When did the minimum gratuity on restaurant meals increase to 20 per cent? Does a coffee take-out really need a tip? And what is an online travel agency doing asking for a tip after it’s just taken over £100 from me? In this episode of the travel podcast, I ask America to have a word with itself over its tipping culture and how it doesn't help anyone.
I won't be asking for any tips for the service of this podcast, neither with my newsletter, which is free delivery every Friday to your inbox. Subscribe here.
