Listeners speculated that Scuba Steve was moving to Hawaii, sparking concerns about his departure. However, [03:52] Scuba Steve clarifies, “I went to Hawaii. One of the islands, Kauai, which is the furthest.” Yet, he reassures everyone that he is not leaving permanently but is instead taking on a new role:
[04:39] Scuba Steve: “I'm doing nights on an alternative station here in the building.”
[04:03] Scuba Steve: “Yes. Yeah.”

II. Should Bobby Have Tipped The Phone Guy?
Transitioning from Scuba Steve’s update, the conversation delves into an unusual topic: tipping a technician at a phone store. [12:00] Amy recounts her experience at a phone store where the employee dedicated two hours to resolving her phone issues. Moved by his effort, she decides to tip him [14:12]: “I gave him a hundred bucks.”
This act of generosity prompts a debate among the hosts about tipping norms in service industries:
[13:35] Lunchbox: “I wouldn't even have thought of tipping the guy at the phone store. Like, no, no.”
[14:57] Bobby Bones: “Yeah.”
[16:07] Lunchbox: “Cuz I was like, like, all right, you know what? I'll slip you five, dude, get yourself a soda from the store.”
Amy elaborates on the significance of her tip, explaining how it was a substantial gesture beyond typical expectations:
[16:30] Amy: “Cell phone stores and their sales reps earn commissions on sales in addition to their base hourly wage. So I felt like those two hours that he was giving to me, he missed out on other amounts of money.”
