Restaurants are adding a 20% automatic tip for World Cup, worried foreigners won't know they're supposed to tip>As Europeans prepare to visit the U.S. for the World Cup, Missouri restaurant officials are proposing a controversial solution in the form of automatic tipping.>"If I was a server, I wouldn't be too happy if I took care of somebody for 90 minutes, and they didn't tip just because they didn't know any better.">To combat this, the MRA is advising Kansas City restaurants to add an automatic 20% gratuity to bills during the tournament.Do Americans really.
Good. Just do that all the time, put it on the menu prices, and stop with the whole fucking song and dance.
>>154746834Just buy at fast food restaurants, no tips there.
>>154746834nice
>>154746834Euros on suicide watch
doesn't that mean the money goes directly to the owner and the servers get fuck all or at most a fraction? that's just not acceptable, tourists should pay another 20% on top of that
>>154747434They'll just keep those prizes and expect americlaps to tip on top of that kek. Btw, have you tipped me for my post yet, Ramirez?
>>154746834>took care of somebody for 90 minutesYeah, bringing some plates and drinks and asking once if everything is okay means you are entitled to a 20% tip. Fuck off. How are americans okay with this blatant robbery? Ban tipping culture
>americans accidentally "inventing" a new system that's just them arriving at the point the civilized world has been at the entire time
>>154747457I'm sure that has happened before but in general, no. If you fuck with people's tips you're asking for your entire staff to walk out on you and maybe a lawsuit or some criminal charges because it's illegal as fuck and there'd be a huge paper trail because of all the card transactions and such. Visa's not going to cover your tracks And you might think the owners could try and threaten to fire people if they don't cooperate but that would be a hollow threat since a wait job without tips isn't even worth having so people would quit before they ever got fired and once the waitstaff walks and tells everybody why the rest of the staff isn't going to side with the owner. I've worked in a lot of restaraunts and known other people who did and I've never heard of it actually happening to anyone. It's the kind of shit you'd only do if you were planning to leave town afterwards or something.
>>154746848>>154747457>>154747549>>154747555>>154747562they're foaming at the mouth kek
Why don’t you just pay people a wage they can live on?
>>154747957Because uhhh land of the free
Anyone going to this event deservers this.Hell, 20% ain't enough.
Americans are mentally ill
>>154747957That's communism or something
>surge of foreign visitors Should we tell him?
This would be illegal here, as it should be. If you are going to charge me X amount put it on the menu so I can agree to it.
What happens if I refuse to tip?
>>154748339the cute waitress girl spits in your food
>>154746834>took care of somebody for 90 minuteskek you mean brought me my food and drink, which is your fucking job. nobody gives me extra money for doing my job, you don't get paid enough take it up with your fucking boss not me.btw Europeans understand tipping just fine - a tip should be given in recognition of exceptional service, not as a matter of course.also service charges are far from unknown here, which is what this 20% supplement actually is
>>154748350which ironically, I would tip for
>>154747555We aren't. Most people don't go to restaurants and instead eat at home
ITT broke people trying to reason why it's ok to be broke like them. Until you're #1 you'll never understand greatness
>>154747941>they're foaming at the mouth keklol no we're just laughing at yet another cucked behaviour which you've normalised
>>154748383wow so all those amerifat posts I saw from people whining about inflation and how they have to pay an extra cent for gas were false flags? shut up and eat your eggs bro
>>154748396Get a load of this chav kek. Pay the rent peasant
For me, I'm quite a rich person with a sickening amount of disposable income, I just don't like how a large chunk of Americans themselves seem to revere the ceremony of being absolutely fleeced.Say I go somewhere nice in Italy or France, it's pretty reasonable to sit at a café and watch the world go by with an Aperol Spritz and some food. It feels quite timeless.But you go to America and it is all so transactional. You go to the Famous Katz's Deli from Instagram and pay $60 for a sandwich (plus you tip the black guy cutting up the meat beforehand so he doesn't spit in it) now fuck off. You go to New Orleans and spend about $200 on a couple of rum cocktails and a "famous" jazz show where they kick you out if you don't buy enough drinks in an hour. [local accent] "That's how we do it in New York/Boston/LA/etc baby". I'm picking up on the touristy things but even just small interactions between locals place some pageantry around handing over some extra cash.
>>154748383If the US government made black men fucking your wife not just encouraged but mandatory and charged you a monthly fee for it, you'd defend it against anybody mocking your for it by calling them too poor to afford it.
>>154746834this will only impact locals since foreigners dont tip at all
>>154747562>>154748385>>154748430Civilized whites do not eat out at goyslop sit-down restaurants, they cook their own food.Stop being a fatfuck and learn basic living skills
>>154748676>Stop being a fatfuckthe audacity of that obese man knows no limit
>>154746834How is it a "tip" if it's compulsory?That goes against the very idea of tipping.
>>154748350Do burgers not tip after the meal?
>steal your tip after being born>remind you of that every time you are paying for something by adding a mandatory tipyou will tip
>>154748791lmao
>>154747555they will hit you with a combo "you've obviously never worked in the food industry" and "don't be cheap" which is hard to overcome
>>154748383>Until you're #1 you'll never understand greatnessWhy do Americans chest beat about how rich their billionaires are?America may have some very rich people, but working class people have far lower quality lives than across most of Europe, and middle class people across parts of Europe like Scandinavia have better living standards
>>154746834But seriously, please come to the world cup. Chances are you won't be carjacked or nabbed by ICE and shipped to a black site in el salvador or deepest darkest africa to be detained indefinitely and intermittently tortured for having a taco meme on your phone
what's with Americans and tips? Is circumcision to blame?
>>154748900>"don't be cheap"Maybe they should start telling that to their bosses rather than their customers.
>>154746834>>"If I was a server, I wouldn't be too happy if I took care of somebody for 90 minutes, and they didn't tip just because they didn't know any better."Take care? They ask you what you want for one minute, they bring you your food and then you pay. Total time no more than 5 minutes and they want 20%?
>>154748982>you won't be carjacked or nabbed by ICE and shipped to a black siteno that only happens to our hardworking, brown engineers and doctors
In america if you don't tip you better not come to that restaurant again cause the mystery meat working in those places will just spit in your food and cover it up nicely while they prepare your slop away from sight
>>154746834Just so Americans know, this is not being reversed after we leave
>>154749277The only saving grace is Ameriorbs love eating so much you never need to go to a place more than once and run out of options
>>154749372I maybe eat once or twice per year in a restaurant. Learn how to cook lads, it really only takes like 20 minutes to cook a steak and mashed potatoes and I don't have to put up with people making noise and zoning out conversations
If you are supposed to do it, why is it a choice? If you are not forced to do it, why is it being enforced?
>>154748900Maybe they should think twice before they say that to my face (I will claim to be Jewish)
>>154747555>How are Americans okay with this blatant robbery? Because there are a lot of these jobs, and that means it is in the best interest of these 'waitresses' to maintain the status quo. Attempts have been made, but it is populistslop to do nothing about it or outright put no tax on it.Keep in mind, a lot of restaurants are extremely posh with only the very rich going to them. Handing over a 50 or 100 bill is nothing to them. That's means being nice and pretty can get you a fortune.Best of all for them, you can pocket the money and not declare it. Some waitresses are earning six figures with tips making up the majority of that money.
If my coworkers do a shit job (often) the customers usually just frown and walk away I wish they could get these bums to quit by having the option of not giving them a living wage
I'm Mr. Pink, fuck all that
>>154747957The owners deserve a wage that they can live on too, you freedom-hating Maoist.
To be fair, those train rides added a mandatory 1200% automatic tip, so 20% isn't that bad when you think of it that way.
>>154749464>The owners deserve a wage that they can live on tooThe owners are in control of their business. If they don't make enough profit to earn their own living, they're doing something wrong.
>>154749491Trust me, non-american anons don't need to be told about this.I'm amazed that tipping is still such a hot issue. Most of the time, I don't trust restaurants for shit, so I cook for myself.
>>154749491>t. Enver Hoxha>>154749516Now that so few people pay with cash, tipping is dying out here. I eat in restaurants regularly because I go out drinking and then go to eat once I'm out, and some places have started adding the automatic tip to my bill. This would make sense if there were two or three of me, but I'm on my own and usually in and out in half an hour, so when I go somewhere that does that I tend to never go back there.
Isnt an automatic gratuity fee included when there are 8+ people or so at a table anyway?
I don't tip.
>>154749464>>154749491hate flags on spee for the most part but this is classic Nigel & Hans
technically, its legally no longer describable as 'tipping' when compulsory. At least, in civilised lands.>#JustAnotherBurgerRipOff
>>154749584>gov.ukBeen almost 250 years since bong laws applied to America.
>>154749591that was the:>At least, in civilised landspart.
>>154748350strange typo but I'd also accept spit
Bloody Germans, man.
>>154747555waitresses used to be hot girls who would flirt with you, now hotties are all online and waitresses are all fags, trannies and landwhales
>americans invent the second TVA (VAT for the barbarians)
It's called home field advantage. If Europoors and tirdworlders can't afford to pay it in order to support their teams then don't show up.

I live in Massachusetts and make decent money. I watch tons of soccer and love the sport. I have a 5 year old son I coach and had been looking forward to attending at least one of the WC games with him in Foxboro.I was immediately priced out. No chance. Even parking down there or taking the T, the fan fest, everything involved- I'm going to sit there, a real fan of the sport, entirely priced out of a game in my backyard just so FIFA can overcharge everyone and one of the worst things about this country, the secondary ticket market price scalpers, can gouge the fuck out of everyoneBest I can find is $300 bucks a piece for Norway vs Iraq, and they wouldn't be in the same section
>>154749911Unlike Europe, our economy is based on real productive capacity and not tourism.
>>154749969hahawait.. this WAS irony, r-right?
>>154749969Your economy is based on a few tech giants in California, anon.
>>154749965>Norway vs Iraqtake your son to see picrel in the flesh anontheres def. worse ideas.
>>154750004>they wouldn't be in the same sectionah wait, i'm retarded.
>>154749562I don't even know a jew who'd have the balls to say that
>>154750004>>154750010Oh when I saw Norway was up here, I was all about going to see the big fella at least once, but the Gianni and his pals decided against itI am going to try the week of the game, a lot of times scalpers and the secondary market get cold feet when the game gets closer and they haven't sold inventory- nobody I know can afford it either, so there's bound to be some last-second ticketsI hope, at least
>>154750053gl to you anonthis tournament is pissing everyone off, for much the same reasons, even from across the atlantic.
>>154749969i watched the wolf of wall street too
>gratuity billlol
>>154749969>our economy is based on real productive capacityYou mean a handful of tech companies passing money to eachother to artificially inflate the economy?
Should football players also get tips for scoring goals?
Can you do this with any product in America? Basically advertise something 20% cheaper and then add it in the checkout
>>154750526Plus taxes
>>154750526for me?its Vegas 'resort fees'completely fabricated hokum.if there is any discernible difference here to actual fucking fraud, I'm not aware of it.>and these hookers STILL expect a Tip.
>>154746834Look. Basically I'm just not gonna tip, yanks. HAHA I know.. UGH I HAHAHA know.. IM SORRY! It's just that I'm not TIPPING, that's all. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>"+12% service and +20% VAT" :I>"mandatory tax" :0Quit bickering, you're all getting ripped off in equal measure
>>154748439Do you not have self awareness Ahmed? Your capital city is the cuck capital of the world
>>154748914Is that what the BBC told you kek? Don't listen to r3ddit fags too lazy to work. If you want to have a decent life in America it's definitely possible. You just have to be willing to live somewhere else
>>154746861No instead the prices are inflated so you still end up paying more
>oh but I mentioned world cupfuck off back to int with this
