Kevin McHugh: Banked Head of Publishing on tipping culture becoming more popular in New Zealand

Tipping culture could be becoming more popular here.  Numbers from the financial information site, Banked, suggest 60% of Kiwis sometimes or often leave a tip.  Almost 47% of New Zealanders think tipping is a good thing, while 34% say the opposite.  Banked Head of Publishing Kevin McHugh told Mike Hosking that tipping culture here has primarily been affected by the United States and as a result has become more popular.  He said that the cost-of-living crisis does play into it, and those who tend to tip are the ones who have higher salaries.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
