tipping

Plus, in America, undeclared cash income as sole support=no Social Security credits=getting screwed when you reach retirement age.

And you pretty much have to have children now to get cash welfare. Blame Clinton for that.

tip taxi driver, waiting staff and barber, can't think of anyone else.

goddamn, I'm supposed to tip my hotel housekeeper?

If you're like me, when you're in a foreign country you just leave all the loose change you won't want to drag in to cash in and add $5 on top

when I went to summer camp in china in 9th grade, we left a tip for the housekeeper on our last day. right before we got on the bus, one of the hotel staff came running out and told us that we had forgotten some money on the dresser.

god what an annoying infographic, great idea but how hard can it be to make all the countries where tipping is 15-20% one color, 10-15% another color, no tipping another color???

Tipping ain't just a city in China

Love that ilx can still find enough material to keep this thread a perennial clusterfuck joy. Thanking u frogbs.

do we tip the guy that made the map? maybe less than 10% because we don't like the colours?

this thread raelly makes me think of tippage

it's wrong about the uk (service charges are rarely included) and germany (lol "dollars are accepted but euros are appreciated")

It also says that if a service charge isn't included, a tip can be excepted.

maybe the author has only been to tourist areas where dollars are always accepted

i'm sure the author was very popular on their trips to france

service charges are rarely included

really? feels increasingly common

maybe (not in my experience). it's definitely still the exception though.

so what's the tipping policy across the pond

10-15% in restaurants unless a service charge is included, round up in taxis, and no tips anywhere else (unless i'm forgetting something)

that infographic looks/sounds like it was ripped off of some 15-year-old source, hence all the stuff about "dollars are appreciated"

maybe they mean aesthetically

dollars haven't appreciated, they've depreciated thanks to the fed's gutless fiscal policies!!!!!

"yes your dollar is very pretty, can i please have some actual money instead thank you"

you know who has pretty but worthless money, is Ghana

There was a Planet Money piece about tipping on All Things Considered today. Cliffs: quality of service has little impact on amt of tips.

there's truth to that. Consider the scenario that the kitchen takes too long to get the food out, customer complains, bill is voided by the manager. In that scenario, no matter how good I was to the table, it seemed just a matter of personal principle whether they tipped me or not (usually they left a tip, especially cuz they just got a free meal, but not always).

btw thanks to this thread I dreamed I was back at my old restaurant job from 8 years ago last night and woke up in a cold sweat. u owe me new unstained sheets ILX

well im also p skeptical of most ppl's ability to accurately evaluate 'quality of service'

surely that should be 'sbing frogsby'
