MacVoices #23164: MacVoices Live! Tipping at Apple Stores; Tunnels Under Las Vegas (Part 3)

This MacVoices Live! panel wraps up with the panel's thoughts on a report that tipping could soon become a thing at Apple Stores. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Eric Bolden, Web Bixby, Jeff Gamet, and Jim Rea have some strong, and sometimes conflicting, opinions on tipping in general, and in this instance in particular. Then, completely off-topic, Elon Musk's Boring Company's approval to expand under Las Vegas and Space X's share of payload launches concludes the session. (Part 3)
