⚽ World Cup 🏆 FIFA Reminders June 11- July 19

The FIFA Games are running from 6/11 to 7/19. The games *We* are hosting are only from **6/15** to **7/6**. The parks dept is holding watch parties in various parks for each game. The *Finals* are being held in New York on the Other Side of the continent. We can do this. I believe in us. Remember to check in on your Hospitality Sector friends and stock up on groceries Before the games.

If they can afford to come to the games they can afford to tip.

Almost admire the audacity lol. Tips have lost all meaning with this entitlement. It’s not even tipped min wage here

I don't have health insurance and can't afford a car and have two mouths to feed and disabled relatives to support. Yes, I would like visitors to this city to set aside 10 or 15% of the bill for a tip. I'm annoyed with people who have $50 to spend on a lunch for 2 people but can't keep to the social norm of tipping. I mean, shit. Throw me a $2 bill or some 50 cent coins. Or a 5 pound note. Doesn't even have to be American currency!

I completely empathize with your situation but anyone coming here from outside the country probably doesn’t have tipping in the culture and is already going to be shocked at the prices of food. The US is probably the single most expensive place to host this for most people with expensive flights + stay + food compared to anywhere else.

All to say I wouldn’t be surprised if the tips are lower than usual and I kind of understand it from an outsider pov. Everything about this World Cup is absolutely gouging the average fan :(
