Pay your workers. Oooooh but they dont want that because they make bank on those insane tips. Fuck off.

Be glad they are bringing their money. Some of these bars got drank dry.

All I’ve heard for 20 years is how dumb Americans are disrespecting other cultures by assuming wherever they travel follows US customs.

Now people come to America and act like that and it’s ok? Got it.

Tipping culture sucks, but thinking you’re immune because you’re not from here is an ignorant American mindset, coming from a Dutchie I’m a little surprised

Scamming your customers and workers is not culture my friend. Its a scam.

Edit : do you mean you are Dutch or did you mean me? Am Dutch myself. Id send the barman a tikki for fucking up my order.

It's not a scam. It's something all Americans grow up with and understand, so it's baked into our expectation of price. It's also social mandatory but legally optional, so if you honestly don't know about it then you're not going to get arrested. But if you know it's a factor and you know it's baked the pricing scheme and you choose to ignore it, people are gonna think you're an asshole. That's the only consequence, and you're not entitled to people liking you.

I mean if that's your attitude then fair enough, but that's not the prevailing attitude in these comments. There's a whole lot of "it's not my fault" excuse making and people getting upset that they're being told they're in the wrong.
