Unsure of how much to tip the doorman this year? Octavio Blanco, Money Editor at Consumer Reports, joins Cheddar to break down the tipping habits across America. He says tipping has decreased 10% from 5 years ago.
Consumer Reports says millennials tip the least out of all the generations. Those 70 and older were the most likely to give holiday tips, with 62 percent giving a median of $25. Northeasterners are also a little more giving--they tip more often than other regions of the country.
Plus, who should you tip? Blanco says to consider the service providers in key areas of your personal life. However, don't tip people who make a salary! Giving an extra twenty bucks to your doctor after a checkup is going to be super awkward.
Marjorie Woods, Owner of Epic Food Group, joins ChedHER to discuss the story behind her company, challenges during the pandemic, and her plans for growth.
The Department of Justice is suing Texas over the state's new abortion law that prohibits abortions after six weeks, well before many women even know they're pregnant. The lawsuit argues the law is unconstitutional under long-standing Supreme Court precedent. It was filed last week in federal court in Texas, but could go all the way to the high court within weeks. Josh Blackman, a constitutional law professor at South Texas College of Law Houston, discusses the DOJ lawsuit and what it could mean for other abortion laws across the country.
The Biden Administration has officially extended a ban on a Trump-era policy that prohibits traveling with a U.S. passport to North Korea. The extension is expected to last until August 2022. The ban was initially enforced after the death of Otto Warmbier, who entered a vegetative state while in North Korean custody. Advocates against the ban argue that it has caused crippling impacts on Korean Americans who have not been able to reunite with their families back home. Senior Fellow at The Foundation For Defense of Democracies Anthony Ruggiero joined Cheddar's News Wrap to discuss more.
