In “The Case Against Tipping,” Michael Lewis argues that we are growing into a society that tips someone “for doing what they’ve already been paid to do” (22). Lewis believes that the more thought the customer puts into deciding whether or not to tip, the more unpleasant it becomes (21).

Lewis continues by arguing that no one who is going to buy a coffee is “evaluating the performance” of the person behind the counter (21).
Sternberg attempts to exhibit that popularity is a fleeting goal with no real value. One way Sternberg exhibits that is by comparing a month with a week. “Remember the summer of ‘Harlem Shake’?” we might one day say wistfully, “Remember the two weeks in February of ‘Harlem Shake’?” Here Sternberg’s tone is sarcastic.

In Tony Mirabelli’s writing, “Learning to Serve”, Mirabelli completes an ethnographic study of the service industry. Mirabelli writes on a topic he is quite familiar with, being a waiter. Mirabelli discusses the complexity of being a waiter, although most of these complexities are unknown to people outside of the discourse community.

Chipotle is part of the fast casual segment of the U.S industry with over 1,600 restaurants.
The short-length feature Gerald McBoing-Boing, which tells the story of a boy who only speaks in sound effects, has been regarded as an exceptional example of what could be described as the cartoon style of heavily design-oriented and abstract-based 1950’s animation.
