International fans visiting the US for the World Cup have become frustrated by the culture of having to tip servers, telling the BBC that tipping fatigue has set in.
It’s kinda insane to me how successful tip propaganda is. 20%??
My whole life, 15% was considered a top tier tip. Prices have gone up on everything across the board, but tips are a percentage meaning 15% is still more money than it was twenty years ago, so why in the fuck has it gone from 15% for a great tip to 20% as a minimum?? So not only are prices higher, you want a higher cut of that higher price?? Insane.
People are stupid and that’s why it’s done what it has.
I hate when I walk to a counter, order something then the machine is programmed to ask for a tip. Fuck everything about that. Hate hate tipping culture to begin with.
Are you all saying you can dish it but can’t take it?
We aren’t just going to get shit on by you people and not call you out for the same behavior. Why the fuck are you people so entitled? Is it the culture where you’re all from?
You tip 20% of the bill, or less if you are an asshole. What’s so hard to understand?
Don’t get pissed off at me, get pissed off at the asshole who won’t pay you and expects ME to.

Once again 20% was the norm in 2001 when I was doing that job. It has not creeped up. It hasn’t changed in nearly 30 years.
I don’t know what job or where in the country you were, but 20% was never the norm my whole life going back to the 90s.
It’s been creeping up too, 20% is now the offered minimum but I’ve seen the options go up to 30% at least

Pay has gone up less than prices. That’s why tip percentage has gone up.
Most people’s haven’t; why am I further subsidizing the restaurant’s payroll??
Because you’re choosing to go to restaurants that use the tipping model. Choose to go to ones that do not, EZPZ.
BUT IM ENTITLED TO SOMEONE SERVING MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! You’re wanting me to go to an establishment of poors!
They’re all from places where the price on the menu is the final price.
But in case you’re thinking “you have to adapt to the culture,” Americans are still notorious for standing out as tourists and not adapting.
And are rightfully called out for it all the time, just like this. Welcome to the club!
Yes, we are.

Yes. Europeans have been shitting on each other for centuries. Welcome to the fun.
