your feet together, and then you want to
tip them. So I used to tip one hundred dollars
to the person or whatever, because you want to, you know,
(18:58):
you want to tip a good day work. They massage
you're good, but then they get used to that, so
then you start feeling funny when you don't leave one
hundred dollars. But by the time you get tired of
your bill being five and six hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
There almost passing trying to talk.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Man.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
They be saying, don't worry, I may look good for you.
I said, what, don't worry? I make look good for you.
I said, you're gonna make it look good for me.
You need to make place about for me
Hold chess man, healse woman, Yes.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Garie, you want to help you to the team's garant.

than a decade, y'all, when Ramier sat Await Honey and
his late mother attempted y'all to bring a paternity case
against jay.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Z and New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Now missus Coley stepped in as Ramierre's honey legal representative
and became a public face Yard of the effort after
the court repeatedly refuse Honey to force the rap movie
y'all to submit to a DNA test, not a legal case, Honny. Originally,
Honey was dismissed in twenty eleven, and the dismissal was
reaffirmed in twenty twelve, Yard because ruling that New Jersey
(01:29):
Family Court lacked jurisdiction y'all to hear the paternity claim, y'all. Now,
despite those rulers, Miss Coley continued, y'all, following civil actions, appeals,
and public petition y'all, insisting that the court got it
wrong and that jay Z was using legal power to
avoid accountability.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Y'all.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
And you know, and I think that I think that
boy he could be Jason, could be his dad, But Honey,
the court said that he's not. And you know put
miss Lilid, she didn't file bankruptcy hounding. Somebody need to
give her back her money, at least give her some
of the money, don't y'all think of that woman spent a
lot of money and you know, now she's dealing with
this situation and jay Z is still rich in famer

mean Rooney? Oh, I'm sorry sir and Rooney.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
So but anyway, promise did they just need to help
her out, and so somebody needs to give back some
of that money she put in, you know, going to
court with jay Z. But nevertheless, honey, none of y'all
see empathetic, honey with Miss Lilli. So we're gonna keep
her lifted up in proud huney and hope everything gets
all right, all right, moving on in Under Celebrity New y'all,

And here's what Jason had to say.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
There's a suit not too long ago by an artist
that was like hired to your label that was dismissed twice.

repeatedly pressured her to drink and have sex with him,
but she said she told them no, they said, but
without any evidence to support her claims, a judge dismissed
her case.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Twice.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Now the what you Say singer saying, honey, he is
done working along with women, honey, he said. He said,
there's truth in every joke, but it's a sad truth,
Jason said.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
He said, like, I.

Will never be alone in the room with a woman
that I work with, ever, ever, ever again.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I got a solution. Everybody gets some metal glasses meta record.

got on and stuff, you know, to do you know,
work with him and stuff. But honey, she said, no,
you may have done it for me, but you tried
to arass me. And then they said that he said
that he would sacrifice a goat, honey, to be with her.
So I don't know, sacrifice a goat, yeah, because I
guess that was part of her religions.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
You know, her name of Masa.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
So I don't know whatever the situation does, but that's
what I remember.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
That girl. I was thaking that her daddy that.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Was almost like her name too. What happened?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
She got six goats? Bring the dowry. That's called a dowry?
And when is that when you trade?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
When you trade something of value for a woman's hand,
like in certain countries, you know you d yeah, chickens.
And the more the prettier the woman is, the more
you have to give.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
So Gary and I was riding around looking for You're

But we were trying to get.
Speaker 3 (05:16):

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yeah, but the one, the one that had them bun

Speaker 2 (06:18):
But that and that almost sound like the girl name

Speaker 4 (06:24):
But close. But we had two goats, yes, and so
we got.
Speaker 9 (06:31):
You didn't get the other goat.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
You didn't get the chick. It was just time started

Speaker 3 (06:37):
And then she left Dallas and went back to Houston

But we had already paid for the goats.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
She's ready.
Speaker 4 (06:47):

two year old son and you know he was he

So we're gonna definitely keep that family lift up in praying.
He was definitely in an advocate y'all for lgbt Q.
So we're gonna keep the family lift up in Parier

The Colada Day, Hunty, is one of my favorite clues.
My Coluda Day is camel on the High. You say
camel on the launch, Just say beautiful, Neutral. That's your
(07:34):
colord for today, Neutral, y'all give.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
It up, Gary the d Did you see that poster?
Speaker 10 (07:43):
People are talking here's what's trending on the Rocky Smiling
Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
All right, y'all to talk about something that people that
have people stressed before they even grabbed their food and
uh and that's the tipping culture.
Speaker 9 (07:57):
Bratt, Yeah, Ricky, because these days it's not just rest
around to anymore. You order a coffee, they spind the
screen around twenty percent, twenty five percent, thirty percent. You
grab takeout, no table, no server, and you still ask
for a tip.
Speaker 10 (08:10):
No, it's true. But on the other side of y'all,
service workers are saying, listen, tips aren't extra, they're how
we make our money because our salaries are so low.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
All right, So let's talk about it. Where do you
tip and where you don't tip? And do you feel
that tipping culture has gotten out of control?
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Aft? What are your thoughts?
Speaker 10 (08:29):
So if you make me some coffee, like, if you're
actually doing it, I gotta tip you. But if I'm
just buying chips, don't spend it around. You didn't make
the chips, You just took them off the shelf and
handed them to me.
Speaker 9 (08:39):
Right, I'm just used to when you go in the
restaurant and you get serviced, then you tip.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Right.
Speaker 9 (08:43):
But if somebody just handing you something you ain't work,
you ain't did nothing, why you.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Want to tip?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Right, I'm in the same boat with them if you
didn't actually do some work specifically for me.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Nah, you no tip?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
And the coming from a person that don't tip at all? Gary, Well,
you don't give it off?
Speaker 4 (09:01):
You you? You?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
You should you should be uh, they should call the police.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Well, my thing is this where y'all need to be
tipping that they don't tip, Like when I go to
a drag show, they the queens get dollars, and I
think they need to increase the tips because I'm like
these girls performing honey, and they put money to get
these guys and make up and stuff out there, and
they still giving them a.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Dollar by coffee. And don't talking about the gas station.
Speaker 10 (09:23):
I don't think they'd spin the thing around the rest
around and ask for a tip there.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Well, but as well, you know it's still a tip,
but ask the places. No, I'm not gonna tip you.
I mean, when I went to do a pickup water,
why do I have to give you a tip for
a pickup orter? You just hand me the grocery the stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
So why should you got out of your car winning
they bring it out to your car. That's something different now, No,
it's not. Now if I go and get picked up
food and uh, they say it's gonna be about five minutes,
and I'll give them a tip, and I say, hey,
I'm in that car right there, and they'll bring it.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Out to the car and handing me, hand me the
food through the windows. Stuff Like what about like a
sub shops?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
You know when you go to pay for your they
make your sandwich and then you go pay for your
thing at the little record and they have the tip.
They make the sandwich, the sandwich exactly. That's all they
do is all day is make sandwiches.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
But you're not tipping that individual. They make my sandwich beautiful.
And it looked like the picture on the screen going.
Speaker 9 (10:23):
To that person. It's not going to the person. That's
just the store tip that person don't get.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Okay, that's something now that's a whole other thing we
could talk about.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
So is that it don't go to the person that
makes the sandwich.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
No, But I know when I was working at Tomic
Hands Shoes like or whatever. You know, uh, like commission,
you know, commission on yourself and your accessories and stuff
like that.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
But like you don't get a tip for that.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
You got commissions.
Speaker 9 (10:51):
But when you're not, you can't tip somebody.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Who will help any place if they're going out of
their way to make sure that you have a great experience.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
What do your thoughts?
Speaker 7 (11:00):
Took my son to get a hair put the other
haircut the other day at a new barber, and I
always tipped the barber, but when I paid for him
this time, he turned the screen around and the tips
started at twenty five percent.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Normally it's like five ten.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
No, that was back in the day.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
It started at twenty five. If they don't do.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Five and ten, nodawnore, they just start off at twenty.
I'm like, how are you gonna do twenty? In the
laws say ten and that's.
Speaker 10 (11:24):
A quarter of what you paid exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
And how much it was the haircut, It was forty dollars,
but child, they went to forty dollars.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Yeah, and that was a tall a taste sixty seven.
It wasn't a full cut. It was just a tap. Yes,
the rock hold on. It was a America that faith all. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
A fade is morety, but a tape or fade, which
is that's when you just trem a little bit on
the side, trim a little bit in the back, and
that's it.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Forty dollars, man, they're charging forty dollars for them. That's
why I'm doing every other week.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Now, what is that I don't do?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
That's eight dollars dollars?
Speaker 10 (12:04):
Twenty five percent will be ten, Yeah, it's fifty.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
That's a fifty dollars haircut for yes, for sixteen.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Back in six days.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yes, yeah, but you know what you know what bothers
me about tipping a certain Now when you go to
the car wash, I can't give the guy who dried
off my car tip because you gotta put it in
the damn mailbox.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
So they all got to split it.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
That's not right, don't I don't like that he did it,
not all them right?
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Did they do that at the Brazilian White shop? They
probably do on the screen around these girls, was raising.
Speaker 10 (12:44):
Laser your moone?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Bush? I don't like nobody else down there but myself.
Speaker 11 (12:53):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
I know what I mean. Burn a candle, anything that
around the balls.
Speaker 12 (13:15):
Good morning tips stance for to ensure prompt service. If
the service is not prompt, you shouldn't expect the tip.
But oftentimes people expect tips. In there's a notion that
black people don't tip, so it becomes self professing because
the service is crappy. I'm terrell. I'll call it from Dallas.
Speaker 13 (13:31):
My name is Tomas Mante and calling them from Port Lanuderdale, Florida.
And if I'm see that at the restaurant, I think
the kid be according to the service, not because the
name of the restaurant.
Speaker 8 (13:43):
My name is Greg Yaralling I'm from Miamus, Florida. On
tip and there, I think it's out of hand when
they automatically tells you what you have to pay the tip,
you know, because sometimes uh these ragisters, uh they gave you,
pay you no attention and they give you bad set
And I act the reward for the things that you
do right and how you served me.
Speaker 14 (14:05):
John from Louisiana. The restaurants, I'm not too concerned about it.
It's like the barbershops and the nail shops is what
I'm confused about it. If you set the price, that's
the price. You're doing a service. You're getting paid for
your service. I don't think there should be any tips.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Who is an expert on? Who's an etiquette an expert on?
We need to know the right? Can you google that?
We're gonna we're going to google how it's supposed to go,
and we're gonna let let what were called Alfrida google?
Alfrida's no but the nickname, right, your factual friend Alfred. Yeah,
(14:40):
so we're gonna come back with factual Alfrida's gonna break
all of this stuff down, and we're gonna take more
of your phone calls on the other side, get out
us eight sixty sixty nine or I c k. E.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Y ricks By the Morning show.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
We have glarly touched a nerve this morning talking about tipping, Yeah, Ricky.
Speaker 9 (14:56):
A lot of you, a lot of them, will say
that the awkwardness is the worst part in that moment
when the screen flipping around and the employee is watching
and you feel like your character is being judged in
real time. Some of you said you tip just to
avoid the side eye, not because the service was amazing.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Right.
Speaker 10 (15:11):
So we're also hearing from people who say tipping has
changed the way they go out. Some of you avoid
certain spots all together because you feel pressured before you
we've even gotten your food. Others said they'll tip cash
just to keep it simple and skip the screen all together.
And then there's the bigger issue that keeps coming up.
Why are customers carrying the responsibility for wages? A lot
of listeners are saying, you know, companies need to stop
(15:34):
passing that burden onto us and start paying their workers fairly,
especially when prices are already high.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
But the service works, y'all.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
They chiming in two hundred, let's be clear now, They
reminded everyone out there. Tips still make a real difference,
especially during flow ships are shot out.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Was not for them. This isn't about greed, but it's
about getting by, all right, y'all, So let's keep this
thing going.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Have you stopped going to certain places because the tipping
pressure was the most awkward tip moment you have ever had? Well?
Speaker 10 (16:03):
So for me, there's a place downstairs at the radio,
at the radio station.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
And I really like the guy.
Speaker 9 (16:08):
He can make food.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
He never makes me food.
Speaker 10 (16:11):
I'm like, can I get this off the show? I'm
just gonna get this water and these nuts.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
He turns the nuts, get them. You know that was
my mistake to put them in your mouth. Carry on,
you make it so easy every time.
Speaker 10 (16:31):
Anyway, I don't like to tip it like he didn't
do anything.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Should have said cashows.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
All men's cashws academic.
Speaker 10 (16:50):
I'm gonna fall into it every time.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
You walk right into it. It's your fault. You're gonna
you're gonna learn the day. Let's go to the phone.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
My name is Joshin Brown from h Town.
Speaker 13 (17:04):
I come from family with big tippers.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
It was seven of us. So when my daddy took
up out the et tip b so did my mama,
so I always expect to tip too, and I worked
as a wait Chison Hotel.
Speaker 11 (17:15):
Yes, my name is PGM. Collum for Charlotte, North Carolina.
And uh with the tip situation, I actually work for
a movie company, and I feel like a tip should
be well deserved, especially if at the end of the
day all you gotta do is just come to your
house and relax and be able to just peaceful. I
feel like a tip is well deserved.
Speaker 15 (17:33):
My name is Ray from Chicago. I think that tipping
is not enough. I do got laid and I work
in the cold, and I don't get the tips like that.
So I think actually tipping should be it should be
more people tipping. I think it shouldn't be tipping when
people had to make sandwiches or go pick up their
own food from the order window. That part I don't
(17:56):
think tippy should be done well.
Speaker 13 (17:58):
I actually worked at a restaurant, So my thing about
the tipping is I get tipped sometimes from certain customers, but.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
I do also go out the way.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
I really think that some.
Speaker 13 (18:09):
People are a little much when it comes to the
tipping thing.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
All right, brut what were you saying?
Speaker 8 (18:16):
See?
Speaker 9 (18:16):
My thing is when you go to the nail shop.
Nails used to be one price. To either get your
manicure or get your nails done, you'd be one price.
Now they charge you to take it off that's ten dollars.
To get a crylic that's an extra amount. Then to
get a design on each finger, they charge you for
each finger. So by the time I leave the nail shop,
if me and the big booty Judy go my wife,
(18:37):
then it's like five hundred dollars. I'm leaving the nail
shop paying five hundred dollars because we get a manicure
and a pedicure. You used to get a massage with
your pedicure, but now you pay extra for that massage.
So once you get everything together, it's about five hundred dollars.
Then you got three or four people working on your
hands and your feet together, and then you want to
tip them. So I used to tip one hundred dollars
to the person or whatever, because you want to, you know,
(18:58):
you want to tip a good day work. They massage
you're good, but then they get used to that, so
then you start feeling funny when you don't leave one
hundred dollars. But by the time you get tired of
your bill being five and six hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
There almost passing trying to talk.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Man.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
They be saying, don't worry, I may look good for you.
I said, what, don't worry? I make look good for you.
I said, you're gonna make it look good for me.
You need to make place about for me
