Description

Between the anxiety-ridden moments at your local coffee shop register and the frustration of making a sub-minimum wage as a server, the American custom of tipping has been roiling the best of us. Brad Yates settles the question of whether to use the pre-tax or post-tax amount to calculate the tip, explores the fascinating history of the custom and its codification in the Fair Labor Standards Act, and proposes erasing the distinction between tipped and nontipped employees.
