People like you are the problem. The U.S. has a different tipping system compared to the rest of the world.

If you aren't prepared to follow and respect another country's customs and norms then get the f*** out

    Your tipping "culture" is a symptom of how rotten the basics in your country are.

    And yes, I strongly discourage anyone from going to the US for any reason.

    America is currently not an ally nor does it care much for its own people.

    I am indeed sad that so many football fans actually went there when they could have stayed home to let the American tourism industry rot.

    Just as you wish it to be.

    Cry harder. The U.S. has more immigrants crossing their border with the intention to stay permanently per year than any other country in the world.

    Sure, because you chose to pick absolute numbers for a jumble of effective countries called states.

    It's like saying there are more crimes in New York than in a tiny town because of the absolute number being bigger.

    What you need to look at is per capita. Per capita, the US doesn't top the list. Countries like Germany and Canada absorb larger shares of immigrants relative to their population size.

    But sure, keep parroting the propaganda bubble info you live in too much.

    Correct. The U.S. doesn't top the list per capita, but you're shifting the goalposts and you know it.

    Just responding to bullshit some USA fanboy made that has nothing to do with tipping.

    If you want people to agree with your mindset go to some maga reddit where people will prefer US propaganda over critical thinking.

    Bye.

    As someone from the US, I sure as heck don’t respect tipping. Calling it a culture is just more sales pressure. It long since stopped being a gratuity for service and has become a toxic habit for restaurant owners to exploit both customers and employees

    Yeah I usually do it anyway because singling out one person to express indignation is also wrong

    I'm not saying it doesn't suck. It does.

    You wouldn't walk into someone else's house and start ignoring their rules and boundaries.

    When you're in someone else's home, show them respect, otherwise don't go there.

    Didn't your parents ever teach you manners? I guess not.

    Slavery used to be part of Americas "customs and norms" too, if that was still around would you be demanding people respect it?
