The New Rules of Tipping

The pandemic was the breaking point for a lot of Boise service industry workers. But are things any better for them now? Host Emma Arnold is talking with local bartender and comedian Norelle Bond about the state of tending bar in downtown. They get into bad customer behavior, murmurs of unionizing, and why the $3.35/hr minimum wage just doesn’t cut it anymore in Boise. Plus, we find out whether Boiseans are good tippers or stingy.  What are your tipping rules? Let us know by sending us a voicemail or text: 208-546-9485. Want some more Boise intel?
