[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a USA problem created by big business greed. Notice how they don’t have tip issues in Europe?[/quote]

You can’t really compare the US to Europe:

- European restaurants have smaller portions and limited hours, which would never work in the US. Americans demand large portions and for restaurants to be open 7 days a week for 16-24 hours a day.

- In Europe many of the buildings have rent control, so businesses don’t need to worry about rent going up by insane amounts.

- European menus have way higher prices

- many countries allow restaurants to charge fees for water, bread, and even seating.

- Many European countries also give subsidies for family owned restaurants.

Which really all just goes back to we need to change laws and the overall culture, but nobody wants to do that.[/quote]

What about Japan? Or Korea? Or India? Tipping is not a thing pretty much everywhere else without the complications of subsidies or charging for everything..[/quote]
