Makes sense, tipping is a dumb American thing that civilised countries shouldn't doThe United States imported tipping culture from the Europeans, the so-called "European Plan". In fact in the 20th and early 21th century there was a strong anti-tipping culture in the United States. --- Aut viam inveniam aut faciam.

Some people like to tip because it gives them a feeling of power over others. They also enjoy the delusion of themselves dispensing largesse like a medieval lord.

tipping culture differs wildly between european countries but ofc americans are incapable of naming any country other than their own and have to resort to "europe" every fucking timeOnly you would go into a topic about the ugly European tourist that refuses to learn, or abide by the most basic customs in the countries they visit, and all Americans dumb. --- Unless you're Miles Davis, there is some other brotha' smoother than you. ...

Japan doesn't tip because it's seen as insulting, and the workers are just payed properly in the first placeWe went to Japan in 2019 for three weeks, and while tipping wasnt expected, they absolutely accepted tips and didn't see it as an insult. --- https://i.imgur.com/XNEdLrJ.png ...

The tip system is terrible. However, in most places in the USA, it is unfortunately necessary due to the lack of actual wage for the employees in those industries.

We also traveled throughout Europe back in 2018 (England, France, Germany, Greece) for three weeks, and some restaurants had tip options when we checked out. They also charged for the stupidest shit (like water isnt free, ice isnt included, refills arent a thing for drinks, and in Greece, they would charge for the bread basket which you cant refuse), which essentially makes the bill higher anyway.

Forcing an employer to pay their employee is not "punishing" anybody but the employer. That's still punishing the server because the server wasted their time and lost money serving that table. That table could have gone to someone who tips. Next time the restaurant should just refuse to serve them. It's just simple business.

Showing gratitude is stupid? American tipping culture is extremely stupid, it encourages low wages and mistreatment of staff by business owners. It's also completely arbitrary who we are allowed/expected to tip.

If you visit a country, you follow their customs provided that it doesn't hurt anybody.
So yes, visitors from non-tipping countries that don't tip in a country where the expectation is to tip are assholes.

I agree that American tipping culture is ridiculous, but that means it fits in perfectly with other aspects of the country.

I expect the crime rate to plummet now in Chicago. Yes, this one thing will change all material conditions and end all systemic problems. /s Now, realistically speaking as adults - this will help the material conditions of one group that is historically low crime in single mothers/women who largely fill waitressing and server jobs. So over the long term, allowing these mothers to have a slightly less stressful work life and maybe work slightly fewer hours to support themselves it can have a very positive long term results for their children... including young males who are a high crime demographic. Huh... looks like it could have a long term positive result in lowering crime rates after all - just not in your smug and myopic enemy of perfect fallacy way. --- Be careful: I was moderated for telling people not to commit illegal acts of assault and murder.
