Hey, Levin.

Hey, dubner.

When I say the word tipping, what do you think of?

I think of discomfort.

Discomfort for whom?

Oh, for the tipper.

For me, I don't like to tip.

Tipping's unpleasant.

Now, it's not that you're an ungenerous person.

I find you quite generous.

Yeah, no, I just don't like social interactions that much.

And I don't like the idea that I'm not sure how much to tip

or what's fair or what's right.

And it leads me in the exact opposite direction.

Whenever there's someone who's doing a job that

deserves to be tipped or that socially we think should be tipped,

it's always my inclination to not let them do their job.

So I always want to carry my own bags in airports or in hotels.

And obviously, I can't serve my own food at the restaurant.

But if I could, I'd go right in the kitchen

and make my own food.

Can I say something about you?
