If you travel abroad often, you'll notice the concept of tipping doesn't exist, except in very rare circumstances. People should provide good service, period. If they don't, then they chose the wrong industry to be in. Are you tipping the driver for delivering your car in one piece? - It's literally their job to deliver the car undamaged. Not to mention shipping cars is crazy expensive as it is.

I agree with not tipping an auto transport driver but... tipping is an American thing bc we don't have certain social safety nets that are commonplace in European countries (e.g. healthcare, education).
Lots of people in various industries do rely on or greatly appreciate tips to make ends meet especially during COVID era.
Just saying that maybe a more nuanced view on tipping is needed instead of a blanket "fuck tipping" bc other countries don't do it. |
That's one... many non Americans don't understand the base hrly wage for waiters / bartenders.
And two... i have never in any part of the world recieved service like I have in the USA when at restaurants... namely because people work for those tips and if they screw up; they know they won't get it. With the business now being shattered due to Covid, it just generally makes you a really bad person not too tip. |
And that's exactly what's wrong with this country. People like you thinking that those who don't tip are somehow "bad people" 🤦*♂️
Folks in Europe, Asia, and other parts of the world have managed just fine for centuries without "5-star" service (fake ass service here in the states most of the time anyway). Tipping in the US is more important than providing the most basic of healthcare. What a joke lol
