Should tipping culture be "normalized" in Europe? in c/europe@feddit.org
[–] Shadow79@piefed.social 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I've heard that in some American restaurants, the employer withholds the server's entire tips (aka. owner robbing them of their money just to put in their own pockets) meaning the server gets nothing. That shit is illegal in the EU if one tries to pull that off.

How much are servers paid in Germany? Even if they received tips, is it tax free?

Should tipping culture be "normalized" in Europe? (piefed.social)
 

I know that some American tourists actually do this, on giving servers cash tips as if they're underpaid by their employer (since they're used to it in the USA along with growing up with that mindset) but overlook the fact that servers are paid the minimum wage in the EU, as it's not "typically" the norm. This practice is being exported it seems, in another region where that isn't common.

If you were a waiter & waitress, would you accept a cash tip this large? (piefed.social)

The scenario is: you are handed 10,000 CHF in cash. Will you take it or refuse? Although, this is A LOT of money: are you allowed to accept it at face value? For example, in the USA - you end up receiving more due to currency exchange.

Is giving only formula long term "healthy" for a baby? (piefed.social)
 

I mean, at least a baby should be breastfed (as in a balance between formula and breastmilk) while there are those who solely use formula as their main means of feeding the baby but later in life that child has issues with their immunity like being susceptible on illnesses that are typically not fatal for most people.

That’s because breastmilk has all the nutrients to strengthen immunity later in life for a child. There is a difference between breastmilk and powdered milk: since formula is composed of numerous chemicals (it’s made from compounds) while breastmilk is from the mother. Is breastmilk healthier than formula?
