F. Cobb is a humorous commentary on the practice of tipping, written in the early 20th century. This book blends anecdotal stories and witty observations from the author's experiences while traveling, emphasizing the social dynamics and expectations surrounding tipping in various hospitality settings. The narrative reflects the cultural attitudes and norms of the time, exploring both the absurdities and the conventions related to tipping. In a series of letters addressed to a friend named Billy, Jack Henderson recounts his various misadventures with tipping while dining and traveling, illustrating the complexities of navigating social expectations. With a blend of sarcasm and candidness, he shares encounters with waiters of differing competence and integrity, providing entertaining insights into how tips are often used as a tool for gaining better service. His stories reveal the often chaotic and humorous realities of hotel life, dining experiences, and interactions with service staff, often exposing the ridiculousness of tipping culture. Ultimately, Jack’s narrative serves as both a critique and celebration of the sometimes ludicrous but accepted practices of his time.
