I have been to, and enjoy, restaurants that specifically say they are a NO TIPPING business. I feel like in that case, I have no guilt or pressure to tip...and I do it because they deserved it. |

Don’t really recall prices from our last overseas trip but they were probably comparable to fine dining in the us. What I did notice is some establishments are starting to accept tips, picking up on the nasty American habit. You still only need to leave a buck or two for excellent service and food…if you want to. p.s. my wife has a business where it’s customary to tip. She stopped accepting them because she too is sick of the whole tipping bs. Alright fine, I’ll post a food pic from L’isola di Capri. Not fine dining but paid what you’d expect to pay in the us but without the tip. We also had a lovely cocktail called a capri spritz that’ll knock you on your keister. No tip. And of course the sights were stunningly beautiful. |

Not my fault that Biden has fcked up everything so that you need to beg for a tip during fulfilling take out orders.

I seriously hope these ****ers that voted for minimum wage increases that are so outrageous like this voted themselves right out of jobs with no option for unemployment. |

I would rather flip burgers for minimum wage than wait tables for $2.00 and hour plus tips. Now, if you make both a minimum wage job, I'd rather wait tables and do it well enough to earn tips on top of minimum wage. |

Some brave restaurateurs are experimenting with paying their employees a more reasonable wage and banning tipping - you should seek them out and patronize them if you can. |

Tipping is a US thing though. I remember all over Europe, tipping is only a thing near US military bases. Most places just pay their staff adequately so tipping is not a thing. In fact tipping is illegal in some countries. |

15% has always been standard for good service 20% for outstanding. A waitress once told me “yeah but that was 50 years ago” I asked if she understood the concept of percentage? She looked at me funny and I said “ you get a raise every time the prices go up so why should the percentage AMOUNT go up?” I often wonder if any of these people ever learned ANYTHING in school

As far as the last pic with the photog chick and model chick, it was in Venice probably for an online ad, yelp or whatever. I cropped it so you could only see the “hot”. I saw the same model chick in an ad for another Venetian hotel. Blondie photog chick is nothing to sneeze at either. Perfect timing for me to walk by while they were doing the shoot. This was another shoot in Central Park. Feel free to laugh at the fruity fruits. I did. lol Tried talking to red dress model chick. She just smiled at me with an Austrian accent or something. Didn’t understand a word I said. Probably on purpose. |

Any job is worth what it's worth: the degree of skill needed, and/or the supply and demand of labor. A hamburger flipper does not make the same as a mechanic for a reason. If you need a janitor and nobody applies, you'll have to offer more money. If 20 applicants show up, you're offering more than you need to. When GOVERNMENT comes in and distorts the free market with force -- "minimum" or "living" wage -- things go haywire. |

I tip really well for haircuts, around 50%, usually in the same place and same person.
My Jew wife is much like you some of you guys. We've been to Ruth Chris. She raves over it all. I think so she can tell her friends about it. All I say about it is "it's okay." I'd rather get a chicken fried chicken or some ribs at Texas Roadhouse or something. |
