Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh, tipping and different things to tip. Who do you tip?
How much do you tip? That comes up a lot
on our show because we have vastly different opinions on tipping.
You got Thor who doesn't want to tip anybody if
he could, if he didn't have to. We were we
were traveling together, and we and Thor went and got
lunch at this little cafe the first day we're there,
(00:23):
and watching him write a strong line through the tip
line was one of the funniest things I've seen in
a long time. Like he wanted it to be known,
no tip, and he's like, what is she doings? Just
giving me a coffee or whatever it was?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
It was.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
It was a breakfast. It was a coffee and a bagel.
That's what Eddie goes because they I got the coffee,
they turned around and poured it, and I do my
own cream and sugar. The bagel was toasted, so they
toasted it and then they handed me two packets of
cream cheese. So what am I tipping before toasting it?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
For doing?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
No, I got the.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Exact same order at the exact same cafe two mornings
and row and tipped a dollar each time.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Wow, you would a wastitudo throw them a dollar?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Why why?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
So that that's the difference is you got one person
who does whatever want to tip, and one person who
can't help the tip, which.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Is gotteen dollars for a coffee and a bagel? Like
that's crazy. Why should why they didn't set the prices?
I mean, but they're making money, like if they're working there, Like,
that's it's fifteen dollars for a coffee and a bagel.
I'm not tipping for that. You didn't do anything.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I was going to argue, you're not going to get
this fifteen dollars. It should be six bucks. Yeah, if
that what I mean, that's why lower your prices on tip?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Oh dang? Will you blame the company?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
So yes, vastly different thoughts there on tipping. Well, Sky
had a tipping situation come up and now it's gotten
really bonkers.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah, and and my my husband is at the root
of all of all of these problems. So excuse me all,
I'm a delight. Why would I be at the root
of venue problem?
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Light?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
So, my family, if you've been following my family saga
of my my mom and she's recently gotten married.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
To new dad, he's not my new husband dancing around
in US.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
So they have chosen to reside up in Laguna Woods.
They I have to I have to clarify my Lagunas
or I get in trouble Laguna Woods. And so since
they're up there, now, if we're getting together normally, we're
going to try and find a spot in North County
to meet because you know, for me and my brother, yeah,
(02:44):
kind of halfway for me and my brother who are
here in San Diego.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Them up there, great, we'll meet halfway.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
So it's my niece's birthday and we all decide we
are going to go to the delightful Benny Hannah in
Carlsbad to join the family for my nieces a fifteenth
birthday party.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I don't care. Chance to get a little Rocky's choice
for some and maybe me new dad, Oh that would
be It's a light.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
I mean really whatever.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
So for the record, that Carl's Bad Benny Hannah is
is really nice. I don't I guess I'd never been
in there before.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
It's like so.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Big and open and airy and like they got this
great outdoor area. But whatever, So we're all there though
I know, well, I don't know you know, sometimes you're
always like cramped in there and there's like a tiny
waiting area like this, this location should be in Vegas.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
I was, I'm.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Always uncomfortable what I'm waiting around in the one down
here because I feel like I don't know where to
stand and I'm in a way all the time.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
There's like four spots to sit and there's like thirty
people waiting.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Yeah, so so Carl's bad. They got it going on.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
But anyway, so we're there, we're having a meal and
we're a party of eight, so we're taking up the
entire table. Our chef does an amazing job, does all
the lovely tricks. We all like to see, the egg roll,
the beating heart, the pac man, we got it all.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
That's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, I knew you.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Would enjoy that, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
And so it's getting towards the end of the meal,
and I know that my husband.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
This has been happening a lot lately.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
I think it's because he doesn't leave the house often. Uh,
he has not brought his wallet. We've had some incidents
where he's forgotten his wallet because he's just.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
That.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
So I was the one driving, so it's not like.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
He needed anyway, but normally every time he leaves the
house and yeah, and I'm driving and driv Yeah, well
someone's a little type A and the other person is
just you know, just enjoy on the ride, so doesn't
have his wallet, and and we're, you know, we're wrapping
up the show. And so that's when I take some
money out of my purse and I hand it to
(05:01):
him kind of under the table, and I'm like, okay,
you know, make sure you tip the.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Chef before he leaves.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I'm sorry, tip the chef before he leaves.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I've been going to Benny Hannah the chef my whole
life and love it and go often, probably more than
anybody here. I've never seen anybody do that before. Tip
the chef like cash. Yeah, Like that's wild, that's a
wild move.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Could you just get the bill and it goes. I'm
sure they probably did. You put a tip in. I
wonder if I had.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
It has to be because the servers don't do much
other than bringing drinks and then they'll bring over your
soup and salad and that's about it. Yeah, so I'm
assuming most of my tip is going to the chefs.
A side tip to the chef, I don't even know
what you're talking about, Like, I've never seen that before.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Yeah, so we saw this done I don't know, maybe
like eight ten years ago, and we're like, oh, is
that a thing?
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Should we be doing that?
Speaker 4 (05:59):
And then we we pretty much do that every time
we go, and then when we were there. Actually, the
reason I thought about it is because the table across
from us, I saw that guy do the move where
he you know, thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
This is such an under the it isn't under the
table move. I don't tells you that it's probably not done.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I don't know if it's because if you're dining with
other parties, like if you're not taking up the whole table,
you don't want.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
To make the other people feel bad.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I don't know. So when you go to like outback
with your family, do you ask to speak to the
chef to tell him thank you, and then as he's
walking away you slip him a twenty? You're just tipping chefs?
Speaker 4 (06:36):
No, because they don't sit in front of me and
do a show and flip.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
In their head when they seat you. Do you tip
them now too?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
No?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
No, because again they're not doing a show. They're not
wishing happy birthday. They're not, Oh you know, I'm gonna
flip this shrimp at you, and then I don't, and
then I don't.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
They are, but.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
They're not like if they if they sat me with
the song and dance and honored the birthday person, maybe
maybe there would be it.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
But I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I saw this stun once and you guys know I'm
an overtipper. We all know, and so and so yeah,
and and then I, like I said, I saw the
guy at the table across from us do it, which
reminded me. And then I knew the hobby didn't have
his wallet, so he wasn't going to be on it.
So I took some money out of my purse.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Why are you hand it to him when don't you
just handed to the chef because he's at the man's job.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Another thing that's so wild. Guy's like one of the
biggest feminists I know, But then when it comes to
certain things, she's like, she goes to old she drove there.
Guy doesn't have a wallet, but he's leaving the leaving
the tip. She cleans up there for his plate. When
he's done, she cooks like it's crazy.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
So he's n seat right next to the cook. So
that's why. If I was n s And, I would
have done it. But since he was n sea and
and I don't know why, it's always like a hand
down low, like kind of like a handshake, like you're
entering a club.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Like nobody sees you really odd.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Yeah, so so okay, so I give him the money.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Appen up.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
My mom's over on the other side of me, so
we're ship chat and chit chatting shows over we're leaving. Okay, great,
and I don't I don't think about it again. And
then on the way home, we got to stop at
CVS and I have to pick up a prescription. My
daughter wants a few back to school items. Tip the
pharmacist again if they can be a show and dance.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
But they're getting your medicine, Like weren't the cafe and
the person's just getting your bagel, So I'd assume they're
they're getting your medicine. They're moving around, you might as
well give them a dotor they.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Flip the pill into your pocket or something if they do.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
If they staple your bag really fancy, do they get
a dollar like if.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
They flip it around and then staple it into some
sort of like orgammy flower.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
That'd be beautiful. So I'm in doing the prescription thing.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
They're walking around CVS and uh, you know, and I'm like, okay,
we'll meet up at self check and I'll you know,
check you guys out after I get the prescription. And
that's when I meet up with them, and I notice
my husband has two lottery tickets in his pocket, like
sticking out of his back pocket, which is I think, weird.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Why aren't you just holding him in your hand?
Speaker 4 (09:04):
But okay, and then I'm like, oh, how did I
thought you didn't have your wallet? How did Because the
CBS has like a vending machine inside where you can
get the lottery the scratchers. I said, I thought you
didn't have your wallet, and he goes, oh, I forgot
to tip the Benny Hanna chef, so I bought lottery
tickets instead.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
He stole them tip money money, my tip.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Money, and then it should have been his tip money,
and now you're buying a lot of scratchers with it.
It's why did he he didn't see that he forgot
the money and go, hey, I forgot if here's the
money back.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Right, thank you Emily.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
That's what I would have expected, Like Bro's tipping, can't
keeping it tip himself?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah? Why does he have to give her the money?
It's their money, like they share a bank.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
But it's just weird if like money is allocated for
something and then.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
You I understand that, but he forgot it, why would
he give it back to you? You guys share a
bath first. If you forgotten, I get like forgetting and stupid,
but like once he forgot, he's gonna go here. Here
you go, Mom, here's your money back.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
I'm not mom like that, but just like I would
if that was her cash and her wallet.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Yeah, and I get it. It's I know what you're sitting.
It's a different situation than you and your man, I think,
because you and your guy have to have a big accounts.
If I gave my wife a twenty and she forgot
to tip somebody and she didn't give it back to me,
and I found out she used it for something else,
I'd be like, I asked what happened, But I'm not
going to be mad that she didn't give it back
to me.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Like, yeah, would you be mad if she bought lottery
tickets and hit and then wouldn't share it with you.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I wish I could see happening. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, it's something about the fact it was lottery tickets,
like if he spent it on a loaf of bread
like that would hit me different. And also thank you,
and also like if you remembered in the restaurant that
you didn't get to tip the guy, like I would
have tracked him down and given him the tip money.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
So yeah, he did the show. Bro. Did you not
hear about that with you?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
And I've never seen you tip the chef.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Yeah, well, because I'm not paying. I feel that's weird
if I'm not the one paying.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
But so do you do onion train?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yeah, it was what he did the show, But he
did the show.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
The man deserves his tip. Go dive back right now
and go get it. Yeah, I would feel really bad
about that.
