THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN HAVE MORE VALUABLE THAN MONEY!

Hahah wow man what a funny greentext story you're sure to start a really original argument about tipping and Europeans vs Americans great job

Kill yourself dipshit

>>7835853
I'm sure my landlord will appreciate that when it comes time to pay rent.

Props for not once using the word "tipping" so you can pretend the concept of it is new to you

>>7835853
>You didn't leave a tip sir...
>SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMIIIIIIIINNNN
>Sir, please stop ye-
>SLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

I laughed

It's clearly unconstitutional. Know your rights

Out of curiosity, is it required to tip in the US or just something you're accustomed to?

>>7835836
You don't have to tip, but if you don't, don't ever ever go back to that restaurant.

>>7835836

at least you didn't get shot

>>7835894

Of fucking course it's not legally required. It's customary at restaurants with waitstaff though.

>>7835939
is it true that if you dont tip they snatch a picture of you and upload it online so other waitress can see it and harras you?

>>7835836
You also forgot to applaud when your food came and when they brought your bill.

It's never hard to spot the tourists.

>>7835836
>hope to hear an interesting story
>it's le tipping meme again

>>7835992
It's a tor site. You'll never find it.

I don't know why USA doesn't just have mandatory fair minimum wages instead of turning wait staff into a bunch of buskers begging for tips.

>>7835894
the latter more than the former, but kind of both

Iirc it started out as for a job well done, but then restaurants decided to pay their servers less, so now it's a matter of "if you don't tip there's a chance they won't be able to pay the bills" as well as you look like a bad person if you don't tip. 15-20% is customary depending on where you go, but culture seems to have evolved where you tip each time but the percentage amount you leave is indicative of your satisfaction with the service.

Black people never tip.

>>7836707
It seems like this is what our country is moving towards, but who knows if/when it will happen.

Jews, the lot of us.

>>7835836
I'll take things that never happened for 100, Alex

>OP leaves and takes a train
>everyone on the train claps

>>7836710
their employers are legally obligated to pay them at least minimum wage if they don't get enough tips

Do people actually do this? In my experience employers will fire a server for verbally requesting gratuity.

>>7836820
This is correct. At upscale restaraunts the manager or supervisor on duty will investigate and ask the customer if something was wrong if they don't tip/tip too low, but the server themselves is not technically allowed to ask for a tip. It's a FUBAR system from top to bottom.

>>7835836
>educated and wealthy enough to travel to the United States
>has never heard of tipping at restaurants
Why does OP have to be a shitposting liar?
>>7835894
It's not required.
>>7836707
>hmm why should people prefer a voluntary gratuity cost over an across-the-board markup of prices?

>>7836815
Minimum wage is pretty shit in most states

>>7837110
Then maybe they should get a real job.

>All these butthurt muricans

>>7837763
What? Are you seeing things?

>>7836710
It was actually considered in poor taste and a form of bribery before Prohibition.
>hoho! My good man here's a fiver if you pay extra good attention to me!
The attitude makes sense since the idea of a restaurant is to be served like a king for a little while
During Prohibition restaurant owners lost a significant amount of sales from alcohol and they encouraged it as a way to shift the cost of paying their employees onto the customer. It never went away and is engrained in American society.

>>7835893
Europeans don't have rights.

>>7836707
Because if you do that you won't retain any servers. Joe's Crab shack tried getting rid of tipping. In fact they paid their staff something like $12 or $13/hr. Still couldn't keep people for more than a month at a time and said they'd have to raise their prices 40 or 50% to pay servers enough to stay.

Not OP and not trying to troll..
When i wen't to the states for the first time it confused the fuck out of me as well..
You really shouldn't expect tourists to understand your customary 'you should be paying more but we won't tell you how much or why' because believe it or not people in other first world countries don't do it and it is weird to us.

>>7837903
We know. You cheap fucks don't even pay for your own national defense.

>>7837903
what's weird to me is paying refugees

>>7837911
Politics doesn't interest me, i don't think your military is involved in my region in any way regardless.

>>7837915
This makes no sense and again nothing to do with the strange practice of tipping.

>>7837903
>Math is hard!
15% or so on your bill isn't hard to figure out, man. Any travel guide aimed at Yuropoors will have all the information, or you can ask someone. If I'm expected to know to always bow to whatever bundle of mud and sticks you third-worlders worship, you can be expected to do a little math at the end of the meal.

>>7837922
>You don't have a base here
Yeah we do. That WE pay for. Not you.and if by some miracle we don't, we have one in your neighbors country (that they don't fucking pay for either) which still keeps you free loaders safe (Google Collective Security).

>>7837931
It is really cute watching you two trying to insult every region that you can in the hope that it relates to me.

Anyway in regards to tipping, i obviously know now that it is supposed to be somewhere between 10-20% but the whole concept of expecting everyone from other countries who seem to flood america would know that tipping is expected seems odd.

>>7837930
P-please give me a tip yuropoors, i cant afford to pay our waiters a liveable wage
