Should large tips always be something to share? It is no secret that working in the hospitality industry can sometimes be a gruelling and thankless task.

A pizza place came crashing down after a disgruntled employee reported them to the city when they cut his hours for the 3rd time.

I am very suspicious of the new anti-tipping culture that has arisen over the past couple of years.
