Wait a minute. So tipping is only an American thing? How would you looked at in other countries??
>>61542594
Their bosses actually pay them.
>>61542594
gib monies, get food
>>61542594
>be american
>get shot
>go to hospital
>forget to tip the surgeon
>get shot
>>61542611
NO WAY
>>61542594
Having the obligation of tipping is an american thing
>>61542611
Not really the point though. They make more money getting tipped rather than a hourly or salary...
>>61542594
You can tell the person you are paying for something to keep the change and it's fine. You can also give a tip at the bar but it's usually the other way around for me(getting bonuses for being a regular).
>>61542594
Sort of obliged to tip 10% ish here. If you ask for change that comes to less than R10 on a sit down meal then you are severely frowned upon, but if you're obviously a student or something then no one really cares if you just let them keep the change to the nearest 10 or so.
>>61542594
No, we tip a bit if we are satisified with the services.
>>61542682
Only if you're a woman or a handsome and charismatic guy. "Land of opportunity, but only if you happen to be born lucky".
Tipping is for actual restaurants with good service. You don't tip the waiter just because they showed up.
>>61542682
Then, THATS the point. Tips should be a complement.
if there is anyone who deserves to be tipped its the cook and the people who wash the dishes not some fuck who just has to smile and bring food over to the table
>>61542594
By tipping you're paying for "extra services" so to speak so be sure to get the receipt
I made good money on tips when I delivered pizzas on weekends in high school and over the summers.
Way more than the cooks and cashier girls who were paid hourly. And it was only like 5 or 6 hours of work.
>>61542594
tipping is okay if you're in a fine restaurant for example.
the expectation to tip is an american thing. tipping being a part of their salary is an american thing. in many american restaurants waitresses dont even make minimal wages and the tips are actually counted towards the minimum wage, the restaurant only pays the rest if the combination of wage + tip doesnt meet minimum wage.
in the civilized world it's a legitimate show of "thank you for especially good service" not something you must do because the waitresses depend on it
>>61542594
All prices are service included. You tip usually because the service/the food was top-tier, and personally I never tip more than 1 or 2€.
I usually round up the bill, but having to pay a fixed percentage is just offensive. If I ever go to America, I'll make sure not to tip anywhere.
I want to pay exactly the price written on the menu.
>>61543213
just wait until you realize they don't actually include taxes in the written price because of their retard logic
>>61542594
>Wait a minute. So tipping is only an American thing? How would you looked at in other countries??
Tips are entirely optional here. It's extraordinarily uncommon to see any kind of tip jar or method for tipping anywhere except at pubs/bars/clubs and maybe occasionally cafes.
You'd be likely to see them at clubs, but other than that you pretty much don't see them. But saying "keep the change" is fairly common and I guess counts as a tip.

I tip 1-2 € for services.
>>61542594
How uncomfortable would you feel if I handed you 110% tip at the end of my meal?
>>61543210
>>61543246
i feel awkward tipping with coin. if I do feel like tipping I leave 5€
though the chances of me carrying around any cash is pretty much zero as there is absolutely no reason to in finland. even parking meters, soda machines and tiny market stands take credit cards
>>61543262
I'd take them with a smile knowing that yanks are this retarded.
>>61542682
Then why are people always bitching about waitstaff being poor?
we have minimum wage of 8.5€
i think tipping should be banned and people should get payed fairly and humanily, instead of relying on custumors tippings.
tipping: horrible and inhumane humiliation for a worker.
>>61543410
>horrible and inhumane humiliation for a worker.
That's just America.
>>61543145
>understimating the work of the waitress
Since i had experience working as a waiter I know it's not as easy as people believe.
It's not only "smiling and bringing food", if you ever make even a really small mistake you can fuck up everything. Your whole body will ache even if you are fit and people can get pretty shitty. Dishwasher is the easiest job, you just put dishes in the dishwasher and wait (unless you live in third world country where you have to wash everything by hand). It's not only the food that sells a restaurant, if the food is great but the service is shitty then chances are that there wont be much clients.
Thanks god I don't have to work in a restaurant anymore
>>61542594
Yes, only in America. Here, it would be considered you try being nice to them and deserve a good slap in return. They are not poor, so to speak and in desperate needs of those extras.
>>61543524
>unless you live in third world country where you have to wash everything by hand
This happened to me once when the machine broke down. Not a pleasant experience.
>>61542594
Tipping culture is why American's love cuckoldry so much.
>give wife/employer bare minimum to get by
>expect blacks/customers to supplement and satisfy them
>FREEDOM
What if you ordered/payed food online and just don't have any money at home for the delivery boy?
>>61543662
you tip online
>>61543620
>employer
I fucked up
Americans are seriously retarded tbqh
>order pizza online
>pizza guy turns up
>hes extra cheerful and courteous
>yea cheers mate
>close door
Fuck your tips
I don't know, I don't go to restaurants. You fucking normie.
Americans are so retarded that when they replace delivery and waiters with robots they'll tip the fucking robot.
>>61544094
>>61544094
M'robot
>>61544094
>mfw I saw a muricuck trying to tip a vending machine
>>61544094
Robots don't need money so we'd just tip ourselves
>>61543046
>you can only be charismatic if you're born charismatic
t. pseudointellectual Nietzsche fan
>>61544255
The poor jews who own the robots need your money. Surely you wouldn't tip them for the work they do?
I made 2.50 an hour as a waiter in Massachusetts. It's completely shitty that it's expected in USA. Especially in California where I live now. Law here says all waiters must be paid minimum wage at least. Yet you still have to tip or you're seen as a complete dick.
>>61544577
2.50 an hour in USA? Wow
I tip my barber.But that's as it goes.
>>61544232
I would tip a vending machine tool if my crisps got jammed inside
>be waiter
>write down what I'm told by the customer
>carry food a few meters to customer
>demand extra payment
>get angry if I don't get it
>spit/piss/jerk off into customer's food if I don't get my tip
>whine all day about low wages but still require tips
>since I'm so important and superior to everyone _I_ am the one who deserves the tip, not the chef working his ass off in the kitchen
Waiters are entitled scum, they don't deserve anything. If you're gonna tip, go tip the chef who actually made your food, not the highschool dropout who carried it a few meters, something you could easily have done yourself.
>>61542682
I used to work in a restaurant and most did a small tip. The only ones who didn't were niggers and leftard hipsters who thought they were above tipping.
>>61542682
do you tip at McDonalds too?
>>61542594
The only tipping we do is tipping our headwear while laughing at americans :^)
>>61547052
:^)
>>61544577
>2.50 dollars the hour.
Are you mexican? Even in Spain that's incredible low.
Tipping is important here but only as a sign of great respect for the service, if that was felt. It's also never done at shitty places, like a dirty fast food. The employees are not expected to live by it, unless for some reason the area is a special case and tipping is extreme (e.g. an extremely popular tourist destination).
>not milking tips from Americans
>not magically bring out a tip jar when you have an American customer.
You guys are doing it wrong. Don't tell them that your country doesn't tip. You stupid fucks. You guys surely hate free money.
When do you all learn? WHEN?
>>61542594
They'd be like
>lmao that dumb yank gave me free money for doing bog-standard shit that is literally my job
>>61545218
kek
>>61542594
Have you ever got an awkward tipping position where you thought you didn't have to tip but the person serving you or whatever thought differently tell me your embarrassing tipping stories.
>>61547669
There's no way. It was probably in 1979.
Federal minimum wage is $7.50
>>61542594
Well most of the time, americans order red wine with icecube in it so even if they were to tip the waiter, any true french would refuse money from people like this.
>>61548232
>red wine with icecube
>>61542594
Tipping being mandatory seems to be.
>>61548232
>red wine with icecube in it
>thinks one deserves bonus tips
>Get pissed when you don't get bonuses
I don't mind the tipping waiters thing but it seriously bugs my mind when I hear Americans say how one must pay tips at a restaurant
>>61548232
>red wine with icecube in it
>>61548232
i refuse to believe this...no...
personally I think tipping is insult,
if your food and your service is good, I'll pay for the price. (which is shown in the front of the restaurant)
>drink a coffee
>don't have change
>leave 25% of tip
I hate tips, I really hate them
>work at the airport taxi in polands best city
>always try to be nice to tourists
>love talking to brits and americans
>get tipped frequently
feels good man
>>61542594
>How would you looked at in other countries??
gullible and attract eastern yuro scammers
>>61543070
you don't do that in America either...
>good service = good tip
>bad service = bad tip
>>61543410
when I worked at a restaurant as a cook I made less than the waitresses on an average night...
>>61543046
Not true. Most people tip 15% either way, unless something got fucked up.
>>61543046
>charismatic
Well, yeah... that's sort of part of their job.
>>61548953
radom ?
>>61542611
That's ridiculous, who ever heard of such an outlandish concept?
Wait staff being paid a livable wage by their boss, of all the ridiculous ideas.
>>61551748
Here it's more like
>bad service = be pissed
>good service = no tip
>amazing service = tip
>>61552353
This is actually how tipping works in Europe unless you are rich and you want to be kind.
>>61547869
>implying i work in the service industry
>>61542594
I tip here, restaurant bar haircut etc
>>61542594
I tip my barber and taxi drivers
>>61547669
Employers can pay tip-based jobs below minimum wage. You report your tips to the employer and if your wage+tips is below minimum then they'll pay you the difference.
You tip only for extraordinary service, not because someone is just doing ther job and what's expected of them.
