First hour: The etiquette of tipping during the holidays
Second hour: Understanding the various statistics on mass shootings
Whom are we supposed to be tipping during the holidays, exactly? How much? Mail carriers? Hair dressers? Teachers? The etiquette of tipping is always a murky subject, and that's particularly true this time of year. Our panel kicks around what we should -- and should not -- be doing about tipping. In studio:
Loraine Veras, owner of Loraine’s Dominican Beauty Center
Miss Cynthia L.S. Ely, certified international youth etiquette consultant and founder of The Refinement Studio
Katie Libby, longtime local restaurant server
In our second hour: You've probably heard that there have been 355 mass shootings so far this year. Where did that statistic come from? The FBI says there have been 22. A journalist who covers gun crime for Mother Jones says the number is 4. Why the disparity? What's the impact of using one set of data over another? Are we devaluing lives if we restrict the definition? Our guests explain. In studio:
