Episode Description:

Tipping. We don’t love it, but we still do it. In this episode we unpack tipping culture and how it became such a fixture in everyday life. We look at countries where tipping isn’t expected, the history that brought us here, and the surprising jobs where people now expect a tip. Whether you’re leaving a few dollars on the table or awkwardly wondering if you should tip your dog groomer, one thing is clear: tipping is here to stay.
