=== Tipping Mania Gripping America (05:59) ===

[00:00:00]  Speaking of pandemics sweeping the nation, there is one widespread mania, like a sickness of sorts, gripping the nation, like a sickness of sorts, gripping the nation, going unreported on.
[00:00:21]  And of course I'm talking about this mania I'm talking about is tipping mania.
[00:00:28]  I've been hearing about Tipping Mania.
[00:00:30]  Wow, so you've been listening to the truth-tellers, Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, Matt Taibbi, doing a 50-long tweet thread on Tipping Mania that you won't read about on MSNBC.
[00:00:45]  Well, I only heard about it because I subscribed to all their bonus content.
[00:00:50]  Oh, cool.
[00:00:51]  So I pay them extra money on top of what they already, you know, they're receiving from myself extra money.
[00:00:57]  I pay them that to see that information.
[00:00:59]  So, yeah, I did.
[00:01:00]  How dare you?
[00:01:00]  How dare you, Tony, compare what they do to simple wait service or what else do you do?
[00:01:09]  Delivering, delivering packages.
[00:01:13]  More and more people are tipping their delivery driver.
[00:01:15]  This is crazy.
[00:01:16]  Have you heard about this?
[00:01:17]  Everybody is doing it.
[00:01:18]  It's the coolest thing now.
[00:01:20]  Have you heard about this?
[00:01:22]  Specifically UPS guys and gals.
[00:01:26]  I think you're supposed to tip them now.
[00:01:27]  It's weird.
[00:01:28]  But hey, it is what it is.
[00:01:31]  It's the world we live in.
[00:01:33]  I've heard that people are getting canceled for not tipping their UPS guys and gals.
[00:01:37]  It's crazy out there and we don't support the cancellation, but, you know, the cancelling is a devastating thing.
[00:01:44]  And, uh, you know, if you have to avoid it, you have to go along and get along and perfectly understand.
[00:01:49]  Yeah, I get it.
[00:01:51]  We're not going to judge you either way.
[00:01:53]  Uh, so this is from the Seattle Times.
[00:01:55]  I saw this sort of in my, in my local area, uh, the Seattle Times, notoriously shitty newspaper.
[00:02:02]  Um, I think there's one good guy.
[00:02:05]  There's at least one good guy in the Seattle Times who's like a pro-union guy.
[00:02:10]  I don't know if we talked about this.
[00:02:13]  So one of the one of the old folks homes I deliver to, there's this sweet lady that receives all the packages.
[00:02:20]  She's very like type A, very meticulous and very like on top of everything.
[00:02:26]  So I could see how she might be a tough person to work with.
[00:02:30]  But as far as like if I'm trying to get rid of like 20 packages quickly, like somebody who has a system and knows what's up, it's very beneficial.
[00:02:38]  But she's also nice.
[00:02:39]  I also like her.
[00:02:40]  And she's from a union family.
[00:02:42]  So we talk about union stuff.
[00:02:44]  Right.
[00:02:45]  And like her dad was a union guy and I think she was a nurse for years and now this is kind of like her retirement job.
[00:02:53]  But she told me about this article, this op-ed in the Seattle Times about the upcoming UPS negotiations, Teamsters UPS negotiations.
[00:03:03]  And she was like, you know, I really liked this article.
[00:03:06]  And he was like, you know, really fair.
[00:03:09]  And I was like, what does that mean?
[00:03:10]  But She's like, but they talked to a driver, an anonymous driver, who said he was happy with his wages and hoped that we didn't strike.
[00:03:21]  And I was like, oh, that's weird.
[00:03:23]  And she was like, yeah.
[00:03:24]  She's like, yeah, I don't think you should be saying that going into negotiations.
[00:03:29]  I was like, she's like, if you're the anonymous driver, I think you should probably shut the fuck up.
[00:03:37]  Uh, she was like, I'm going to send it to you.
[00:03:39]  And I was like, no, I'll find it.
[00:03:40]  I was like, I'm going to look for this article tonight.
[00:03:42]  Yeah.
[00:03:43]  And I, and I looked it up and the guy was like very, very pro labor.
[00:03:48]  Whoever wrote this article was very pro labor.
[00:03:52]  Um, and then yeah, spoke to somebody, some driver who, who said that, who said that, you know, hope didn't strike or whatever.
[00:03:59]  And then the columnist response was, um, Well, I guess we'll have to see what the underpaid part-time employees think about their wages when the Teamsters consider they're negotiating.
[00:04:14]  It's like, fuck yeah, man.
[00:04:15]  You're not the only one.
[00:04:15]  You're not the only one working.
[00:04:17]  You got a lot of other people, you know, alongside you to think about.
[00:04:21]  That's the whole point of being in a union.
[00:04:23]  Yeah.
[00:04:24]  Also, like, want more for yourself.
[00:04:27]  It's OK.
[00:04:27]  You can want more for yourself, you know?
[00:04:30]  Also, it's just like, You gotta give the company some guff.
[00:04:35]  If you're in a union, you can't just be like, no, we're all good here.
[00:04:41]  No, you gotta make something up.
[00:04:44]  You gotta be like, oh, we want a new uniform distributor.
[00:04:47]  These uniforms suck ass.
[00:04:48]  Well, which they do.
[00:04:49]  But, you know, something.
[00:04:50]  Something.
[00:04:52]  You gotta keep them busy.
[00:04:53]  You gotta make sure they're earning their paycheck.
[00:04:56]  And they're not going to, they're not going to respect you if you don't ask for anything.
[00:05:00]  You know what I mean?
[00:05:01]  It's like, if you come in there and you're like, no, I'm all good.
[00:05:03]  They're going to be like, what are you, stupid?
[00:05:05]  Okay.
[00:05:06]  All right.
[00:05:07]  So that means we can, if you're good, that means we can probably get you to be a little uncomfortable then.
[00:05:13]  Let's see how long it takes you to speak up.
[00:05:16]  How like, well, if you're saying you're good now, then there's probably some room for whatever.
[00:05:21]  What's the opposite of improvement?
[00:05:22]  Yeah.
[00:05:23]  It sounds good.
[00:05:25]  It's downgrade some stuff.
[00:05:26]  Let's see how long it takes you to speak up, which is literally what they would do.
[00:05:32]  But anyway, so Seattle Times, not all bad, but in general, pretty, as we'll see here, insufferable.
[00:05:41]  One Seattle business is the headline.
[00:05:44]  One Seattle business is taking a stand against tipping mania.

=== Tipping Mania (00:54) ===

[00:05:48]  Out of control.
[00:05:53]  So you remember Beatlemania.
[00:05:55]  This is has nothing on tipping mania.
[00:05:57]  Yeah.
[00:05:57]  Wow.
[00:05:58]  Tipping is bigger than Jesus.
[00:06:02]  Where we can't, you know, Bibles are being thrown in the street and millions of souls are being damned to hell because people are worshipping tipping instead of Jesus now.
[00:06:14]  Money people used to spend on Bibles are now going directly to tips.
[00:06:20]  It's disgusting.
[00:06:21]  Tipping mania.
[00:06:23]  What a fucking asshole.
[00:06:25]  Fuck off, dude.
