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.

    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.
