This whole tipping culture is reaaaallly hard trying to land here northern EU and I absolutely hate it, I refuse to tip anyone. Employers, pay your employees a living wage, it shouldnt be up to customers generosity. You cant? Then sounds like you should charge more of your customers, downsize your business until you can… or go out of business, since sounds like your profitable business is not actually profitable.

What really annoys me is the American servers coming at the patrons: "if you can't afford to tip, you shouldn't eat out!"

I would hate for that attitude to spread to the northern EU as well.

Cool, bet. Now we don’t eat out and they don’t have jobs.

Stopping this country from eating takeout is more of an undertaking than world peace

You don’t need a server for door dash. So instead of working in a restaurant they’re paying for their own cars to deliver to your house instead of your table.

Makes total sense.

Of course there's always the option of begging the government to bail you out, and then they do for some bizarre reason.

We live in a capitalist society for individuals and socialist society for corporations, which feels the wrong way round.
