    My Parents Are Horrible Tippers

    My Parents Are Horrible Tippers

    What do you do when you go out to eat with your parents and they are the world's worst tippers? 
    That's the dilemma facing our anonymous writer this week. Their parents have a tipping rule that hasn't changed in 20 years, and while it might have been okay then, it's not cutting it now. They don't want to offend their parents, but also don't want to leave a poor tip. They've tried dropping hints and leaving extra cash, but nothing seems to work. What should they do?

The listener has tried to talk to him, but to no avail. They feel increasingly resentful of his presence and don't know how to approach the awkward conversation with him. Join us as we discuss the best ways to handle this tricky situation.

Hilarious and insightful

Love the chemistry and the awkwardness. Nice blend of financial questions and pop culture. The TV show descriptions are the best.

Disappointed

I really enjoy Allison’s solo podcast - I enjoy listing to Chris - but together it sounds like Allison is always angry at Chris and interrupting. So disappointed.
