11:00 am
if this is a recall of 67 million air bag inflators, it would be one of the largest ever in the united states. >> reporter: arc argues just seven incidents in the u.s. over a decade and a half do not support a finding that a systemic and prevalent defect exists across this population. the air bag inflators are used by at least a dozen auto makers, including general motors which just announced it's voluntarily recalling 1 million vehicles equipped with arc inflators, including chevrolet traverse, and buick enclay models, out of an abundance of caution. if a standoff drives on, nhtsa could take the company and try to force a recall. emilie ikeda, nbc news. we have a lot to cover in our second hour of "chris jansing reports," let's get right to it.
11:01 am
>> at this hour, major moves. ukraine's military says it has forced russian troops to retreat more than a mile in one of their bloodiest battles since the start of the war. we've got a live report from kyiv. and outside ukraine, president zelenskyy on the move. securing critical commitments from western allies across europe. inside his surprise meeting with the british prime minister and the promise of hundreds of new weapons for the front lines. plus, benched, the memphis grizzlies just suspended their all star guard john mo rant for the second time in three months after he once again appeared to be holding a gun in a video on instagram. the message in this penalty on and off the court. also, the deadly tornado that ripped through south texas near the gulf coast and has left dozens of homes damaged, at least one person dead. our nbc news reporters are covering all of the latest developments. nbc's catie beck is where those
11:02 am
devastating storms hit on the gulf coast. where are you exactly, and what are you seeing? >> reporter: recovery efforts are now underway in laguna heights, texas, where claiming 42-year-old robert flores. he was enjoying being a knewly wed and a new father, and they plan to rebuild on the land their family has owned for decade. this was one of 54 to touch down across the country since friday, reaching six different states, and this community of just 1,500 people is now banded together to rebuild the destruction and loss that they have experienced. there are 38 families who have been displaced by this tornado. the red cross and salvation army now working with those families to find lodging.
11:03 am
it's a long road ahead but they have hope if they work together, they will be able to rebuild their community. >> catie beck, thank you for that. ukrainian president zelenskyy met with the uk prime minister who has promised to send hundreds of long range attack drones and air defense missiles to ukraine to help defend in their fight against russia. nbc's ali arouzi joins us now. tell us about this. >> that's right, chris, it's been a hectic few days of whirlwind diplomacy across europe with president zelenskyy, he's met with the pope, leaders of italy, germany and france in an effort to secure much needed military and financial aid before an anticipated counter offensive by ukraine against russian forces, and it seems to have been mostly successful. he tweeted that with each visit, ukraine's defense and offensive capabilities are expanding. the ties with europe are getting stronger and the pressure on
11:04 am
russia is growing. his italian host promised full military and financial backing. in germany, he met with chancellor scholz, a day after germany announced $2.7 billion worth of weapons, and in paris, president macron promised that france will train and equip several ukrainian battalions and provide them with tens of armored vehicles and light tanks and the last leg of the european tour, prime minister rishi sunak, the uk previously confirmed supplying ukraine with storm shadow long range missiles. what zelenskyy has long been after is fixed wing fighter jets. zelenskyy discussed the supply of western jets with mr. sunak reiterating it's a very important topic because they can't control their skies without them. speaking after the discussions
11:05 am
finished, zelenskyy said he was positive about creating a jets coalition, and the decision will come quickly. rishi sunak said it wasn't going to be a straightforward thing to build that capability. he's getting most of the things he wants but those jets are always an issue for ukraine. they say they desperately need them to tip the scales in their favor but they are slow coming for ukraine because there are so many complexities involved in giving them jets and worries about those jets hitting targets within russia, which would then completely change the dynamics. ukraine says they can't win the war without those capabilities. chris? >> ali arouzi, thank you. inside ukraine, zelenskyy's top military commander says the last few days in bakhmut have shown that we can move forward and destroy the enemy, even in such extremely difficult conditions. nbc's ellison barber is on the
11:06 am
ground in kyiv for us. so the ukrainian military says they have pushed back russian forces more than a mile in bakhmut. put that into some context for us. >> yeah, i mean, we have heard that from ukrainian officials as well as the head of the russian mercenary group that has been leading most of the fighting in that city, both sides saying that russian forces were forced to retreat about 1.2 miles this that heavily contested sea of bakhmut. on top of that yesterday, ukraine's deputy defense minister said ukrainian forces were able to make additional gains near bakhmut forcing russian troops out of ten different positions in the outskirts of that city. nbc news, our team in kyiv had a phone call earlier today with the spokesperson for the eastern group of the armed forces of ukraine. he told us certain tactics are changing on the eastern front, but the entire operation is aimed at exhausting the enemy in order to break their ability to take offensive actions.
11:07 am
he went on to say by doing that, ukrainian forces who are receiving more training and more advanced capabilities from abroad will, quote, be able to deal with this weakened enemy, and throw russia out of ukraine. so russia still controls about 90% of the city of bakhmut, but the fact that ukraine has been able to make these gains of late is a big deal because they are the most significant gains we've seen them make in this city in a battle that has been going on for about nine months. military analysts, chris, they have questioned the strategic significance of the city of bakhmut, but military leaders in ukraine in the past said they believe the city has become very symbolically important for russia. they see this as an opportunity to essentially drain down russia's weapons supply in this area, and also exhaust their forces, which at one point, you had the commander of ukraine's ground forces saying in a local interview, that's something they think could potentially help them as they get closer to launching the counter offensive.
11:08 am
chris. >> ellison barber, thank you very much. john morant has been suspend for the second time this year for appearing to flash a gun on social media. kathy park is covering the story for us. what's the latest? >> reporter: good afternoon to you, well, morant is in the headlines again for all the wrong reasons, and it actually stems from a video that got widely circulated over the weekend. the memphis grizzlies released a statement saying morant has been suspended from team activities. they didn't go beyond the statement. the video in question appears to show morant in the passenger seat of the vehicle with several other people. it's unclear where or when this footage was taken. this comes just two months after a very similar incident where morant is seen flashing a gun, this time at a denver nightclub but the fallout was very quick in that incident. adam silver who happens to be
11:09 am
the nba commissioner released a statement shortly after that march incident, condemning morant's actions, saying it was irresponsible and reckless and potentially could have been dangerous. as a result, morant took full ownership and took ownership of what he did, and he apologized and actually sought treatment, and said he did that to better handle his stress. but obviously he is back in the spotlight, and he is someone who is a rising star in the nba. he's one of the top guards in the league, and one expert actually said, look, the regular season is over but the fallout could continue when the upcoming season comes around. chris. >> if i'm remembering correctly, he said after the first incident, you know, that he had learned, and he was going to do better. just to clarify, we don't know when the second video was taken if it was taken after the first?
11:10 am
>> exactly, there's still a lot of questions about this video that is circulated. it appears it is morant in the passenger's seat. but we have reached out to his reps over the weekend. we have no comment from them at this point. you're right, it's still unclear when this footage was taken, where it happened exactly, but it appears it is morant in that passenger's seat. if you zoom into the video, there is a brief moment he's holding a gun or at least it appears to show that. >> kathy park, thank you for that. a major abortion show down now underway in north carolina. the governor has just vetoed a new law to restrict access. but if he wanted to stick, he's got a lot of work to do. we're back with that in 60 seconds. we're back with that in 60 seconds.

11:12 am
ban on saturday. the state's republican super majority in the legislature will likely try to override the veto. the margin is thin, meaning the fate of abortion access could come down to one state lawmaker's vote. yamiche alcindor has been following this for us. what's the latest? >> reporter: well, the situation in north carolina is tense. you have a democratic governor, roy cooper, barn storming the state trying to get just one gop lawmaker to vote against this new restriction. of course right now, north carolina laws restrict abortion after 20 weeks. this new bill would take that down to 12 weeks, the governor is urging voters, lawmakers to try their best to stop this republican effort. it's likely that republicans who have a super majority, a thin super majority, but a super majority nonetheless will be able to override the governor and will likely put into law and put into place that new restriction. also complicating this is that
11:13 am
trisha, who was a democratic lawmaker, at the time, vocally supportive of abortion rights, she has changed her party position and become a republican. this is a move that stunned democrats, stunned staffers who have been speaking out against her, including other people working to get her elected, but she's sticking to this, and voted in favor of the new bill that would change the law to restricting abortion to 12 weeks. you have that going on, and we should remind folks when you look at public opinion on this issue, most americans, including most residents in north carolina, they are supportive of that 20-week abortion ban which is where they are right now, and they do not want to see it go down to 12 weeks. republicans, because they have the power until the state will likely make this changes. this is in some ways cementing what we see here, which is a new world after roe v. wade was overturned. you have red states really
11:14 am
moving toward restrictions, purple states like north carolina, also moving toward north carolina. if republicans have the votes there, then you have blue states who are making access to abortion more available for people, so you're really seeing a big shift in the states here. and north carolina is just an example of one of the states that's restricting it. >> yamiche, thank you so much. and north carolina's governor, roy cooper will join my colleague, katy tur in our next hour at 3:00 p.m. eastern on msnbc. on capitol hill, a bizarre twist in the republican-led investigation into president biden and his family. just last week, house oversight chair james comer claimed he had proof of biden's relatives engaging in business with foreign nations but provided no evidence. and now he tells fox news that his key informant has seemingly vanished without a trace. >> well, unfortunately, we can't track down the informant. we're hopeful that the informant is still there.
11:15 am
>> ryan nobles is on capitol hill for us. we didn't play the rest of that clip, but even maria was like, what? so no proof, and no informant, what more do we know about this? >> reporter: well, what's even more intriguing about this, chris, is that apparently the informant is different than the whistleblower that congressman comer claimed came forward with the initial inquiry with senator chuck grassley that began the road they've gone down, asking for information from the fbi as it relates to the investigation into the biden administration. there continues to be a lot of smoke with their investigation, and not a lot of fire. listen to comer describe exactly what they are looking for. >> nine of the ten people that we've identified that have very good knowledge with respect to the biden's, they're one of three things, maria. they're either currently in
11:16 am
court. they're currently in jail. or they're currently missing. >> reporter: again, not many specifics there, and it is coined of the hallmark of this investigation right now. they have done an extensive amount of work. they have been able to gather a lot of information about the business dealings for people connected to the biden family, but what they haven't been able to do yet is demonstrate any sort of criminal activity or any kind of specific tie to the president himself, and of course this is -- much of this would have happened during his time as vice president. now, comer continues to say that this investigation is ongoing. at some point they will be able to put all the pieces together to try and outline what they believe is a conspiracy that is directly connected to the president himself, as of yet, though, that hard specific evidence has been elusive for comer and his team. >> ryan nobles, to be continued. thank you my friend.

turkey is now heading toward an unprecedented presidential runoff after president erdogan failed to clear the 50% threshold he needs for an outright victory in sunday's election. this is the toughest challenge to the 20-year rule during which turkey, nato's second largest military has emerged as a key conduit between the east and west. nbc's raf sanchez is following the race from tel aviv for us. the two sides now have, i think, two weeks to convince voters before that runoff election. what are the stakes for turkey, and frankly, for the region. >> reporter: the stakes are incredibly high for the future of turkish democracy and its relationship with nato.
11:23 am
on the democracy front, erdogan has been in power for 20 years. he was elected as a reformer, he has been authoritarian, jailing political opponents, jailing journalists. many people in turkey see this election as really their last best chance to beat erdogan at the ballot box, put their country back on the democratic path. as you said, turkey is an unbelievable important geopolitical player. it's on the mediterranean, the black sea, in between europe and the middle east. it is a member of nato, but, chris, that relationship with the rest of the alliance has been complicated to say the least. president erdogan on the campaign trail has been periodically lashing out at president biden. turkey has refused to join in western sanctions against russia, and right now, erdogan is holding up. the challenger has said, he
11:24 am
would put the country on a much more pro western path if he's elected. the main issue in this election, chris, has been the economy as it often is. inflation has been rampant in turkey over the last couple of years. it's really decimated the middle class and dented erdogan's popularity. neither he nor his challenger clearing that crucial 50% mark in the first round of voting last night. that means, as you said, we are heading for a runoff in two week's time. there was a third party candidate who was eliminated in the first round of voting. he won about 5% of the vote, and he may be something of a king maker over these next two weeks of voting, if he can send his supporters one way or the other, last night was a disappointment for the opposition. they were leading in the polls going into this election. they really had high hopes that they might be able to defeat erdogan in this first round, but
11:25 am
it didn't happen, and instead, in the early hours of this morning, it was erdogan who was giving somewhat of a triumphant speech to his supporters and ankara, the turkish capital. the clock is ticking now, two weeks until the final round of this election with a whole lot at stake, both for turkey and for the world. chris. >> without a doubt. raf sanchez, thank you. now to another key election in thailand, the pro democracy opposition delivered a stunning rebuke to military rule. two main opposition parties agreed to form a coalition government. the result is a surprising defeat for the military junta who seized power in a coup in 2014. the next prime minister will be determined bay joint vote this july, between the progressive. a u.s. citizen was sentenced to life in a chinese president

president biden with a stark warning in a college commencement address, telling graduates, hate never goes away. speaking at howard university on saturday, he said this. >> on the best days enough of us have the guts and the hearts to stand up for the best in us. to choose love over hate, unity over disunion, progress over retreat. to stand up against the poison of white supremacy as i did my inaugural address to single out
11:32 am
as the most dangerous terror to obstruct our homeland is white supremacy. >> we have seen firsthand what this dangerous ideology can do as we mark one year since the racist mass shooting in buffalo, new york, that killed ten people at a grocery store. just yesterday at a memorial service, my colleague, the reverend al sharpton identified white supremacy as this festering wound that this country needs to face. >> as much as we are going to hear today in buffalo about healing, you can't heal until you deal with the wound. they want folk that will cover the wound rather than heal the wound. >> i want to bring in nbc's trymaine lee who spent the weekend in buffalo for this anniversary and mara gay, a member of the "new york times" editorial board and an msnbc contributor.
11:33 am
you know well that when the cameras aren't there, the pain stays. when the reporters go away, the trauma stays. what did you find going back to tops grocery store? >> time and again when i ask folks if they're healing, what healing means, they couldn't come up with a good answer, acknowledging the pain, grappling with it and moving forward, folks didn't know what it felt like. folks and us come to town, it's a one-year anniversary. how do you feel today, the day i did the day of the shooting. the best bond is the community itself. >> it's thursday morning in east buffalo, and nurse trinette austin is making her way into tops supermarket. >> pop in, hey, i'm here, do somebody need something, give them a hug. the moment she steps into the place, she's more than a nurse. she's like family. >> boo boo. >> locals call it 514, the day last year when a racist shooter
11:34 am
attacked the store, killing ten people in this mostly black community. others were injured, some physically but many more were wounded in ways that are harder to spot. nurse t has been a constant presence in the lives of top associates ever since, working to heal those invisible pains. >> you still have people today who can't listen to certain music it reminds them of the gunshots. you have people who still can't sleep. >> reporter: austin was hand picked by dr. lavone to be part of a team. they are working together to come up with ways to help, including grief counseling. they have healing for store employees, and often just a smile, a hug or a shoulder to laugh or cry on. through it all, austin never stops showing up for the people
11:35 am
at tops, sometimes popping into the store after working 12-hour shifts at the health center. >> does it ever feel like the needs are too much, too great? >> what's too much? what they need is what they knee. >> reporter: she has formed a tight bond with associates like lorraine baker, a customer service lead who has worked for tops for 21 years. and office manager, nicky moore. >> nurse c here, yeah, she went down the bread aisle, there you go to find her. >> reporter: both women say leaning on nurse t has helped them heal and process in ways they could have never imagined a year ago. >> anytime i need her or something, she was there. and didn't second guess it. and some of the stuff i needed might have been crazy but it was important to me at that time. and she didn't judge me. she was there for me. >> everybody made promises they didn't keep.
11:36 am
this is one promise, we know she going to keep. when she says she's going to do something for us, her word is her bond. >> through all of the darkness, to see those women wrapping and smiling and wrapping each other in an embrace, these folks are making the road to healing by walking it. they found the courage and strength to move forward. so many folks are suffering in ways very few of us can imagine. >> one of the ways, and i'm sure you've seen this, communities, when they come together, they want to find a way to make things better. how do i make this mean something, know that my loved one was not lost for nothing, and one of the things they're doing in buffalo is the families of the ten victims are suing social media companies, mara, because they believe they have created a platform for violence, and this type of hateful rhetoric. do you see that as one viable way to go after what reverend al calls the wound. he says you have to address the
11:37 am
wound first. >> i do. i think that, you know, i spoke to the reverend al sharpton this morning. and one of the things he told me coming back from buffalo was, you know, this was almost verbatim, he said i'm tired of going to these funerals, and i think he speaks for a lot of americans, not only black americans, but those the target of hate and anti-semitism over the last decade, and americans who are exhausted by gun violence, and exhausted by the kind of political hatred and division that's been on the rise in the united states, so i think we're at a moment in this country's history where we need to use every imaginable democratic tool and peaceful tool in our disposal to hold anyone accountable for the violence and the hate,
11:38 am
accountable. excuse me, anyone responsible, yeah. >> there was a report in the "washington post" about jack teixeira, who -- the pentagon documents leaker who they did a deep dive, and he clearly, they saw, was readying himself for a race war. his friends said it, he wrote about it. when the tops shooter was, there's no place for you or your ignorant ideologies in a civilized society, but how do we stop violent racists, anti-semites, people who don't want anybody around who doesn't look and think and act like them before they go into a grocery store or anywhere in america. we have seen the examples and open fire. >> i think it's important to note that we do have tools at our disposal. one of those things is red flag laws, and of course we could, if we wanted to as the american people want to, tighten gun restrictions to make it harder
11:39 am
for people to get firearms, who shouldn't have them. you know, nobody who has been spewing that kind of hateful ideology and threats on the internet or public sphere should have access, in my opinion, to a firearm. there's that, and then i think the cultural response and proper political response is we need to marginalize these views, and we need to reinforce the fact that they are abhorrent. one of the things that has been apparent to black americans and many others since trumpism came on the stage, he's essentially made that movement over or acceptable to be racist again openly, to be hateful, anti-semitic. that's something we have to address. and it was great to see president biden hit that point head on at howard university. it's not okay to hate people for what they look like, or the way they pray or where they come from, it should be obvious. we learned about it in
11:40 am
kindergarten, yet, this is one of the country's oldest and deepest wounds that we have yet to address because, you know, we have a long way to go, and we should be talking about this openly and calling it what it is, the rise of white supremacy. >> how are the folks in buffalo you spoke to dealing with that reality a year later. they know what happened with jack teixeira. they know what the reports are that motivated him. what do they tell you? >> there are multiple levels. witness that sheer violence, ten people, to witness ten people being murdered and knowing you were targeted because you were black and came to the community because of the red lines, the infrastructure, the lack of access to all of the resources, the kind of thing that keep people hunkered down and hemmed into these communities. that remains, and so there was the violence o. shooting, but the violence of white supremacy
11:41 am
began long ago in buffalo, and there's some concern and fear, will it happen again. people going through ptsd, there's higher vigilance, folks are dealing with a lot. >> trymaine lee, mara gay, appreciate you both having a conversation. what we learned from the pentagon about the troops headed there, and what happens for the migrants already in the u.s. the mayor of el paso will join me next. r of el paso will join me next. ♪ here's to getting financially ready for anything! and here's to being single and ready to mingle. who's ready to cha-cha?! meet the outdoorsies. wayfair's outdoor deal experts. the gardener... goes to wayfair for gardening basics that... aren't so basic. the entertainer... her place might look expensive. don't let it fool you.

in just the past few minutes, we've gotten new reaction from virginia lawmakers following the attack on two staff members at the district office for democratic congressman jerry connolly. mark warner calling it extraordinarily disturbing. don byer saying it's quote very very scary. it comes after a man was taken into custody for walking into connolly's office with a baseball bat, asking for connolly and attacking the staff. the statement says their injuries are not life threatening. also new in the last 20 minutes, we learned that there are now 550 active duty troops at the border. the pentagon says 950 more are set to arrive in just the next three weeks. most of the troops already there are in el paso where a front page story this week called for
11:47 am
more federal help citing quote, a powder keg of problems. the el paso times reports that fema now refuses to aid organizations on the ground with undocumented immigrants writing that last week, more than 3,300 unprocessed migrants were left in squalor. i want to bring in el paso's mayor, i know you have great challenges, would you agree with the assessment in your local paper. >> we did have 3,000 asylum seekers. and the federal government did a good job of going out there and talking to them, and registering them to go through the legal process and continue to get them registered to be able to go to the next step. as you see today, there's very few people now on the streets because of the process that was done. if you look at monday, and then tuesday, and then as title 42 was getting ready to expire, a lot of those people were no longer on the streets.
11:48 am
they had moved on to registering to be built through the process that the federal government has put out. >> i've talked to quite a few mayors over the last week or so, and obviously there's a cost, and in some cases a large cost associated with being a place where migrants land. one of the local ngos told the el paso times, this is a national issue that needs to be addressed, saying quote, the city and county and ngos are all working together, but now we've got the federal laws working against us. do you agree that any limits to fema funding are an issue here? how are you guys doing financially? >> fema and secretary mayorkas have been good for our community. we have been able to get federal funding to do the job of the federal government. we know that the people are not coming to el paso. they're coming to the united states. they have been working really closely to us, and they actually sent about two weeks ago the red cross. the red cross came to aid, the
11:49 am
ngos came to aid the people who had not gone through the immigration process. they were able to help them, something important to continue to work with them. a lot of pictures you showed today, they have changed because of the process that's gone on, to make sure the people go through the immigration process and do the things the way that it was set up to be done. >> you know this situation well. you've lived through it before, surely. maybe not to this extent. as you look ahead, are you concerned that this is a lull, a calm before another storm. or do you feel confident that the numbers that have gone down will continue to go down. >> well, you're right because we went through this in december. we've gone through it every year it seems like. one of the things that's important to note is the numbers yesterday were 381, the numbers prior to that were 405. we were doing 2,500 a day, so the expiration of title 42 and
11:50 am
going to title 8 has made a big difference, but, you know, we talk to our partners earlier today, and they said the total maximum over there right now is 1,200. we continue to prepare for the unknown. we don't know what's going to happen. what will happen later on today, what will happen tonight. the city of el paso will be prepared to take care of our asylum seekers and make sure we take care of the city of el paso, and treat people the way you want to be treated. we don't know what's going to come in tomorrow. we need to make sure we're prepared day in and day out. >> what does that mean to be prepared day in and day out, mr. mayor. are you confident that you're able to handle whatever comes your way or is there something that's still keeping you up at nights? >> well, we continue to be prepared as far as we both have been in shelters. we have two that have been vacated by the school district years ago, and we're using the schools for temporary sheltering. making sure that we help them,
11:51 am
and it's only temporary sheltering, 24 to 72 hours to reunite with friends or where they have job set ups. we have two schools set up to do that. we have the civic center prepared and ready to go. we don't know what's going to be done but we are prepared and we weren't prepared for title 42 when it was lifted to make sure we had 1,800 people come into our country and come into el paso back on thursday when that happened, and, yeah, we were prepared, and we'll continue to be prepared because like i said, we need to make sure we're ready for the unknown. >> i can't imagine you're getting a lot of sleep these days. we appreciate you taking the time to come on the program and talk to us. thank you very much. >> thank you, and you have a wonderful day. today, chicago has a new mayor, brandon johnson officially sworn in as the 57th mayor of the nation's third largest city. let's listen to what he had to say at his inauguration.
11:52 am
>> i'm truly humbled and honored to stand before you as the 57th play yor of the greatest city in the world. the people of chicago are counting on us to work together. to collaborate, to make their lives better every day. we went always agree, but i won't ever question your motives or your commitment. >> johnson is a tomorrower union organizer who's tight win in april was a major victory for progressive groups. customers reaching their tipping point over tipping. the pressure to leave gratuity in unexpected places, that's next. d places, that's next and i got to choose the phone i wanted. for free.

we've got brand new video out of florida, confirming our team's reporting that florida governor ron desantis's
11:57 am
political team is moving offices. and it's a move that could force another move. here's the deal. this new video showing a moving truck right outside of the current office location means they're taking all their stuff, they're bringing it somewhere else, and because that is likely to cost more than five grand, desantis has to declare under current fec guidelines, they're required to register, file financial reports and designate a principle campaign committee. in other words, essentially confirming that they are running. we'll keep you posted. we've all been stuck, maybe at a restaurant, a hotel, airport. trying to crunch numbers to come up with how much to tip. have you noticed everyone seems to be looking at a tip.
11:58 am
>> a growing number of customers are looking at a tipping order. >> some implementing at self-checkout lines, even when the customer has minimal to no interaction with an employee. >> have you noticed more prompts to tip? >> absolutely. it has gotten a little crazy. i was asked by a computer for a tip where there were no people involved in the transaction. >> reporter: are you wondering where is the money going to? >> i'm still wondering. >> what happens when you get a tip and there is no customer-facing employee, what's the legal status of that tip, i have no idea. >> reporter: the new trend comes as customers are feeling bombarded by tip inflation. some say they feel guilted into adding a few extra dollars whether a touch screen is up.
11:59 am
95% say they leave a tip sometimes. 76% say day tip always or often, and more than three people feel pressured to leave a tip. >> tlel be already -- they'll be set to 20, 25. >> sports arenas, airports where prices are inflated, more customers are venting on social media. >> the airport in new jersey just asked me to tip at self-checkout. tip myself, i did all the work. who am i tipping. >> reporter: otg says all tips collected are split evenly among the staff who has worked the shift. calculate your tip off the pre-tax total. you can always enter a custom amount you find appropriate, and most importantly, don't be afraid to say no. no guilt trip necessary. >> emilie ikeda with that report, a lot of us can relate
