If you don’t like the tipping culture just go to a fast food restaurant or make your own food.

You know in other countries there's restaurants that specialize in different dishes. They make stuff that you might not know how to make. They make stuff in bulk that's hard to make to-order. There's a lot of reasons why you might eat out rather than make it yourself.

Tipping isn't essential to this place. If you specialize in making pigs feet and you open a pig feet restaurant, you can charge people whatever you want them to pay for your pigs feet, and if they want it they pay it. But if you expect to hire waitstaff to do all the customer service, you better pay them a fair portion of what you're charging customers. Giving them pennies and then telling customers "Oh just pay the help whatever you want, it's extra" is just fucking evil. But instead of one shitty business model drying out, it became the norm in only your country.

Yet another case of a stupid american not understanding how the world works outside of america.... no vision of how things could work otherwise. Just arrogance and contempt.

I don’t live in the US bro. But this post is obviously about tipping culture in the US. This is not an issue in other parts of the world where tipping isn’t expected so that the servers aren’t getting starvation wages.

I'm sorry what? You never lived in the US and yet you're gonna say what you think the solution to tipping culture is? Look I try not to assume that people are American but the alternative to you not being American and making a post like that is you being fucking stupid. Why not just tell people "Just move?"

Although I guess to be honest when I thought I was responding to an American I thought you were an absolute knob too, so maybe you just have that vibe of "I talk confidently about things I don't understand"

I live in Canada. We have the same issue. Why is it that Americans constantly think of the world in terms that they’re the only people that exist in it? Most of you don’t even attempt to not look like total morons. But seriously, go ahead and try to justify not tipping as being anything but you being cheap and entitled. It’s just going to make people think you’re stupid on top of you being cheap and entitled.
