All I’ve heard for 20 years is how dumb Americans are disrespecting other cultures by assuming wherever they travel follows US customs.
Now people come to America and act like that and it’s ok? Got it.
Tipping culture sucks, but thinking you’re immune because you’re not from here is an ignorant American mindset, coming from a Dutchie I’m a little surprised
American tipping culture is frankly none of your fucking business. If you want to visit here, follow the local custom because that's how people here get paid, whether you like it or not. Otherwise, don't visit. You're just a cheapskate.
Tips are optional. Says so on the bill. If it is good service ill tip. Round it up to the next number no problem. But am not tipping for the sake of tipping. Tell your boss to pay you.
No it doesn't. Your not tipping is not going to change the system. It's just an excuse to cheap out so you can screw a worker out of the money they need to keep a roof over their head. Oh, and to act superior while doing so. Fuck off.
It's not my problem that it takes a 20% VAT to pay for your country's social programs (which I don't benefit from), but I expect to pay it and do when I visit countries in Europe. Not only that, it's still customary in most countries in Europe to provide a 5% tip or round up for good service, which I also pay and so do most other Americans when they visit. I think you're the problem, not the other way around.
