A Controversial Tipping Moment on The Kardashians
Scott Disick’s tipping habits have once again caught the public’s attention after a recent appearance on The Kardashians. In the February 20th episode, Disick, 41, was seen ordering Starbucks while waiting to meet with Khloé Kardashian. However, it was his tipping decision that made waves during the episode, leading to some fiery reactions from viewers and his friend Benny Luciano.
When Disick handed over only $2 for a $50 Starbucks order, Luciano was quick to point out the low tip. “Did you just give two dollars?” Benny asked. Disick casually responded, “Yeah, you don’t tip?” to which Benny retorted, “You gotta do 20 percent of that.” Benny then expressed his disbelief, jokingly suggesting that the baristas would be upset, possibly even retaliating by “spitting in your drink.”
Disick stood firm in his stance, defending his decision by saying, “I am not tipping 20 percent.” While he acknowledged the viral social media backlash against low tipping in some instances, he didn’t seem to feel any remorse. “Hell yeah, that is going viral right now. Did you see that girl? She’s not wrong [with her response].”
In a later scene, Disick and Khloé interviewed potential assistants, and Benny couldn’t resist making fun of Scott by asking what kind of tip would be appropriate for someone who delivers an order worth $30 or more. One candidate suggested 10 percent, while another said $5 would be a fair amount. Disick’s refusal to budge on his tipping stance only added fuel to the fire, with fans and family alike questioning his generosity.
Kardashians’ Quirky Money and Food Habits
This incident is not the first time the Kardashians have sparked discussion over their attitudes towards money. In a June 2023 episode, Kris Jenner was caught off guard by the prices at a fast food restaurant, handing over several hundred-dollar bills to pay for a group meal at In-N-Out, far exceeding what was needed. Khloé Kardashian, who was with her, couldn’t hide her surprise at her mother’s unfamiliarity with the cost of fast food, remarking, “We don’t need hundreds of dollars.”
The Kardashian-Jenner family has continued to entertain audiences with their quirky food habits. In a 2022 episode, Kim Kardashian raised eyebrows when she asked an Italian waiter about tortellini, admitting she had never tried it before. Additionally, Kim shocked viewers further by saying she prefers to eat pizza without the cheese, a confession that left many scratching their heads.
Their food-related antics continued into 2023 when Kim and Khloé revealed that they had never tried a regular beer. Despite their global fame, they appeared unaware of some of the most basic food and drink experiences many take for granted, further highlighting their unusual lifestyle choices.
