[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate our American culture of tipping. It's absolutely ridiculous and we are one of the few places in the world to do such a thing, in the manner that we do it. What about your local garbage man, your electrician at the local utility company that gets up in the middle of the night to fix a power line during a blizzard, etc.... Hell, even an employee at Best Buy who goes out of their way to ensure you understand everything about a product and leave satisfied. I mean the list goes on and on. What makes the service industry (i.e. Hotel, restaurant, etc.) so special?

I understand that some people get paid piss poor wages, but shouldn't we fight this battle against the employers? Instead of complaining about customers who don't tip or leave a small amount? I tip for how I feel the service is performed but I can't stand it. I'm not tipped for my line of work and I can tell you I work for very little compared to what I do. Just my 2 cents....[/quote]

Oh my God. My thoughts EXACTLY. I moved to the US from Germany and am shocked at how entitled people here are when it comes to tipping. Tipping is optional. Not mandatory.

If people don't get paid enough we should try to fix THAT, instead of making every day people feel bad for not paying more than what they have to pay for something. If I feel like tipping, sure fine. But if I don't give you a tip and you don't make enough money due to that - you need to talk to your employer and be mad at THEM, not mad at the customer who HAS paid for the service already.[/quote]
