Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast,
Elvis fifteen Morning Show. It is the fifteen minute morning
(00:24):
show podcast. Yay, yeah, here we go. Didn't get enough
of us on the show today? You can get fifteen
more minutes. It's a bonus. Let's see who's here. There's
Gandhi in Columbus. You're coming back to New York tonight though,
right tomorrow, tomorrow, and you'll be in Monday.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I'll be in Monday.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I hate when you're not here, so you know I
love you. Guys'll see Scotty Bees there in the other room,
and there's Scary and there's uh, Garrett looks very busy.
Got it, Yes, he's very busy. And there's Danielle, and
there's Nate Hey. There's a great article in today's New
York Post about how restaurants servers are tricking you into
giving bigger tips. Can you can you get her where
(01:06):
she go?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Look how she dresses to get bigger tips. This is
what they're saying. Oh did you get that? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
They're saying that if a server a way tress comes
to you with shiny lip, gloss, manicured nails, she she
squats next to the table, blonde hair, Southern accent and
smiling and booty shorts. She's trying to get an extra
large tip. I just thought, little sexist little article about
(01:43):
how you can dress up in your daisy dukes.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Well, I don't think when I waited tables and bartend
and I don't think there was any one thing in
particular that insured a bigger tip. I think just being
nice guaranteed you the minimum. Making sure pants didn't have
to do that, it wouldn't be much the slash. Yeah,
I don't think there was really anything that you did,
and the girls usually got the really pretty girls. I
(02:06):
ended up getting more tips than it work.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Again.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Our friend Janine who used to work here, she used
to scoop ice cream in her spare time and she
had a dedicated tip shirt that she would wear when
she wanted those days where she could just get and
it was happened to be low caught and tight. So,
you know, I don't know if there's truth to it.
I'm not saying it's right, but you know some people
do it.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
See, we used to give people back change in denominations
where they kind of had to leave us more instead
of instead of like if you hinted me a twenty
and asked for a change, instead of giving you a
ten of five and five ones, I would give you
a ten of five and a five, hoping that instead
of leaving me like twelve bucks, maybe you would leave
me fifteen because it was just easier.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Ahh yeah, that's clever. I love that.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, there you go. That the mathematician in gandhies.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
And sometimes backfire though, because if they didn't have small
enough bills, they wouldn't leave you anything.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yes, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
So see on the show who's the cheapest tipper, let's
say Scotty V. He's not true, yeah.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Tip.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
By the way, it was a question I asked, perhaps
Scotty Bee.
Speaker 7 (03:11):
No, okay, as he's as I broke away from my dad,
you know, he's old school. He's like, oh, you know,
you just double the tax. You know, that's just that's
not the way it works anymore. That's very old school.
That was very old school that I was always at
least twenty percent.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Now, what's scary, I'm gonna say, Gandhi, I'll tell you
why we've butted heads before. When we've gotten the bill
at certain places where you're like wait a second, that's included,
and we've kind of like because again mathematician adding things up,
and I'm just like, ah, fuck it, just throw you know,
whatever you feel. I tend to throw it around. But
I'm not the best tipper in the room, not at all.
But I'm just saying, I don't.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Know if you everyone else here everyone tips great.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I didn't know you were a cheap tipper. Gandhi.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I don't think I'm a cheap tipper. I think when
we go out and there are like six people and
the gratuities already included, adding a little extra is great,
but Scary wants every body to then double it, and
I think that's not really the thing to do with
other people's money. I will give him the money. I
always give him the money. But there, boy, don't I know,
don't make the same amount of money. I'm like, you
(04:12):
can't ask them for that.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
But God, when you let's admit, when the tip is
included and you say we'll give a little extra, it's
a little extra, right, just a.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Little no, I mean, it depends on how good the
service is. Like tip shaming you, I know he is.
He's trying.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
That's okay.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
He can have his opinion though.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Because there have been times where we go out and
then some people can't afford as much. Say well, i'll
get it right, so he'll chip in nice will, which
is nice.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Let's talk about scary and how much money he has
to spend on dinners.
Speaker 8 (04:41):
Kids he doesn't have, he's not married.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I'm not putting. I'm not married. I don't live with anybody.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
I don't have kids. I'm not putting anyone through college.
And I never had like duty dipe apparently diapers. I
don't ever know what what pampers and diapers call you.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
The addorment like the cost of having a.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
You don't have a yard, brash Jesus Scott's lawn can commercials.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
No, but if you think about it.
Speaker 8 (05:10):
In the door, and he does like an alarm.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
System pretty much, but he does live in a warm
bed room apartment and I have, you know, so I say,
I get to save more, Thank God.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
He's just barreling through everyone's shade right now, and I
don't hear it.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
It doesn't exist.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I don't genuinely use all the products.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
I'm just focused on what was what was thrown at
me initially, and that was yeah you Elvis called it out.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
He goes, yeah, scary. Why do you have so much money?
Speaker 5 (05:37):
I have a little bit more disposal income because I
don't have these other debts on my hands.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Oh and by the.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Way, I put myself to Brooklyn College, which was like
a you know, like a city.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Are they a sponsored while you're bringing.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Up they were a city? They were?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Have they ever been a sponsor of yours?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
No? Never, never, You've always wanted them on the air.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Well today you make him.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
But if you think about it, so many people are
saddled with college debt, like into their thirties and forties.
I see some of our friends and I'm like, oh
my god, what's the name of that guy? Freddie mac
Sally may Sally all this money to this company.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Back Bernie Mac. No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Mayor Cheese, Freddy.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Not Bernie Mac. That's a comedian right.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yesterday birthday?
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Making your points. So that's why I made my point.
That's why I kind of all, can we go hard?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Can you flip it?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Then?
Speaker 4 (06:32):
What makes you not tip? Do you ever not tip?
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Never?
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I always give the tent.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
If it's horrible, I will do ten percent. If it's
like the worst service ever. But again, when you don't
tip people, you're you're making them pay for you. Because
people have to tip out other people based on what
you've bought, then they shouldn't be jerks.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I can actually tell you the last time I didn't tip.
It was at the Claim Jumper in Burbank, California. We
went over there for lunch. There's a group of of
us and this waiter was the worst waiter I've ever heard.
Like we would be like trying to flag him down
and he's like, yeah, I see, and then he would
wave us away, like do this shoe thing, and then
he'd be sitting chatting, talking with friends and shit like that.
(07:15):
And then I finally got up and I go and
find the manager and I say, this is the worst
service I have ever had any restaurant.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
How was that responded to?
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Because I'm sorry? And then the manager took care of
our table. But this kid, I don't know what he
had against me. I didn't leave any No, I did
we leave something for them.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
You're scary. If if the service was so bad it
was like just almost funny it was so bad, would
you leave a tip?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I might leave last, but I would still leave a tip.
I can't.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
You wouldn't go gurgansha one like you usually I wouldn't
go big, you wouldn't go But I mean, let's talk
about the.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Eight hundred pound gorilla in the room.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Elvis, you're the best tipper and I see what you
I mean, Elvis, Elvis is so and he's so. You're
so like you care about everybody who who you come
in contact with.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I would love to wait on you in the future
when i'm not but.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
If you give me shitty service, I'm not going to
go hog on you. I'm not gonna give it.
Speaker 7 (08:11):
Big.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
You have has been hot, yes, absolutely, okay with that
article that you introduced, sort of yeah.
Speaker 8 (08:24):
No, but yeah, but they're not wearing low cut now.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Especially since since COVID rolled through and just decimated the
hospitality industry. I really, more than ever, I try to
do my best to take care of people that take
care of us. Before we go out to eat. It's
much more than just like gobble on your food and go.
We experience it, We have a good time, We have
conversations that are meaningful. Those are moments that I cherish.
(08:47):
Some of the moments I cherish most in my life
is going out with lunch friends and that kind of stuff.
So yeah, I want whoever's hanging out with us and
waiting ones to reap in the benefits, reap the benefits.
Speaker 9 (09:00):
I admit, I stink at maths. So if the number
isn't at the bottom of the bill, like I'm sitting
there with my fingers going twenty, so I appreciate the
restaurants that have the fifteen percent, the eighteen percent and
the twenty percent on there. So if I want to
go up, at least I know the the threshold of
twenty percent.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
It's really a sum.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
We just take the first two digits, add a zero
and double it. Okay, there, genius, did it?
Speaker 8 (09:22):
I just moved a deal point.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I just move the.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Ten.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
You got to double it?
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Have you ever?
Speaker 8 (09:32):
Actually no, you move the deathmal point over and you
double it.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Yeah, yes, and double and double right. You gotta double
it though. That's you know what though, That's why I
like the numbers there.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Here's the problem, though, Garrett, I've been to restaurants before
where they have the suggested tips and the math is wrong,
like it's it's rire Yeah, where the twenty percent was
actually like twenty five.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
They fuck you up. I don't care.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
They did the work for me, no problem, but get
give it to me.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I know someone whose tip is always one hundred percent.
They will tip, they will just double the bill.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Wow, I know.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
No he I'm not gonna say, but no, it's someone
I know who lives uptown that that's great. Well, it's
so much easier to just give him what the bill is.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Listen, if I had the money, I would one hundred
percent do that. I would give one hundred percent tip
if I was loaded, you know.
Speaker 9 (10:25):
Oh, without giving out any type of monetary number. Do
you remember the biggest tip you ever left?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
For what reason?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
No, no, yeah, he.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Won't say, well, no, that's no.
Speaker 9 (10:39):
I'm not saying the number.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I'm just saying, do you remember why you left?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I remember some pretty big tips. Yeah. I was with
you some of you guys.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Actually one night, well you were with me one night.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Where were we?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
We went to Brooklyn chop House and then we went
for a drink afterwards.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Oh, I was drunk. It doesn't count that we were
all out gandhi. When Jeff Smith ordered all the wine.
I was going to guess that, but I.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
We're at the Michael Mina Steakhouse.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Definitely let bigger tips. The mistake, I guarantee I was
a big one.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
What that was a big one? Pretty big.
Speaker 8 (11:12):
I was a big tip.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
It was an expensive dinner and a big tip. And
so you can always tell because then we like went
to grab a drink at the bar and the staff's
coming over like.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
You really didn't need to do that.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Thank you. I love you so much. Thank you. Really,
I think you made a mistake here. No, there's no
mistake there. This also is also the same night someone
at the table, there were a lot of people at
the table. Someone at the table got drunken, called Gandhi
a dirty word.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Oh yes, like multiple times the person.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Got drunk and did a lot of things at the
table that they probably let's.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Just move on.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (11:44):
Wow, I remember when I took you out for the
first time post your surgery, all of us. I was like,
all right, cool, I can take it off for lunch.
I can pay for it. And we went to Walkers.
I'm like, all right, I saved some money because I
was like, all right, I'm going to pay everything, the
tip and everything.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
You got a soup you ordered soup, ripped.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Out planning, Garrett, I see what you did there.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
If them out today, if you're cheap, only take friends
out who just had gastric sleeve life house.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I was ready to go. It's like he's done so
much for me.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
I was like, all right and then go, I'm just gonna.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Have this se Well, thank you, Garrett. You can still
take me out? All right?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Fair enough? I thought that counts, and you got the credit.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Look at stomach. Fair enough.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Uh oh, we have a meeting coming up here, we do.
This has been a very pompous, boogie little conversation.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Everybody deals with tipping. Some of us just tip more
than others.
Speaker 9 (12:33):
And I just need the numbers there.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Okay, fine?
Speaker 7 (12:37):
And when and when does when does tipping stop? Like
every place you go to has a tip jar every
place doesn't, and.
Speaker 8 (12:42):
I'm always doing it.
Speaker 10 (12:43):
Like yesterday I went to the and I ordered cheeseburgers
and it said do you want to add a tip?
And I did and I was just ordering it at
the counter. They weren't bringing it. It was just like,
but I felt like they should get something, so I
gave him something.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
And what is this though? How come when I go
online and ordered clothes and stuff, they want me to
tip the person who put my order together. Yeah, that's very.
Speaker 10 (13:06):
Clever because they'll go, hey, buy the person putting your
order together a cup of coffee.
Speaker 8 (13:11):
And ok.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
This is a new thing.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Yeah, and oh here's another place you don't tip.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
This is okay, I got one.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
When you just go to a store, sometimes it's the airport,
like the Hudson News, and they have that the iPads out,
or even at any of these other places, and you're
you're buying like a soda and like a box of
tissues or whatever, and then there's a line for gratuity
just because they have the iPad.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Out, they flip it over and they make you feel guilty.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah, it says, would you like to add a gratuity
for what?
Speaker 10 (13:41):
It's not as if nobody helped you. If someone helped me,
then I could see leaving something.
Speaker 8 (13:46):
I wouldn't have got that soda by myself, the sandwich.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
As soon as I see that iPad, I knew this
was gonna us putting a virtual tip jar out there, like, hey,
if you want to thank us for our show to
that bo.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Well, there are people who do that. I mean, we
all know people who have their cash app in their
Instagram profile, just begging for money from anyone who will
give it to them, and they make money doing it.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
CASHPDE people do that, and I don't participate in that.
All right, we got to get out of here, have
a beautiful day. Thank you for listening and watching a
podcast about things that are very boogie. What do you
do waiting? Are you having a seizer?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Bye bye.
