Las Vegas feather girls and tourists clash over $20 photo tip

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentPolice say a woman in Las Vegas hit a tourist more than twenty-two times, including with her white high-heeled boot, after a twenty-dollar tip for photos.

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentJoining us is Prudence Abernathy-Voss, a tipping scholar who says she saw this coming. Prudence, did you?

3. PA

   Prudence Abernathy-VossYes, and also no, depending on the chapter. As I wrote on page forty, a photo tip is a contract.

4. PA

   Prudence Abernathy-VossAs I wrote on page ninety, it is a suggestion. On page ninety-one, it is a fight.

5. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe tourists say she then demanded between sixty and a hundred eighty dollars. Which page is that?

6. PA

   Prudence Abernathy-VossThat's page one-twelve. Both women dispute the tourists' accounts, so the book covers that too, on page one-ninety. Possibly two-ten.

7. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIt's a two-hundred-page book.

8. PA

   Prudence Abernathy-VossIt's a long two hundred pages, Kenji. The tourists were in town for their wedding, and I did predict weddings are expensive. Page three-fifty.

9. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRating it a four-out-of-five tip. Prudence, last one: which page covers the boot?

10. PA

    Prudence Abernathy-VossThe boot is on page four hundred.
