Even though he grew up "obsessed" with John Deere equipment as a kid, his current job there as a contract engineer doesn't quite rise to that level. No, his dream job is farming.

Hospitality is all about people: making them feel welcome, comfortable, and appreciated. Excellent guest experiences often center around attentive service and a personal touch. So what would happen if some of that human element were augmented by artificial intelligence - or replaced by it? Would it improve service, or make it feel robotic?

A woman has put a new spin on tipping in restaurants that lots of people seem to have an opinion on. The advice, which appears intended as a joke, comes from TikTok creator PorschePie (@porschepie). The short video went up March 10 and has since drawn more than 144,000 views. In it, she offers, "My toxic trait is that if the service sucks—like, truly sucks—I'll still tip 20 to 25%, but I am 100% going to steal something." The comment accompanying her video adds, "Hide your salt, hide your pepper," but the hashtag #ikidikid indicates she's probably not actually pilfering items from a restaurant that disappoints her.

According to late 2023 data from market research firm Interact Analysis, they were a buffer against slowing investments in warehouse automation.
