Tipping Culture in Philly is Out of Control
Tipping culture has changed dramatically in Philly. There’s flip screens to tip the barista at the coffee shop, and sometimes a 25% gratuity built into your check at a restaurant. Are we supposed to tip the guy giving us beers at Citizens Bank Park? And how much should we be giving? Host Trenae Nuri, executive producer Matt Katz, and food contributor Alisha Miranda are here to go over those situations so you’re not confused when the bill comes.
