Swipe, Tip Donate Repeat Please, Like, Share, and SUBSCIBE

The song “Swipe, Tip Donate Repeat” by Jim Taylor and The J. Taylor Project is a biting, spoken-and-sung takedown of “tipflation”: the way point-of-sale screens quietly inflate the real cost of coffee, groceries, and nights out by pushing 20–25% tips plus optional “round up for charity” buttons that official inflation measures like the CPI never count. It argues that restaurants and stores keep menu prices looking cheap while shifting payroll risk onto polite customers, that the federal tipped minimum has been stuck at $2.13 for decades, and that donation prompts let businesses harvest goodwill and headlines while shoppers fund them from already-tight budgets. Contrasting this with cultures that don’t tip, the narrator isn’t angry at workers—he’s angry at the default buttons and hidden surcharges—and ends by demanding honest posted prices so tipping and giving stay voluntary instead of a guilt tax collected at the register.
