That would also require being unfortunate enough to be in the US for a protracted length of time.

While the UK is indeed a shit hole and getting worse thanks to Trump wannabes and other associated scumbags only a hair's breadth from being out and out Nazis, it isn't quite as bad as the US. Yet.

Edit: I have spent time in the states, but it's direction in the last decade has put paid to me ever returning, for business or pleasure. Fuck that.

    I live in Canada, not the US. We have tipping here as well, but we don’t pay restaurant servers $2/hr. They get the same minimum wage that everyone else gets. We still have tons of World Cup tourists refusing to tip and creating a big conflict.

    I think some restaurants are moving to automatic 20% surcharges on the bill as a way of dealing with non-tippers.
