Yeah, international travelers had much less of an option, Americans just not eat out, which a lot have been doing.
Unfortunately, this is punishing the victim.
by not going there you're punishing the business.
No and those of us overseas who go there, should tip as well. As much as we hate the system they’ve built around them and as critical of that as we are, refusing to tip there only hurts the person who is working at your service.
Fucking oath we’re being held hostage by a shitty system, but that’s not the fault of the wage earner, who already has the burden of the only fix to it being through politics and ideology.
I initially disagreed with you but you make a valid point. This also is, weirdly, respecting the culture. Just as if Americans were to go somewhere else, it would be proper to fall in line, others should be doing the same...?
I have mixed feelings.
No
Tipping needs to die
