But seriously it's fucking bizarre to tip anyone in Europe. We get paid actual wages and don't have to make it up in tips.




I know right? I already pay for the food, what a flawed system. I'm a wage slave myself, the fuck would I tip someone.




In America you are allowed to pay servers and pizza delivery people etc, FAR below minimum wage because the excuse is "they make up for it in tips".

I remember when I used to work as a server at a sushi joint back in the day, I made 2.00/hour (min wage was $6.50ish?)
I fucking thrived on tips. If I didn't get tips, I didn't pay bills. Luckily people at good sushi places tip well. So I did well.

Delivering pizzas is the same deal, they usually pay far under min wage. And give you shit in compensation for gas/travel.

But yeah, not tipping someone that their livelihood revolves around tips.... Pretty fucked.
I delivered pizzas at one point and I used to hate the non-tippers.. it was always the same people too.

If you order a service and that person giving you the service thrives on tips and they do a good service.. then you are an asshole if you do not tip plain and simple.
It's customary to tip 15-20% in my book, if the service sucks then it can drop accordingly, or go up if they do a really good job.
Don't order pizza delivery if you can't give the guy a couple bucks

so who's the greedy bastard here?. the one getting angry for not getting tips, or the one not giving tips when he has the money?.

trick question, both are dirtbags.




Not really. One is just doing their job so they can live a decent life.




If they wanted a better life, they would try harder to get a better job, no?




You really think anyone wants to work a dead end job? Not everyone has a family to support them early in life. Do you know how hard it is toI pay for college, rent and all the other bills and work a dead end job??

Wow. Yeah because its so easy to get a good job that pays well.

:facepalm:




It isn't easy, you have to work hard to get what you want.

I'm just saying, if you get a job that mostly depends on tips to survive, don't expect good pay every single time. If you get such a job you should go in knowing what to expect.

"...If tipping is such a big deal, why don't they have a big fucking sign for it?. That's the problem, many people just don't know the situation, they don't know how badly these people need it. Then you get these angry bartenders calling people dirtbags because they didn't know the deal?. How are they suppose to know?...

You can tell the ones who know because they have enough class and good manners to do the right thing.

They should really bring more awareness to the matter though if it is such a big issue. We need more documentaries on the subject. Like "super size me", but "tip me". :tongue:

Dude, it's a cultural thing- it's like common knowledge.

I always tip at least 20%. One thing you have to understand is: most of the time late meals, etc. are due to kitchen screw ups and NOT delivery person screw ups. So I don't normally punish delivery people for stuff like that.
