The first tip is not to create problems for yourself on Friday. Start important things early in the week, not at the end of it. Digital self-checkout kiosks with tip prompts are frustrating consumers. They have cited it as confusing and “emotional blackmail.” Casey is not sure if or how he should tip his dog groomer. He had a terrible golf caddy when he recently played. He and Preston had a very rude cashier when they went to lunch on Friday. Nick had the opposite experience at a restaurant he recently went to.

He has a scripted comedy series for Netflix that has not been officially announced yet. The gang appreciates that Bert still stays in contact with them.
