How do Americans even work if they get mad that they don't get tips?

[Millennial_KiwiGamer]

Literally the only country in the world where the workers are greedy enough to think they're entitled to a tip.

In Japan tips are actually an insult and is disrespectful.

I’m serious. Even homeless people in Japan work for their money. There’s a guy who collects recyclables to trade in for money. He lives off 1,000 yen a day.

meanwhile in europe where people have high min wage and people still tip in many countries

Japanese girl doing the service : Get out of here BAKA

Any worker should be grateful for any tip(s) their receive during work, accept the tip with a smile and be grateful. As someone from the UK, we don't have this stupid tipping culture thankfully.

When I visited america last year, I paid a ton of money on tipping people, I really got tired of it to be honest. It's my own hard earned money I worked long and hard for and I though to myself, why should I make up someone's wage because the business owners are greedy and won't pay a proper living wage.

Plus, don't blame the worker due to their employer's greed tho, again, this pits working people against each other.

You do need to be careful. Jobs where all the employee does is charge you, it is a scam to get tipped. Self checkouts should not be asking for tips, or any job where the customer is doing the work.

Nobody should be asking for tips to begin with. Tips are courtesy, ffs.

So I keep hearing. I'm not going down this entire conversation all over again.

They are a courtesy. Just like how the metric system is global.

Isn’t it because of people who constantly tip really well and the moment someone doesn’t, they get pissed off about it

[swillfly]

You get what you pay for. Paying a tip for dine-in food is a good idea because although gratuities are optional keep in mind that those people prepare your food and if they choose to may take their lack of tip as justification to spit (or worse) in your food that you paid for. Choice is yours.

I hope all the cheapskates *enjoy* their un-tipped food.

Tipping is broken in this country. First it started to be customary to tip certain professions, then they tried to take that into account when we created minimum wage laws, then restaurant owners abused that and if you don't tip you are likely harming the employee, and worse still if your State outlaws employers from doing that the culture doesn't change and now you are not only paying the full price others would be paying with via tips but you are pressured to tip in addition to that. And you will still get the line "if you can't afford to tip don't eat out" in States that outlaw sales tax from people who just a moment before were talking about how a sales tax on luxury goods (often a smaller percent then you are expected to tip at restaurants) prevents people from making purchases they otherwise would have.

You're naive and fail to understand a key point. The structure of certain jobs in America require tips to be considered a living wage.

Example, you get paid $2.13 per hour in my state a a server/waiter.

Work 11am- 11pm =$25.56 for the whole day. Minimum tax bracket is 10% here in the US, So after taxes that's at best $23 for the whole day without adding tips. Working 6 of 7 days a week you're only at $138 a week. Nobody can live on that successfully here.

Other jobs pay a livable wage and tips are indeed extra. It depends on the specific job. I'd love for tipping industries to just pay their workers a livable base rate and do away with tipping, but as it stands, that's not the case. The flip side of that is food gets more expensive at restaurants so people will complain about costly food if they don't have to tip .So you have to play the game until that changes
