  • Forced/expected tipping is toxic and absolutely wrong for so many reasons, the least of which is in many states it is expected for staff wages so legal exceptions to the minimum wage are enacted (some places you make less than 2$ /hr).

    And yes, it is like a little bonus for the working staff.

    In Spain tipping is generally rounded up change to the nearest euro, people still give tips feely and it is a welcome surprise but definitely not expected.

    I find it ironic that the English shit on the Spanish for not tipping, then don’t tip themselves, and Americans always say ‘hey, we don’t have to tip!’ and don’t, completely missing the point of tipping.

    The Dutch are famously tight but tip well, the Irish tip well.
