The tipping reference was about budget restaraunt food without extra hidden costs, it was not in regards to black tipping, it was directed at all of the public (which at that time was still mostly white and black).
Exactly, that’s what I was saying. The ad could not have had anything to do with black tipping since that aspect of the culture either didn’t exist at the time or was not as widely known as it is now. But some are now looking at it with today’s attitudes thinking there are “possible racist undertones” due to the tipping reference.
