RE: Tipping in the USA: Explained
Since it’s so culturally ingrained her that you’re supposed to tip, it’s not really something you ever have to actively “beg” for most of the time, but it does drive server behavior. Certain demographics are known to under-tip... so we’d try and not get those tables 😅 a group of people coming in speaking a European language was a red flag that you were about to work you tail off for virtually nothing 😛
Europeans also have a mush of tipping habits and it drives me nuts, coming from Australia, we just pay the workers properly (hopefully that lasts...).
Yeah I thought about getting into all the other kinds of tipping customs (bartender, barber, nail salon, taxi cab, etc.) and realized the post could very quickly spiral out of control.
Are you serious?!?!?!? Those professions also rely on tips instead of wages? What sort of country do you live in!
Hahaha no all those make more than minimum wage and the tips are just a nice supplement. With the exception of some bartenders. But they make tons of money so I don’t pity them 😂
