    But what I take issue with is when tourists are being blamed. Because they’re not the problem. They contribute to additional profit for the resturant. The problem is the management that can get away with not paying their staff enough.

    Here’s the disconnect: the restaurant owners who make said “additional profit” are not the ones complaining, they’re not the ones in this thread. The ones complaining are the workers directly affected by the lack of tips, and they’re capable of hating both their boss/the system and the customers that don’t tip who are complicit in their exploitation by paying their boss. The worker sees NONE of that profit but ALL of the work they didn’t get paid for because the euros didn’t tip them and their boss doesn’t give half a shit.

    The problem is both of you not paying the staff, if either of you did there’d be less to complain about.

    Tipping is rude in Japan. If I go to Japan and tip, I’m rude. It is my responsibility to know this as a visitor to their country.

    Not tipping is rude in America. If I go to America and don’t tip, I’m rude. It is my responsibility to know this as a visitor to their country.

    Simple as.

      Again. Having the fucked up system of people having to survive on handouts and donations from strangers is the problem. Not the tourists.

      The only disconnect is that americans are bitching about tourists not tipping on lemmy, rather than bitching about servers having to rely on tips in the first place to their representatives.

      The US vowed to offer free public transit for World Cup tourists in their bid to host it. Instead once push came to shove. They increased their prices instead of upholding what they promised.

      Maybe more tourists would tip had their entire budget not been flipped on its head just weeks prior to the event.

      Simple as.

        Sure, but unless you can fix it yesterday, before they got here, this is the system they’re visiting.

        Oh yeah I forgot about that, all the waiters in the country got together and conspired to do that to personally fuck you, I remember that meeting.

        You think the people you’re not tipping had anything to do with that? You’re insane.

          You think the people you’re not tipping had anything to do with that? You’re insane.

          What the fuck are you talking about? You are aware that most people dont have unlimited funds right? Having to spend an extra $50-$100 on transport for each trip has to come out of the budget somewhere.

          But you thought i suggested the waiters conspired to raise transport prices? Because that’s the obvious conclusion or what? No, I’m not insane. But you’re an idiot stuck at a second grade reading level.

            No u.

            You are aware that most people dont have unlimited funds right?

            You are aware the servers you’re stiffing are part time workers without healthcare or vacation time at all and they’re also struggling to afford basic life, right? While the people that won’t tip can afford to fly halfway across the fucking world for their precious soccy game? Talk about out of touch lmao.

            Fuck your budget, stay home.

            But you thought i suggested the waiters conspired to raise transport prices?

            OH my mistake you’ve never experienced sarcasm before. Bless your heart you sweet summer child. Fucking christ.

            Because that’s the obvious conclusion or what?

            If that is the justification you’re giving for why they can’t tip those specific servers than I guess so, they must have slighted you personally if they’re the ones that get the shaft. Unless you’re a bad person…

            No, I’m not insane.

            Debatable

            But you’re an idiot stuck at a second grade reading level.

            Oh look there’s that “no u” again! Funny thing that. Hey don’t get mad at me you’re the one blaming servers for what was it, bus prices or some dumb fucking bullshit? Fuck off lmao.
