First of all, let’s try to avoid American-bashing, and stay respectful to everyone.

I’ll start: for me it’s the tipping culture. Especially nowadays, with the recent post on !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world with the 40% tip, it just seems so weird to me to have to pay extra just so that menu prices can stay low.

    I have never tipped in Germany, France, Spain, Poland, Italy, Austria , Hungary, Portugal. I guess our experiences are different

      I’ve worked in 3 and lived in 1 (for 10+ years) of those countries as service and have always been tipped… Maybe it is just a local thing
