Kevin McHugh: Banked Head of Publishing on tipping culture becoming more popular in New Zealand - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Tipping culture could be becoming more popular here. 

Numbers from the financial information site, Banked, suggest 60% of Kiwis sometimes or often leave a tip. 

Almost 47% of New Zealanders think tipping is a good thing, while 34% say the opposite. 

Banked Head of Publishing Kevin McHugh told Mike Hosking that tipping culture here has primarily been affected by the United States and as a result has become more popular. 

He said that the cost-of-living crisis does play into it, and those who tend to tip are the ones who have higher salaries.
