This celebrity chef weighs in on the messy state of tipping

00:00 Speaker A

We saw that the White House was moving to eliminate the taxes on the tips. All tips are not included. And then in the background, you have a change in the overturning behavior where you feel in all directions, you always have to give a tip. That is, your general thoughts on how to overthrow.

00:19 Andrew Zimmern

This is a circular fire team. UH, as a system, has a terrible history of overturning, right? UM, and this is an antique system. But what you have is traditionally earning more money than the people behind the house in front of the house. Now, many people are smaller than the group, planning of this group, etc. Most of the time he claimed to be easier, but just as we have seen Post Covid, only human behavior has changed, we have just added resistance to excretion, overturning, uh, but as in the state of Minnesota, we have added only a coat of adding to my invoices, just to the restaurants.

01:21 Speaker A

They’re doing this in Europe, right?

01:22 Andrew Zimmern

100 %. This is a much more professional industry there. UM and these employees are equal in the other part of France. When we talk about regulatory issues before, one of the biggest is the state that the state confuses the consumer. In a state service fee, an additional fee in another state like mine a-okay, minnesota, no problem. We must have a national plan, but unlike many other things that we have seen from this administration, there must be an incredible prediction. Another reason why a food secretary is such an important thing. Just, you know, it’s not an invoice of almost trillion dollars, like a farm bill that contains Snap. In addition, we are talking about issues that will help support the third largest part of our economy when it comes to business, and these are food service employees.

02:26 Speaker A

Yes, and you are planning to buy a total of increasing costs and then not being able to add an additional fee and not adding an additional fee, all of them are added to these restaurants. Andrew Zimmern, Great Information there. Thank you very much. Thank you for joining us.

Can I throw one more thing? Victkıtchen.org. The best place to look at food service employees. And this is 25 Thursday. Two -thirds of America. You should publish a small story about the Hashtag It FSW day while working on the shore of Jersey. F I have many stories.

03:07 Andrew Zimmern

FS, I bet. FSW day. Go to um and givekitchen.org. Your dollar helps, but educating people and awareness really helps. If you have heard something that wants to help support a dinner service employee today, a simple gratitude action helps a lot and helps to give a few dollars.

03:32 Speaker A

Yes definitely. And I always remember my days as a server that has always been very appreciated. Andrew again, thank you again for joining us.
