Just learned that a friend of mine always tips 10% on takeout. Ive never tipped on takeout unless they offered me a water/soda while I waited or something.

US biased, but I’m a little curious about other countries as well.

    As much as they are trying

    Ha ha ha same here (NZ), I’m assuming gullible tourists must be keeping that misguided dream alive.

      Went to Greece last year and they’re trying the “Would you like to leave a tip” message on the card machine

      It’s your fucking civic duty to click “NO” then immediately get on Google leaving a 1-star review saying why

      Fuck right off, I’ll decide whether to tip or not, NEVER ask for it

        @Mr_Blott those are popping up a lot in tourist spots here. I just laugh, they’re trying it on.

        Since I’m not from a tipping culture I like being reminded in countries where they need it as part of their wage, though. Didn’t realise it’s offensive.

        One resteraunt I went to shoved on 10% with a note saying opt out. Nowhere was this mentioned until the bill.

        Here’s yhe annoying thing if the food cost 10% more I’d still have happily paid for the meal recommended the place and come back for more as the food was good and cheap for what you got.

        That 1 thing has annoyed me enough I’m never returning and recommending to others to avoid.
