different customs?
what are you going to do, happens
I don't know about South America, but in Europe tipping is a much, much smaller deal.
In Germany, an appropriate tip would be whatever change is left over. So If the bill was 20.72 Euros, and you gave them 21, the change would be an acceptable tip.
Of course, if they find out you're from the US, they'll try to take advantage of that.
I USE BE WAITER. I SERVE GRINGO ONE DAY
THEN PAY BILL HE WITH
ME ANGRY WANT KILL
Malone tips very well! Cousin worked the ice cream store several years ago at the airport, Malone gave him a $20 for a freakin ice cream cone.
In europe tipping is not a big deal, just like bathing isn't a big deal either.
It's not a big deal because we are decent enough to pay hard working people a full wage, unlike the US where they depend on the tip to make it through the month.
But you would not know this since you've probably never set foot outside your trailer park anyway.

slomo
communism sucks. PERIOD.
How is paying a person the full worth of his/hers work communism? I don't see bank tellers depending on tips to pay their rents, or car mechanics or building workers......
And don't even get me started on communism, because my friend I've survived it (actually I've survived its most benign form, and it still sucked) so explain to me why certain jobs do not deserve a full wage and others do.
I think he's thinking of Socialism, but paying waitstaff a normal wage is in no way, shape or form socialism.
neither do I and I live here. Maybe I am in the wrong business!I don't see bank tellers depending on tips to pay their rents, or car mechanics
You are right though Slomo...a lot of people work hard and don't get a lot for it.
Very ignorant comment, TPark, very ignorant indeed . . .
I'd back off of slomo if I were you TPark...I haven't seen him get an edge like that before and I have a feeling you are about to get served.
I agree. But seriously this is one thing I have never really understood about America. Don't you think it's kind of demeaning to people in the restaurant industry?
I understand how it's supposed to work but even I have been in enough restaurants to see asshole customers putting down their waiter/waitress by not tiping just because he/she had a bad day and had to take it out on someone.
Waiters are the only people that make less than minimum wage here and they make a substantial amount more than that in tips. And if they are working large parties the tip is automatically included most of the time.
Here it's like if it's a personal service job you get tipped extra for quality service.
Tipping is usually something extra to show appreciation for prompt or couteous service...it's not usually to be expected as anything other than etiquette...
Technically Manny can't do crap about Manu not tipping him...except complain.
See this is awesome...you probably have a lot of insight you could give to the political forum.
We talk about communism and socialism all the time and we all think we know what we are talking about but none of us really have first hand experience on what it's like to live under that form of government...
It happens but it's the exception not the rule...and waiters usually make great money for the amount of hours they work and the type of work they do.
And most of the time they get more than is expected from the customers.
It's not as bad as you think it is. Really it's not...and if it is the waiters won't work at that restaurant.
Uh, ok communism is fantastic.
Pay everyone the same amount of money.
Ive been served alright.
Im soooooo scared.
Socialism, communism, same ideals.
Everyone should get the same, top to bottom, if your rich sahem on you, same ideals.
Quit begging. Get another freakin job.
First, it's a joke that many people (See SpursWoman's first post) would get because they saw me right after it happend.
Second, expecting a tip when one is customary is not begging.
Anything else?
