Last week’s highlights

Snacks / Monday, July 31, 2023
  • GuiltTip: “Tip fatigue” is spreading as Americans grow frustrated with tip-screen prompts everywhere (even self-checkout). Businesses far beyond restaurants are adding tip screens to keep workers without raising wages. 

  • Barbiecore: “Barbie” surpassed “Super Mario Bros.” as the year’s top-grossing opening-weekend flick. In a marketing campaign that seemingly knows no limits, countless brands are in on the Mattel-doll hype. 

  • Ship: UPS and the Teamsters reached a tentative deal, likely averting what would’ve been one of the largest US strikes. “Hot strike summer” is becoming “solidarity summer” as different unions picket together.
