Fun fact about me, most of my co-hosts know this, I love Subway. Not being paid to say it, I just do always have. I didn't know that. I didn't know that either. I did. I know it worked there. We talked about it multiple times on the show before. I've never seen you eat Subway. Yeah, we always get Jimmy Jones. Actually, she's right. You never eat it here, though. here though. Well, because they're the ones that offered a pay and you guys want the Jimmy

John. So I'm only with I've never seen you eat Subway. Yeah, we always get Jimmy Johns. Actually, she's right. You never eat it here, though.

Well, because they're the ones that offer to pay, and you guys want the Jimmy John. So I'm a subway guy. I'm a subway guy. I'm a subway man. I know you. You have one sandwich that you order every single time. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and I was getting my favorite sandwich the other day. footlong turkey with chips inside.

What you asked for the chips there?

You don't do it yourself? No. Are you serious? They're not supposed to do that. They're the artists. I'm just letting them do their craft. You're just telling them how to art. I used to work there and I never put chips in in for anybody the total came out to around 17 bucks

yeah probably because of your chip fee and I'm thinking that is quite a bit of dough yeah so I'm

paying and then the prompt comes up on the credit card machine how much do you want to tip

oh here we go Jim I'm already paying $17 for this.

Yes, but you're also asking for chips.

So what do you do?

Two things changed my mind.

One, I looked across the counter and the employee is staring at me with big puppy dog-like

eyes.

Like I made this for you with my own hands you're probably the

only one in there so they know I'm sweating my blood is in this sandwich and the

second factor that subway was playing our radio station over the speakers at

the time so I felt kind of obligated I tipped right I t You tipped, right? I tipped them very well. I'll just say that. And then I see an article this morning that says a new survey found 76.1% of people believe tipping has gone too far. Yeah. Brooke, you agree? I mean, where was I the other day where they asked for a tip and I'm like, I haven't even talked to anyone. The biggest percentage of people who believe it's gone too far is actually the service workers themselves. Oh, really? And it's not that they don't want more money. They love more money. They just want a higher wage so they don't even have to worry about tips. I know, seriously.

Then they have to practice the dough eyes that they were giving at you.

You know, but people don't like living wages, you know, the employers don't anyway.

The anti-tipping trend appears to be taking hold now.

Around 74% of service workers have noticed customers are now tipping less.

Because people are exhausted by it, right? And it's so expensive already.
