Summary
A TikTok server, Kenzie, shared a video about two women who were surprised by a $290 bill after ordering two $48 Don Julio 1942 shots. The women were in their early 20s and ordered multiple meals and drinks. Kenzie said the price of the tequila was listed on the menu. The women left a $15 tip, which was a quarter of a 20% tip. The article discusses the high cost of Don Julio 1942 and the history of tipping in the U.S.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Two women ordered expensive tequila. They were shocked by the bill. The server said the price was clear. The tip was low. The trend of high-end drinks is nothing new.
Don Julio shots cost a lot. People order them anyway. Servers are stuck with the bill. Tips are rarely enough. The system is broken.
High-end drinks are a status symbol. People don’t think about the cost. They just want to feel fancy. Servers are left holding the bag. It’s the same every time.
“You’re paying for the experience.” Sure. But the experience includes being surprised by the bill.
