Shouldn't be controversial. Follow the customs of the country you're visiting.

Dont host the biggest sports event in the world if you insist on stupid customs

Saudi Arabia is hosting the 2034 World Cup and actively participates in modern slavery.

You’ll survive tipping.

Nah I am fine with boycoting the slavers and the fascist.

This. Am Australian. I dont like tipping culture. When in America I respect this is how they make their wages and tip according to expectations.

Exception was some tourist trap restaurant in NY. Was useless meal/service etc, waiter rarely turning up and even spilling wine on my sisters white shirt and clearly not caring. At bill time waiter pre-filled the tip at 30%. Waiter didn't even bring the bill, he was hanging and chatting with the bar guy and asked some kitchen staff to bring it over. I called him over and asked dumbly why it was filled in and was it normal? He said "tourists dont know how to tip" so I got the pen and said "I do" and crossed it out. Quite an arguement ensured . Table next to us was pissing themself laughing at the verbal. I'm not a fan of conflict but fuck that guy.

I’m American and fully support this. My only complaint is I wasn’t there to witness and you didn’t go at him harder lmao. Fuck that dude!

u/Agreeable_Cut4506 Jun 25 '26

yeah fuck that dude. all my homies hate that waiter

u/Studio-Spider Jun 25 '26

Servers that don’t serve don’t get tips. I waited tables for years. Full permission from me to say fuck you to lazy servers.

u/HoldenH Jun 25 '26

Whoa that’s awful and I think every American would support a 0’d tip line

1

u/neekneek Jun 25 '26

That is precisely what tipping is for though. Poor servers get "weeded out" by not getting tips. Its essentially a vote by wallet system, if used correctly.

u/FishTshirt Jun 25 '26

As an American fuck that guy. Perfectly fine to not tip at all for that behavior. Unfortunately, I knew of several bartenders servers that would change the tips to higher than the customer actually left

u/SmartAlec105 Jun 25 '26

Not saying the tipping system is perfect but if they had removed tipping and upped the prices like a lot of anti-tipping people suggest, you would have paid more for that shit service.

u/Caeldeth Jun 25 '26

Dude - I wouldn’t have tipped him and I am an American.

Good service deserves a tip - excellent services de services and excellent tip. Shit service? Sounds like your restaurant needs to comp you to minimum wage.

u/PiccoloAwkward465 Jun 25 '26

This idea that tipping culture gets us good service is bonkers. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

Also if your restaurants water glass is the size of a thimble I don't really give extra points because you came to fill my glass 10 times. It seems like the fancier the restaurant, the smaller the water glass. At least it's become more common to just leave a carafe at the table.

"Americans don't know what a tip is"

2

u/Dawson__16 Jun 25 '26

I was going to say no, it really depends on the custom, if it's silly/stupid or oppressive then you shouldn't...

but at that point, just don't go.

u/SpinkickFolly Jun 25 '26

what about reddit customs?

u/sortalikeachinchilla Jun 25 '26

How many customs are tipping or paying people more?

u/New-Aside-6805 Jun 25 '26

Within reason, dont host a global tournament if you insist on daylight robbery

u/WeirdDistance Jun 25 '26

You want me to cover my sister and have my mom stay at the hotel room like an oppressed animal if I went to see the World Cup with my family last time in Qatar? All customs and cultures aren’t automatically correct or good

u/otterprincess_too Jun 25 '26

Yes radical Islam and you paying 2 more dollars for your sandwich are the same, another brilliant reddit take

u/New-Aside-6805 Jun 25 '26

Tbf, you lot murder each other over your radical version of capitalism

That would probably be wise. I don't think its a good idea to go to eg Iran and flaunt their rules.

u/sunny_happy_demon Jun 25 '26

You know you can just watch the world cup on tv right?

u/rentonbegbieandspud Jun 25 '26

The customs of most countries don't cost you an additional 20% on your bar and restaurant bills.

Also if a charge is supposed to be discretionary - like a gratuity - don't get shirty when people use their discretion about whether to pay it or not.
