Tipping
Read an article on tipping (with, yes, quite a lot of discussion about Aussies) this morning, and got interested...
View poll: tipping
My general position:
- America, for some insane reason, underpays people and expects them to earn most of their salary through tips. Were I in America, I would (reluctantly) tip everyone. After all, it's not their fault their work conditions stink.
- Luckily, I am in Australia, where tipping is not expected. So I don't tip - unless the place was really brilliant, in which case I might add my spare change to their tip jar...
The conversation's happening over at Dreamwidth. Feel free to comment there using OpenID. (
