What does the tip money collected by a self check out go towards? Running costs for the machine or the boss' bonus I wonder? 🤔 The store replaces people with machines where customers pay for items with no human help but the store still has the audacity to ask for a tip- FOR WHAT? A) no worker did anything to warrent a tip and B) where is the tip money going? Super sketchy amd audacious.
Sometimes I’ll get so deep into my conversation in my head with myself. I won’t realize anyone is in the room and I ask myself “did I say any of that out loud?”

For most of the U.S. you pay then you get the receipt and you add the tip on to that receipt afterwards. They shouldn't be adding extra afterwards.

You are not obligated to add extra if tip was included, most people don't do that so don't feel bad about it.

That tip thing is a big city tourist thing. The only times I've had these issues have been when I go to bigger touristy cites in the US. My small southern town no tip issues. I do tip, but I won't do forced tips unless there's a large party( 8 or more people)
I literally hugged a girl i didn't know cause it looked like she was running towards me with her arms stretched open.... she was running for someone behind me😭i still have nightmares about that moment 😂😂😂😂

Your card declining is the worst thing. Especially when you got the money on it. Cashier trying not to laugh and you're like bitch I'm not broke try it again. That's y I always like having cash.
@@SamiiRSMT mine was declined because I was paying tuition and it was over the daily limit the bank allowed. I had to call them and tell them the exact amount and they authorize it. I wasn’t embarrassed at all because I knew I had the money. I was embarrassed though for holding up the line (even though I shouldn’t have been).
My husband caught me once. The face he made was so annoying, as if I was crazy. I was like-- "everyone does this!" He was like--"not me," yeah right 🙄.
Sometimes I have so much coins in my purse for no reason & decide I'm only going to pay with it. I get all times of looks from the cashier but only got embarrassed once when I was still counting & my ex at the other till greeted me. Why me Lord why me!
When I have too much change, I tend to give the cents of my total, but that's only if I pay cash. I don't care about the looks. You're not the one carrying this heavy change in your bag 👜.
LoL my fiance has sent me in to pay many, MANY times because he's only paid cash when the total has been like $40 worth of coins. Apparently I have a very friendly face, and people are always nice to me. I've never had a cashier give me dirty looks, or have an attitude. 😊😊😊😊😊
I think the only time I ever give someone the side eye for paying in all coins is when they say something like "It's the correct amount" all irritated when I'm recounting it after they just dumped like $60 worth of coins in my hand. Like ma'am if the till is short, it comes out of my paycheck so excuse me while I count. I never mind when it's customers who count as they hand me the coins so I can count with them at the same time. In fact, the more people pay with change, the less times I have to refill the till during shift. I worked at a gas station during the pandemic, coins became an absolute blessing. So don't be embarrassed about paying with coins.
@@HardColdReality well that's completely understandable in that instance, as you can't just take their word it. if you take their word on it and DON'T count it, then YOU'RE the one in trouble with the boss, NOT them. hell, last week I drove back to the shops after getting back home, and discovering that the woman who sold me my cigarettes had given $2 too much change.
For me it was when I went skiing for the first time and “watched” the lessons on the bunny hill instead of paying money. Figured I had caught on enough so I thought I would go down the slope. Couldn’t figure out for my life how to stop so I aimed for the trees, grabbed the nearest one at 30miles an hour and almost ripped my arm off, landed on my back with skis pointing straight up seeing stars. Took me forever to get down the hill. Sat in the bar the rest of the day. James I need to keep the “blowing the nose” idea handy for my next double flush!!! Bahahahaha😂
As a Canadian, I hate tipping culture. And people have become entitled. Like why am I paying for your salary on top of service? People need to either stop working those types of jobs until employers start paying you livable wages or just go on strike. Tips are supposed to voluntary. Like I'm essentially paying taxes twice and sometimes the tip is higher than taxes. It's absolute bullshit.
For me it’s looking lost in public 😅 I had to go back to NYC for work and struggled with a parking meter bc they switched to an app and it took me a while to realize. It’s was a nightmare
About tips: in most food service places in the US, waiters/waitresses and hosts/hostesses make minimum wage. Here in Georgia, that's about $7.25/hr. Tips are often shared and/or considered part of their wage. When tipshare is a thing, the total tips for the night are calculated and split evenly between the workers, which can sometimes be VERY unfair. When tips are part of your wages, they tell you that you'll earn the minimum wage ($7.25); what they DON'T tell you is that your actual hourly pay is in the range of $1.80-$2.50, and your remaining $4.75-$5.40 must be earned in sales, and any negative balance will be taken out of your tip earning for the pay period. So, if a part-time waitress is only scheduled to work slower shifts for 2 weeks and isn't able to make enough sales to cover her own wages, and about 60% of the few customers she had in that 2 weeks tipped, there's a possibility that she will end up without anything extra for the pay period, which really sucks when you're earning $7.25/hr in corporate America.😵💫
Service industry in America will automatically include the 20% if it's about 5/6+ people because the tips on bigger checks seems to fall off from the recommended percentage. If they were doing that with just 2 people that's a whole other story. Just some insight to our fkry over here 😊
To be fair about tipping, we here in America pay people less for tip jobs, so if minimum wage for a regular job is 12 an hour tip jobs are 8/9. This means tipping is the only way to make a living wage. If we just have people a living wage and then tipped because a server went above and beyond that would be great, unfortunately we don’t do that kind of sensible wages…
That tipping experience is wild, where i live in the us you can choose what amount you want to tip if you even want to tip in a restaurant and as for the stores, again you can choose what you'd like to tip if you even want to tip
Tip culture is so interesting in the US. I am in a big city and have seen 1) my friends add a mandated tip to a party bc they had an accent and 2) complain because we passed a minimum wage rather than a tip and they think they will make less money. Can't have it both ways....and you have to trust the people that overtipped in the past will continue to do so.
The coldest thing about the "Waving one" is if there not decent enough to save you by acknowledging you, and instead just walk past like you ain't even there.
re the credit card thing: my brother is a data fraud analyst and used to work in credit card fraud - he said its mostly nothing illegal, but the few times they had a fraud case they’d get so fucking pumped in the office and start mapping things out like they’re the fucking feds lol. Keep in mind those cases are usually just like ‘we didn’t realise someone still had access to this account sorry can you refuse that transaction’ or stuff like ‘thought I was using the business account for this but it was my personal and now my bank thinks I’ve stolen my own credit card’
Loool mine is when someone says thank you and instead of me to say “you’re welcome” or any other conducive response, I accidentally say thank you back🤣
4:41 omg one time my cousin was buying ice cream at McDonalds and her card declined because the money was in the wrong account. The cashier turned her head to the staff in the kitchen and yelled "STOP THE ORDER, THE CARD DECLINED!!" for the whole store to hear. 💀
The American tax system is ridiculous. You tax my income and then make me buy items plus tax, with my already taxed money. Like make it make sense🤦🏾♀️🤣
I always talk to myself but the more funny is my dad’s reaction like his walking past my room and he doesn’t understand how I am talking to and he freezes and we make eye contact and we burst in laughter afterwards 😂
What if you had a 1991 Honda? 😂 Once I couldn't find it in the parking lot. I thought to myself "Who would want to steal this old car?" Turns out that it was on the other side 😅 I must of spend like 15min looking for it!😂 🤦
11:27 In the US they ask for a tip for EVERYTHING 💀 It’s sad cause I know they ask for tips because they aren’t getting paid a lot, but there is no way I’m gonna tip someone like the cashier for just standing there & pressing buttons 😭
I had to warn my cousin about the tip system before her visit to NYC from the UK. 🙄 A McDonald's, here in Miami Beach, had a 'misc. resort fee' on my receipt as if the entire city was a resort. Not even the closest to the water! 🤬🤦🏻♀️🤣

Same thing I do😂

I do that to confuse muggers
That tip thing is a big city tourist thing. The only times I've had these issues have been when I go to bigger touristy cites in the US. My small southern town no tip issues. I do tip, but I won't do forced tips unless there's a large party( 8 or more people)
Sometimes James’ hairline matches with the artwork behind him 😂😂😂
this is taking me outtttt 😭😭💀💀
😂
Hearing them rant about America is my favorite thing to do 🤣🤣🤣🤣. We sorry 😭
I literally hugged a girl i didn't know cause it looked like she was running towards me with her arms stretched open.... she was running for someone behind me😭i still have nightmares about that moment 😂😂😂😂
LOL yep my mother drove me to the shops one day, and when I came back out of the shop, there was a similar looking car to hers, and I opened the door and hopped straight in.
then quickly proceeded to realise it was the wrong car, hop out and then go back to my mother's car, only to have her pissing herself laughing at me.
have done that about 3 times now!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
@@kelliewhyte_85 Yours is worse😂😂😂thank you for making me feel better about my situation 😅
Your card declining is the worst thing. Especially when you got the money on it. Cashier trying not to laugh and you're like bitch I'm not broke try it again. That's y I always like having cash.
Then why does it decline?
@@SamiiRSMT connection to the terminal , stuck keypad or the magnetic stripe I worked for a financial institution 🏦 😂
@@SamiiRSMT mine was declined because I was paying tuition and it was over the daily limit the bank allowed. I had to call them and tell them the exact amount and they authorize it. I wasn’t embarrassed at all because I knew I had the money. I was embarrassed though for holding up the line (even though I shouldn’t have been).
Worst feeling 😂😂😂😂😂
@@evjimz8460 Thank you for the explanation, I appreciate it
2:20 when James did that sigh, thinking about that Central Cee incident 😢😅😂
james literally called every new thing the worst thing he could imagine lmao
Crying and I’m only half way through!😂😂😂 y’all are too funny! The storytelling is immaculate! Lol
Saaaame! I'm at work too trying to be quiet! 🤣🤣🤣 James toilet story was too good! 🤣🤣
I get caught all the time having convos with myself at work! I know my coworkers think I'm crazy! 🤣🤣🤣
My husband caught me once. The face he made was so annoying, as if I was crazy. I was like-- "everyone does this!" He was like--"not me," yeah right 🙄.
@@florecitayamieveryone has that narrative voice inside talking- gotta have balls to talk to yourself in public
There was once a situation where I was paying with coins, like straight up cents and the cashier gave me the side eye👀
Sometimes I have so much coins in my purse for no reason & decide I'm only going to pay with it. I get all times of looks from the cashier but only got embarrassed once when I was still counting & my ex at the other till greeted me. Why me Lord why me!
When I have too much change, I tend to give the cents of my total, but that's only if I pay cash. I don't care about the looks. You're not the one carrying this heavy change in your bag 👜.
LoL my fiance has sent me in to pay many, MANY times because he's only paid cash when the total has been like $40 worth of coins.
Apparently I have a very friendly face, and people are always nice to me.
I've never had a cashier give me dirty looks, or have an attitude.
😊😊😊😊😊
I think the only time I ever give someone the side eye for paying in all coins is when they say something like "It's the correct amount" all irritated when I'm recounting it after they just dumped like $60 worth of coins in my hand. Like ma'am if the till is short, it comes out of my paycheck so excuse me while I count. I never mind when it's customers who count as they hand me the coins so I can count with them at the same time. In fact, the more people pay with change, the less times I have to refill the till during shift. I worked at a gas station during the pandemic, coins became an absolute blessing. So don't be embarrassed about paying with coins.
@@HardColdReality well that's completely understandable in that instance, as you can't just take their word it.
if you take their word on it and DON'T count it, then YOU'RE the one in trouble with the boss, NOT them.
hell, last week I drove back to the shops after getting back home, and discovering that the woman who sold me my cigarettes had given $2 too much change.
Telling American ppl to come together do get anything done, let alone taxes, is probably the most UK thing I’ve ever heard on this show 😂
For me it was when I went skiing for the first time and “watched” the lessons on the bunny hill instead of paying money. Figured I had caught on enough so I thought I would go down the slope. Couldn’t figure out for my life how to stop so I aimed for the trees, grabbed the nearest one at 30miles an hour and almost ripped my arm off, landed on my back with skis pointing straight up seeing stars. Took me forever to get down the hill. Sat in the bar the rest of the day.
James I need to keep the “blowing the nose” idea handy for my next double flush!!! Bahahahaha😂
When you read in public and people notice you making facial expressions😫 I be sooo embarrassed.🤣
As a Canadian, I hate tipping culture. And people have become entitled. Like why am I paying for your salary on top of service? People need to either stop working those types of jobs until employers start paying you livable wages or just go on strike. Tips are supposed to voluntary. Like I'm essentially paying taxes twice and sometimes the tip is higher than taxes. It's absolute bullshit.
Love when he calls him “daddy” 😂
For me it’s looking lost in public 😅
I had to go back to NYC for work and struggled with a parking meter bc they switched to an app and it took me a while to realize. It’s was a nightmare
The "I know you're trying to be nice, but fuck you" 😅😂😂
When i realise I’m walking in the wrong direction I always fake a call and speak a bit loudly then turn around😂😂
Multiple flush is better than anyone in my office yelling "whose poop is this?"
If you get caught talking to yourself, pick up your phone and act like you just ended a call! Works all the time 😂
One of my favorite episodes 😂😂😂😅 James and his storytelling i cant ... its crazy how we all get it
I am in TEARS!!! That 2 flush story GOT me.
About tips: in most food service places in the US, waiters/waitresses and hosts/hostesses make minimum wage. Here in Georgia, that's about $7.25/hr. Tips are often shared and/or considered part of their wage. When tipshare is a thing, the total tips for the night are calculated and split evenly between the workers, which can sometimes be VERY unfair. When tips are part of your wages, they tell you that you'll earn the minimum wage ($7.25); what they DON'T tell you is that your actual hourly pay is in the range of $1.80-$2.50, and your remaining $4.75-$5.40 must be earned in sales, and any negative balance will be taken out of your tip earning for the pay period. So, if a part-time waitress is only scheduled to work slower shifts for 2 weeks and isn't able to make enough sales to cover her own wages, and about 60% of the few customers she had in that 2 weeks tipped, there's a possibility that she will end up without anything extra for the pay period, which really sucks when you're earning $7.25/hr in corporate America.😵💫
It flew out!!! I can’t 😂😂😂😂 yalll funny as hell ❤
"I have to break this shit down"😂😂😂
When I talk to myself and someone sees me, I just act like I have a ear pod in and keep chatting 😂
13:57 yeah tipping is crazy. Gratuity is included and then they ask for additional tip
I’m also baffled by the obsession with tipping in America. It’s insane.
17:06 that head turn!!!!!!!
Service industry in America will automatically include the 20% if it's about 5/6+ people because the tips on bigger checks seems to fall off from the recommended percentage. If they were doing that with just 2 people that's a whole other story. Just some insight to our fkry over here 😊
You flush twice to get the dookie residue off the toilet bowl 😂💯
When you forget someone's name after meeting them only once and you meet them again after a long period of time.
I hope y’all are as friendly with each other irl as it seems on the pod. I like your dynamic
Fuhad......James is your wifey!! This man is always in scenarios in his head with you😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for the tip/tax conversation!!! Definitely needed! Hahah
James saying "daddy that's not good" got me feeling thirsty, I'm dying
“I just imagined you in the passenger seat” 😭 JAMES IS NOT EVEN TRYING TO HIDE IT ANYMORE
We call it the complimentary flush. More people need to do it. Lol
We call it a courtesy flush LMAO
To be fair about tipping, we here in America pay people less for tip jobs, so if minimum wage for a regular job is 12 an hour tip jobs are 8/9. This means tipping is the only way to make a living wage. If we just have people a living wage and then tipped because a server went above and beyond that would be great, unfortunately we don’t do that kind of sensible wages…
With my name being Ashlei, when I hear "actually" sometimes I think someone is saying my name 🤣
That tipping experience is wild, where i live in the us you can choose what amount you want to tip if you even want to tip in a restaurant and as for the stores, again you can choose what you'd like to tip if you even want to tip
Carrying an umbrella on campus. Most embarrassing thing 😂
Especially that big long one🤣🤣 the one that can't even fit inside your bag.
@@Goodness222 YEEEEESSSS
The waving back thing. Bruh!!!!!!!!!😢😂
Tip culture is so interesting in the US. I am in a big city and have seen 1) my friends add a mandated tip to a party bc they had an accent and 2) complain because we passed a minimum wage rather than a tip and they think they will make less money. Can't have it both ways....and you have to trust the people that overtipped in the past will continue to do so.
The coldest thing about the "Waving one" is if there not decent enough to save you by acknowledging you, and instead just walk past like you ain't even there.
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! So happy I joined the cult😉❤️
Having to walk past the same place more than twice. 😂like having to walk past the same group of people more than twice 😭😭horrifying 😂
Stay strong. Waving at this girl that was waving at my homie got me the love of my life.
the first push almost made me choke I was laughing with a mouth full of water ...you guys almost literally killed me! lol
re the credit card thing: my brother is a data fraud analyst and used to work in credit card fraud - he said its mostly nothing illegal, but the few times they had a fraud case they’d get so fucking pumped in the office and start mapping things out like they’re the fucking feds lol. Keep in mind those cases are usually just like ‘we didn’t realise someone still had access to this account sorry can you refuse that transaction’ or stuff like ‘thought I was using the business account for this but it was my personal and now my bank thinks I’ve stolen my own credit card’
Not the bill, including the tip, but then asking for additional tip that makes me lived 😂😂 my bp goes through the roof like the audacity! 😂
Loool mine is when someone says thank you and instead of me to say “you’re welcome” or any other conducive response, I accidentally say thank you back🤣
America is wild with the tipping stuff! Even Starbucks has the Tip button and the tip jar. It’s crazy..
I never hit the play so fast in my life 😁
The fact that James had all this shit happen in damn near the same day 😩😂😂😂
4:41 omg one time my cousin was buying ice cream at McDonalds and her card declined because the money was in the wrong account. The cashier turned her head to the staff in the kitchen and yelled "STOP THE ORDER, THE CARD DECLINED!!" for the whole store to hear. 💀
I found your channel on TikTok been binging since on Apple podcast y’all are mad funny keep it up
Flushing twice is not embarrassing 😂 surely I'm not the only one who thinks it's an achievement
The American tax system is ridiculous. You tax my income and then make me buy items plus tax, with my already taxed money. Like make it make sense🤦🏾♀️🤣
I can’t even to begin to explain how badly I want to end my life force when someone isn’t really waving at me
LOL My fiance likes to slowly drive by people, stare them down, and then wave at them while saying "hi" in a loud, high pitched voice.
😂😂😂😂😂
I always talk to myself but the more funny is my dad’s reaction like his walking past my room and he doesn’t understand how I am talking to and he freezes and we make eye contact and we burst in laughter afterwards 😂
Only James can get away with calling his bro daddy 🤣🤣🤣
James wave-flushing after destroying the toilet....hilarious 💩
If you can't find your car but you know it's in the vicinity just set your car alarm off if you got a remote start or whatever
What if you had a 1991 Honda? 😂 Once I couldn't find it in the parking lot. I thought to myself "Who would want to steal this old car?" Turns out that it was on the other side 😅 I must of spend like 15min looking for it!😂 🤦
these convos are hilarious 😂
11:27 In the US they ask for a tip for EVERYTHING 💀 It’s sad cause I know they ask for tips because they aren’t getting paid a lot, but there is no way I’m gonna tip someone like the cashier for just standing there & pressing buttons 😭
I had to warn my cousin about the tip system before her visit to NYC from the UK. 🙄
A McDonald's, here in Miami Beach, had a 'misc. resort fee' on my receipt as if the entire city was a resort. Not even the closest to the water! 🤬🤦🏻♀️🤣
